Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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.

That's because you have the privilege of living in a blue state and our votes going towards an electoral college rather than popular vote in most cases. I voted Green Party before seeing her in the Russian op photo. National doesn't matter as much as local votes do

Exactly if you live in a non-swing state like me that is either solid red or blue and does not change then vote third party. If you live in a swing state then vote for the lesser of two evils.

It's really simple

You should open with this

If you live in a red state vote blue so that there's that tiny 1%chance that enough people are pissed off that blue wins by a few votes

I mean you could, but even if you're successful, you end up in the same situation we are in now where we're deciding between the lesser of two evils every election.

If you follow my plan instead, over time, third parties will gain more support allowing us to pick something other than the lesser of two evils.

Do you get what I'm saying?

They are willfully not following you.
