I want to say I am shocked at the vote against a ceasefire but the UK Government have shown time and time again their lack of humanity.
You can see if your MP voted in favour of a ceasefire or not here ⬆️
I’m so ashamed by my country. I’m disgusted.

The fact that uncommitted/ceasefire as a vote movement for the primary got over 9% and i checked past dem pres primaries here during 2012-2020 and blank/undecided/etc gets nowhere close before this year? That's pretty rad.
However absolutely shady that they can tell us like how many votes Harambe got but the "other" vote this year isnt broken down to show ceasefire as a specific option

i dont post on here a ton but i gotta say the growing attitude on tumblr that voting in the US is somehow useless is really concerning.
just recently i saw this post that was basically making fun of people saying that voting was the way to change the system, and that's just.. wrong? like seriously, how do you think roe v. wade got overturned? its because despite everything, republicans are smart voters and now how to play the long game.
but leftists as of late have lost that quality i feel. instead of advocating for people to vote, they advocate for some "revolution" they think will solve everything. among the people in the post mentioned earlier being glorified as revolutionaries were mao zedong and stalin, and when asked why the poster was glorifying these horrific figures, they said, "yes. Mao freed my family and stalin defeated the fascists. Get with the program sugar"
do you notice anything about that? do you notice how it sounds like the way a child describes the world? "stalin defeated the fascists" like he's some hero who defeated the evil horde of thieves? the way things like the red guard, struggle sessions, all of that, are completely ignored on the side of Mao? how this person, despite having a trans flag in their pfp, is ignoring how the utterly homophobic state of the Chinese government at present is the fault of Mao? how they ignore horrific things such as the Gulag on side of Stalin? this person cannot think, and the only way they believe that the world can move forward is a revolution, and revolution's don't work when the people advocating for them do nothing.
maybe one could argue that this was just a one off type of thing, and that all of the thousands of people liking and reblogging this post are just weirdos. but whether or not thats true, this growing sentiment of praying to a revolution that will never come is indeed growing. and its not just like these people stay in their lane, they actively encourage and probably will cause people to not vote.
so i want to remind everybody. elections are not a moral choice. joe biden is complicit and actively funding a genocide, but not voting for him, third party or not (if you still think third parties are viable please look into the history behind them), will make it more likely that trump will win, and that things in palestine and other things that joe biden has failed in will get 1000x worse. candidates in elections are a bus stop to the real goal, and treating them as such is smart voting, republicans proved this with the overturning of roe v. wade.
please do not be selfish. this last bit may seem out of nowhere, but i need to say this. this type of thinking is selfish. it is selfish and almost impossible to detect as such for the people who believe in it. if you are the type of person who believes in this style of thinking, you have created a completely arbitrary moral code, and care more about your conscience than real political change. you believe yourself to have completely good morals that are universally good, and for the consequences of following these morals, you don't consider the real change that will occur, just your conscience and peace of mind. as for what happens because of that moral code, you will always find a way around looking inwards to how you contributed.
this election season may be the most important yet, please learn to take the practical route instead of the "pure" route.

Watched the UN Security Council votes earlier and English failed me. Didn't even realise I started cursing in my mother tongue until my coworker asked me what happened.
If I feel this way I honestly can't imagine what Palestinians everywhere, but especially in Gaza, are feeling. The anger, the frustration, the despair...while the leaders of the 'free world' continue to facilitate these atrocities.
Can't stop, won't stop, calling for a ceasefire. CEASEFIRE NOW❗Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Thank you for sending this! Folks, this is very quick and easy to do -please vote in favor of a ceasefire with the information above so that the Bakersfield City Council (in California, US) hears your voice. And yes, as always -free Palestine.

Vote already happened and passed but many of us probably don’t completely understand what that means here’s a start

If genocide joe loses the 2024 election don't cry about the people who understandably will not vote. I dont want trump but it'll be his own fault if he loses. If you still believe in the 2 party system you need to grow up
If you still believe that your own righteous fury is worth more than people's lives, then you also need to grow up. If a compromise will save lives, I'll compromise. I won't let people die holding out for a perfect solution that will never come.

Please look into Claudia De la Cruz! She's a 2024 USA presidential candidate with the Party for Socialism and Liberation and she is actively trying to help Palestine and to improve conditions for working class people. If you like her, please help spread her name!
Hi! I was actually planning on voting for De la Cruz in the election! But you’re right more people need to spread the word about her. I think the reason a lot of people still want to vote for Biden is because they don’t want to vote for Trump, and don’t realize there’s another option.
Yes it’s an uphill battle, but nothing is going to change by playing into the same lesser-of-two-evils two-party system that has always screwed us over.
Claudia De la Cruz for 2024 and Free Palestine! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

british parliament doing what it does best by finally putting an issue to a vote that is quite literally about tens of thousands of innocent civilians being killed indiscriminately, but then somehow turning the entire thing into a spectacle about themselves and who does politics the best
