I’m not kidding when I say that every single one of you who didn’t vote in 2016 or voted for some stupid third party candidate are just as responsible for today as those who voted Trump, and you can all suck my fucking dick forever. Go to hell and I hope you burn.
Except that the majority of Trump voters were white people across every voter group. All of the 3rd party voters in the country couldn’t out vote the majority (especially with the Electoral college), especially when democrats spent most of their time trying to appeal to them, and made no real effort (outside of grassroots efforts) to protect the poor and non white voters who make up their main voter base. If you want to hold people responsible you can complain about non voters and 3rd party voters (as long as you also acknowledge how gutting the VRA had a role in this), but you also have to come after Dems for abandoning their base, underestimating Trump’s ability to use identity politics, and you have to come after white voters for falling for “Southern Strategy 3.0”.
im so fucking sick of people blaming 3rd party voters! ffs
either admit that voting should be about picking the person who best represents your personal interests, or admit that voting is only beneficial when the votes go the way YOU think they should.
FUCK YOU. I don’t give a fuck what you think voting “should be.” There is no fucking “should be,” you absolute twerpfaced asshole. There is what voting is, which is doing your goddamn motherfucking duty as a fucking citizen of this country—a duty that others in this country can’t fulfill—and pick one of the two people who will win the election, rather than whatever bullshit unicorn you’ve decided is more in line with your pet causes. Because while you’re making a fucking statement or whatever with your inane third party vote, the guy who you know is worse, the guy who has done irreperable harm to our country, our citizens, and the world in a record year and a half, won the election.
And no, “the Dems” (whatever the fuck you think that means, I guess just “old ladies I think are ugly and kinda like my mom”) did not abandon “the base” (which is not, contrary to what you think, you and your best pal Noah who would’ve totes voted for that bitch I mean Hillary except she just abandoned you and your vewy pwecious ideals). The base, which is Black women, turned out. They showed up. It was you who pouted and stomped your feet and couldn’t get off your fucking entitled asses because something you’d read in Jacobin convinced you Hillary owned slaves or was friends with a KKK leader or whatever bullshit you fed to yourselves, all to give yourselves cover for fucking up an election that has cost us… I don’t really know what. Fifty years of progress, give or take? But sure, it’s your mom’s fault–I mean the Dems’ fault.
And if you want to come at me with “voting is only beneficial when the votes go the way YOU think they should”—yeah you’re fucking right that I don’t think the votes should have gone the way they did. Are you seriously trying to tell me that this is a lesson I should internalize? Assholes, I turned up. I voted. I helped my dad vote. I volunteered and donated and did my best to get the best candidate elected. You didn’t do anything; in fact you discouraged others from voting because that bitch who kinda reminds you of your mom or that mean manager you hate didn’t lick your ass quite hard enough during the elections. I mean, for all you know maybe she did—it’s not like you dicknozzles ever actually read any of her policy papers or listened to her speeches. You just kept checking The Hill for whatever latest dirt there was on her emails. And now you want fucking credit, for having such high and lofty ideals that you couldn’t lift a fucking finger to prevent all of this?
This is why I’m angrier at you than I am at the Trumpists. This blatant lying, right here, that you have any kind of actual principles other than “I don’t want to vote for that icky lady.” You didn’t vote third party out of any conviction. You voted third party, or didn’t vote at all, because you don’t care about any of the shit you pretended to care about here on tumblr.com.
The Trump voters are hateful, vile, bigoted shitstains who are already salivating at the overturn of Roe. But they were honest about what they wanted. They said “I want to hurt Black and Brown folks, and gays, and uppity women, and Muslims, and everyone else who isn’t exactly like me.” You guys told us over and over again that you were better than us because you wanted economic justice, you wanted free college and no corporate PACs and universal healthcare. And then you did absolutely nothing to bring it about. You couldn’t even be bothered to the one candidate who would have listened to you once she was in office (because newsflash you moosenuggets, she would have had to, as you should have known if you’d listened for ten goddamn minutes, because she would’ve been banking on getting the House and Senate back in 2018 and to do that she would have had to go hard left, DUH, HOW DID THAT NOT MAKE IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING SKULLS).
No, you decided that looking personally pure was worth the suffering of millions of people. You lied about every one of your goals, because you ensured that none of that shit will ever happen in your lifetime now. None of it. Our generation is fucked, and yours, and your kids’ generation. And it’s your fault as much as the Trumpists—but they didn’t lie to my face about what they wanted.
