"nothing changes if you don't vote"

"republicans vote"

They also do active work towards their political goals that go further than just screeching at people to vote. Like running for office so people can vote.

I can not express how much of Every election Ever is not voters fault, but the fault of every capable liberal and leftist who sits around telling us to vote/read theory but never actually uses their privilege to do any active part of dismantling racism or anything else they pretend to care about, including the actual bare minimum of getting blue votes which isnt voting, but running for office so people can vote blue.

Non-voters aren't the problem. The people to blame are the same fucking people that are always to blame throughout all of history. People who see awful things happening around them and still sit around doing nothing but feeling guilt and fear they might be treated the same way. So they choose to follow the fucked up laws and status quo of a government that doesn't give a shit about them, meanwhile finding ways to blame the Actual victims of the government so they can feel better about protecting themselves instead.

"vote"

A fairy tale for liberals who don't wanna confront the reality that they don't have any power over their lives.

My executively dysfunctional, depressive, disabled, unstable ass sure doesn't. Couldn't run for office even if I wanted to. Relying on EBT and racist federal workers. Relying on others to run for office with my best interest in mind. I rely on on this government and it's people to take care of me and people like me but look where that got me. You think that was my choice? That I voted for this life? Did you vote for me to struggle like this?

No, you didn't.

But I am. Lots of people are. Because voting doesn't work. Because our problems are systematic and the things influencing us are systematic. They aren't things you vote for or would be ever put up for a vote in the first place. You can't vote blue without a Democrat that isn't on your ballot, for example. And lots of us can't fix things ourselves through normal political means like running for office cuz every branch of the US is inaccessible to us in a very racist, queerphobic, ableist, and classist way.

Voting isn't enough, it never was. It's not even the bare minimum. The bare minimum is doing something. Protest, burn something down, participate in mutual aid, run for office yourself, become a journalist that's Honest and unbought. But just saying "yeah I like this one" and coloring in some boxes every 2-4 years isn't fucking it. It never was. And thinking otherwise is exactly why I'm looking at ballot with no fucking democrats, progressives, or leftists on it.

I'm fucking begging you all to do more than vote and scream at everyone else to vote. Begging. Please fucking do more than that. And don't "we are" me because I'm looking at a ballot in one of the most progressive states in the country and objectively no you're fucking not.

༻`` 9 Feb 24 — Friday

100 days of productivity 40/100

Today was my last day before mid term break!!! I've got a lot of homework and notes to do plus coursework bit I'm quite excited to start it.

Today was a half day and I went to town with some friends for lunch (had some bagels) which was really fun and I came back to school to help with an A Level options evening which was also surprisingly fun.

I started reading over a chemistry textbook today and read a bit of my book. I did feel overwhelmed with a situation that will happen in the future but for now I'm chosing to worry about that later, and am focusing on getting back some structure, discipline and good habits.

Oh and also!! I got an A in my chemistry class test!!!! My other class tests for math and physics were C's and D's (coming from someone who got A's and A*'s in her A Levels) so this was really relieving and gave me hope for my studies.

I love minecraft 🏕. Recently I started listening to minecraft playlists with all the soundtracks and sometimes ambient mc noise. It being me SO many memories and makes me happy every time! My fav tune is Sweden 🎶 And I just LOVE the way minecraft music was created: "It's as honorable as it is interesting" -C418

I'm currently on my midterm break and I'm so glad for it. I want to take this week to sort myself out a bit and start preparing for my tracking mocks. With a great start of cleaning my room (surprised I'm already enjoying it so much), this is my week's To Do:

Start revision for Math and Geography

Complete notes to summarise RE

Finish cleaning

do Art hw

do Technology hw

Finish reading The Scorch Trials

It also helps to be excited abt getting icecream with my besties on Valentine's ❤

Long catch up, but anyway, I want to catch some meteor showers 🌠 this year too! The last year's Perseid's was just amazing

You will never hear me support a Republican in my life, but I hope with my entire soul that Lisa Murkowski wins the Alaskan senate race. She was one of the only Republicans who actually voted to convict Trump, and she was recently 1 of 12 Republicans who voted to break the filibuster on the interracial and same-sex marriage bill going through congress. Her opponent is an extremist Trump thumper, through and through. If Alaska’s gonna be red no matter what, then the least I can hope for is that it’s a sane shade of it.

ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUMP & BIDEN IS ..... YOUR BULLSHIT IS SERVED WITH GASLIGHTING, PANDERING & A FAKE GRIN ... INSTEAD OF AN INSUFFERABLE, INCOHERENT RANT. I’m tired of the status quo maintaining this charade... y’all don’t care about who’s really suffering... as long as it’s not you.

"Stop gaslighting us! Stop telling us to go vote and get out in the streets. We've been voting. We've been in the streets. This is gaslighting! We cannot make change in the same system that harmed us. That is an abuse cycle! Stop!"

(x)

It's actually the 4th and last phase of the abuse cycle before it repeats.

The next step will be Tension. The unrest before violence is committed again.

Do you already feel the pressure and anger of Democrats? Have you already seen them warning you about impending doom if you don't vote blue? You notice how they're setting the stage to justify whatever disappointments and violence happens after the coming elections?

Do not forget this is the same party that promised to address police violence, abolish student debt, codify Roe v Wade into federal law, and stand with natives, and then did the total opposite.

The system itself, regardless of party affiliation still enables violence such as death, sickness, forced births, kidnapping, forced sterilizations, pain compliance, and slavery against some of the most oppressed groups in the country. Legally.

So in 2022 do not be gaslit into thinking voting blue is enough to save your rights when the judicial system itself is what allows them to be violated and when a democratic president could not stop them from being entirely removed.

We need to change the system, not just the color of it's mask. And to change the system we must be a threat to it, not active participants.
