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.

Any meaningful change can only occur outside the standardized channels.

So vote democrat if you want to have any chance of bettering circumstances, at all.

What's hard to understand? Maintain the current level of badness to not reach worse levels before meaningful change can be achieved.

"I want to change the way voting works" only brings positive change in a future where voting is still a thing.

I don't see how you expect to get democrats to support voting reform when it goes against their interests and you support them whether they do it or not. That's the fundamental problem with what you're saying, you recognize that the current system is dysfunctional, but you're expecting that system to function well enough to enact the changes necessary to make it functional.

You're saying you want the people in charge to give up the systems they depend on to maintain their own power, to act in a way that very directly goes against their own interests, and I don't see what your plan is exactly to force them to do that, beyond asking nicely while giving them full unconditional support.
