Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

well that's because labor did become much more similar to the tories with that cunt blair when thatcher was in office, didn't it? the difference isn't as small in the us, however disappointing it might be.

democrats are center right but not straight up fascist as the republican party is today.

at the very least they're trailing behind the population when it comes to social justice. the republicans are completely against anyone except straight cis white males having any rights.

they talk about trans people a lot but they already started taking women's rights away. who's safe? gays? black people? leftists? you can say both parties are disappointing but it's a joke to say they are "the same."

also AOC talking about the election last time had a good argument for Biden despite her differences: forget who you support. but who do you think will be more responsive to arguments and protests? if it's Biden, you might or might not pressure him to do some things. if it's the other guy, you know he will not listen.

the exception seems to be genocide unfortunately, but it won't be better under the guy who triggered and facilitated all of this while he was in the office in the first place.

and I'm sorry but you can't expect the democrats to come to their senses on their own. if you think not voting for them will suddenly make them think they should appeal more to the left, historically you've been wrong; the only lesson they learn is that they should appeal more to the right because the right is winning despite being a minority. that's how their deteriorating minds work.
