Vote 2024 - Blog Posts

That is all kinds of wrong

As someone who lost their father to cancer I feel this is very important to share. Please vote in 2024, and vote for those who care more about the people rather than bullshit politics.

(I don’t typically talk politics or world affairs but this hit me hard.)

Please vote blue so i don’t have to leave the US, i don’t wanna leave my family but i have to so i can stay safe

My Thoughts on the 2024 Election Results…

How? How could he win again?!

A putrid, vile, decrepit man with no right to wield the power he has been given. A man so lacking in intelligence that he can barely form coherent sentences. A man who would see our democracy fall to ash and ruin instead of conceding to defeat. A man who insighted violence upon our nation's capital so that he might cling to his fleeting power.

How does such a man take the seat at the head of our nation once more, over an impeccably intelligent, well-spoken woman?

How?!

The outcome of this election feels like the punchline to a bad comedy. The looming fact that it is now not a matter of if my rights to live, and love freely and openly will be taken from me, but a matter of when. Rights that have been so vehemently fought for throughout decades of activism and protest, now will be dissolved before I have ever had the chance to exercise them. Where my heart not so blackened by despair, I could almost laugh at the cruel comedy of it all.

It doesn't feel real. It feels like a horrible dream. A terrible reoccurring dream that I cannot wake from. It doesn't make sense. How did he so handily win when he was so widely disliked? How did he win the popular vote? How did he win, when it was almost a universal sentiment that we needed someone younger in the Oval Office? Was I truly in such an air-tight leftist echo chamber that I couldn't fathom this outcome? Was I truly this blind to how far right our country had fallen? I am not one to fall for conspiracy easily, but it feels like there was some sort of outside influence or some underhanded business. How do we have a record-breaking voter turnout and voting lines longer than we have seen in decades... and yet nearly 18 million fewer total votes than in 2020?

Do men truly so vehemently hate women that they would rather sign the death warrant on our democracy than see a woman take the office of President?

Was the economy truly such a grand issue? Was his "concept of a plan" really so convincing? If you think a man, with 34 felony convictions, and at least 6 corporate bankruptcies, is going to fix our economy you are irreparably stupid. Was the false promise of lower gas prices so enticing that you would sign our country over to tyranny? All these economic promises are naught but illusions, and deceptions, lies told by a vile man who will do anything to maintain his chokehold on power.

And spare me the empty, condescending platitudes that masquerade as hope, for they offer no solace. The unbearable anger and despair that has come to bear upon my shoulders feels as if it could crush me under its weight. Each moment that drags on feels like an eternity, and the thought of waking to see the dawn of another day feels like an improbable miracle. Should I find the strength to draw breath as the sun rises tomorrow, it would be a testament to resilience against these shades that haunt this waking nightmare that has become our reality.

I'm sorry for disappearing, I had a personal medical emergency. But I'm back, but probably not for long, as I was a USA citizen, and must flee to another country because that bigoted cheeto will be elected soon. I am prayer from the bottom of my dead atheistic heart that more people can run as well. Unfortunately I'm a minor (not revealing my age but only slightly under 18) and this mean I'll be running away from home, which I still bad about doing even if my gaurdians are Republicans. Please donate to others and help your fellow human. If I'm able to set a bank account without the help of them I will find my way. And to those in my situation, don't give up, help will come, the world is still good.

As a bitch with an inherently political identity imma be voting for Kamala Harris this election season.

Additionally 468 motherfucking house seats are up for elections so showing up for that is also helpful.

I understand how hopeless the political climate can feel, and how there have been systems put in place that prevent marginalized people from voting but I urge you try to get out and vote.

P.S. I’m very happy Biden dropped out as I felt genuine dread over the idea of voting for him. The fact that so many politicians are so genuinely shitty sucks and I understand feeling trapped and powerless like even if you vote it won’t do anything but please I think we should at least try.
