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.

My voting strategy is super easy. You don't need to keep up with politics or policy. Just see who the KKK is voting for and then vote for the other guy.

As an outsider, it's really depressing to hear you only get two parties to choose from.

We have to keep it forever though, because some dead slave owners thought up the perfect government, apparently.

by far my favorite part about this is that thomas jefferson thought the constitution should be rewritten from scratch every 25 years but that hasn't stopped every conservative politician ever from treating it like gospel

"Constitution Originalists."

And we can't change it because "if we don't just keep following the system, we might elect Hitler. Don't vote third party, that's throwing your vote away and then the other guy will win".

There's no winning. Only us constantly losing.

Well, we get more, but realistically there's only two.

There were a few times the Klan rallied behind progressive pro-civil rights candidates to intentionally sabotage them, but this tactic doesn't get used today.

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

That's pretty good! Mine is similar: I check which feces-smearing insurrection has attendees with the "Camp Auschwitz" hoodies and vote against their candidate.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This works 100% of the time.

Don't they regularly declare they're voting for Democrats as a dog whistle?

[–] olivebranch@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You shouldn't have just one other guy though. KKK might prefer one, but be ok with the other as well.

[–] wildcherry@slrpnk.net -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I yes it have so great outcomes so far lmao /s

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still better than the alterrnative

[–] wildcherry@slrpnk.net -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you rather have AIDS or long COVID?

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... I can't tell if you are being serious because the answer is fuckdamn obvious.

[–] wildcherry@slrpnk.net -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok then, please give us your arms for injection. Democracy is a nutshell. Coolios for standing up against aids by voting for covid.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

bruh it's a joke from south park ffs. I'm not even the guy you're arguing with

At the City Hall, members of the KKK march up, loudly voicing their support for the current flag as a symbol of "white power". This causes discomfort amongst Jimbo, Ned, and a number of the other flag supporters: they do not wish to be sided on any issue with the Klan. To remedy this problem, Jimbo and Ned infiltrate the clan and suggest that if they want the flag to remain unchanged, they should advocate that the flag should be changed, because the majority of people will always vote against whatever the Klan wants.

Oh my apologies buddy didn't get the reference :3

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ya, the KKK was only in power for 4 years when everyone was upset about Bernie not winning!

[–] wildcherry@slrpnk.net -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not my problem buddy. Fix your fucking country.

Not in their game at least.

Come on. If it was a one time thing, I would understand, but using fascism as a scarecrow is pretty much an integral part of centrist strategy nowadays. And it will lead to fascism.
