Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:

The only thing worse than not voting is voting for a third party.
Edit: against my better judgment, I refrained from adding a /s to the above comment. I don't think voting 3rd party is a lost vote at all and they've been instrumental in transforming the political conversation. I honestly don't know why I didn't include the /s.

That logic is pretty shaky, you can say something roughly the same about voting. How can you distinguish a reluctant tactical vote from an endorsement of the current democratic model? I'm not even making that argument, I think voting is probably sensible. But this is a pretty bad argument.
Yep.
The only true way to waste your vote is to not use it.
If you want to protest, spoil your ballot.
Edit: presumably I'm being downvoted by people that think their "stay at home" protest won't just be viewed as apathy or nonchalance
