Vote Blue, Vote Democrat! 💙🇺🇲
this is so so sad….and also another reminder that the violent “jokes” people make about swifties are fucked up, and not okay. these threats disguised as harmless bullying translate into the real world, and cause real dangers and violence and DEATHS! just because it’s such a trend to hate taylor swift, and you think swifties are annoying, doesn’t make it okay to threaten them. because do you see now? it’s not just “jokes”. it’s misogyny, it’s normalized violence against women, and it encourages people to actually carry out their stupid “jokes”. Do you see what happens when you say things like “shoot a swiftie” or “all swifties should be exterminated”? THIS is what happens; real life violence and danger.
Let me put this on the right blog. This quote I saw on r/politics in response to the latest horrible thing that JD Vance said. (or the article about women posting online asking if there is a way to hide their vote from their husband, which was awful) A person posted the first part, and then someone followed it with the second. I figured it was an image some woman/women needed to see. I hope women consider their own interests.
The image is from the Library of Congress collection. I also considered using this on the American Gothic image, but I wanted to see some actual women. Feel free to adapt it for broader reach.
I love Democratic messaging (Kamala’s version)
5 sexiest things a woman could wear

Super cool sword on her back
Friendly reminder that VP Harris officiated the marriage of a gay couple in 2004, before a generation of voters was even born
She then opposed Proposition 8
This is someone who has consistently fought for the legal rights of the lgbt population, and she's running against a party that actively plans to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges
VOTE!! FUCKING VOTE!!! DO YOU PEOPLE SEE THIS!??! THIS COULD BE OUR REALITY IF YOU PEOPLE GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are 8 years of new voters since Trump took the White House in 2016. That is the generation that will change the world.
Find them. Inspire them. Tell them their vote matters and is important.
