Palestinians: Joe Biden has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands. I will never support a genocidal monster like him.

Some random white tumblr user: oh so you want queer people to die huh you want to kill all trans people and scream make America great again huh I know you love trump just say it out loud say you want to vote trump and hurt queer people I know you do have I mentioned you love trump and you need to stop pretending you care about those terrorists-I mean those Palestinians. Btw you love trump

OK, but for real though, our options are only "genocidal Joe" or "dictator for a day" Trump. If we don't support Joe (solely by way of votes. PLEASE keep pushing against him about Palestine) then we are automatically supporting Trump.

That's it. Those are the only results.

And I can guarantee you that Trump will not be any better for the Palestinians. Shall I remind you of Trump's blanket "Muslim ban" pretty much the instant he got into office?

Trump sinks his feet in hard and refuses to bend and move. Hence the January 6th insurrection attempt upon him losing the presidency. Joe CAN be pressured and bullied and convinced to change course with enough civilian hate. Trump doubles down.

I get the bullshit of claiming anti-Biden = anti-LGBTQIA+ is the point of the post, but it's such a bad faith shaming tactic. (Also, if you ARE one of those people simply countering with "but the queer community!" Please stop. I get it. But that feels like a bad faith argument as well.)

I'm sorry. Suck it up. Support Palestine elsewhere. The world needs you to vote blue in November.

Not "anyone but Trump" because 3rd party votes splits up the anti-Trump votes, and that's how he won last time.

We HAVE to stick together and vote for Biden. It SUUUUUCKS and feels like we're betraying those he and his administration has hurt and helped slaughter, but WE HAVE NO CHOICE!

Vote blue. Then rain down your hatred again after he wins. We CAN sway Biden with enough pressure. We CANNOT sway Trump.

Look, I think the main point is that Trump has actually spoken up about the conflict and he thinks that Israel bombing Gaza is cool, actually, and seems to believe that they should do more of it.

So if two political parties have the same view on an issue, politics as it currently stands means you have to look at other issues as deciding factors. And yes, because of how politics is set up, voting third party is effectively a vote for the right. It sucks. But the answer is "try to figure out how to change the entire electoral system from the ground up", not "vote third party / don't vote / spoil your ballot, an act which will increase the odds that the winner is the guy who called for a fucking coup when he lost and would probably be very happy if he could stay leader for life and might see to it that this election is the last one you'll ever see".

Push Biden about Palestine, yes. But remember that Trump probably just wants Israel to all out nuke Gaza, and vote accordingly.

  • I'd prefer that ya didn't.
  • This is not ideal.

Marlene Dietrich is detained at a train station in Paris in 1933 for violating the ban on women wearing trousers.

As with all german actors in the 30's, you always gotta check the World War II section of their Wikipedia page. Well im happy to report that Marlene Dietrich was in open opposition to the Nazi regime, and in 1937 donated her entire salary for a film (over 9 million dollars in todays money) to helping Jewish refugees :)

hi trans people i hope you get to live. i hope you get to laugh so fucking loud and revel in how the wind blows through your hair and i hope you get to dress the way you like and i hope you get complimented on it. i hope you get to kiss someone or hug someone or hold hands with someone or be told how wonderful you are. i hope you get to dance to weird music and i hope you go swimming with no concerns other than how much sunscreen to put on and i hope you sing bad karaoke with your friends. i hope a kid spots you from across the road and realizes they don't have to live one way forever. i hope we all live

trans people i hope you get to eat some really good food and gasp at the animals and insects you see every day i hope you pick up a new hobby and it turns out to be pretty fun i hope you try on that coat and it makes you feel confident. i hope you get to tell people your name and i hope they tell you how cool it is i hope you get to rest i hope you watch a movie and fall over laughing. i hope you rejoice in living because you deserve to be alive and you deserve to have a joyous life

It's amazing how many garbage takes could be avoided with a single Google search.

There are tons of amazing sculptors still working today.

I mean, has the internet already forgotten the hammerhead shark made out of hammerheads?
