Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Politicians absolutely have a responsibility to exercise their positions appropriately just like any other job. The problem is we've all forgotten this and default to the "well vote them out" excuse to excuse some blantly shitty behaviour that nobody else would ever get away with in a regular job.
Just look at how Trump is still bizarrely in the running to become US president again for just how far we've let them push it. It's a disgrace.
