Hear hear! Have spent my entire voting life living in NY. Ill support republican or democratic depending on candidates. However, at the poles, I vote 3rd party every fucking time for president. We dont get fucking primaries, the only election where NY went red was the fucking Reagan landslide over whatshisname who only won the districts for his hometown and congressional district. The point being, use every platform available to vote for what you believe in. We'll never see a 3rd party candidate take NY but if every ygear if that 3rd party pool gets bigger and bigger, I know it may not be much, but it means my vote is vindicated and not wasted like it would be if i just voted with the crowd or didnt vote at all.

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.
