Remember: we are all REAL people with REAL feelings/ thoughts/ experiences and we should all be treated with kindness and civility! I feel like I shouldn’t have to say that.

I'm not gonna tell you how to vote, BUT...

Here are some truths about the upcoming United States election.

Either Trump or Biden will win.

Our political system is designed around ensuring that either the Democrat or the Republican win. There is no "but if everyone rallies around a third party candidate..." argument, because...

Grassroots campaigns can't work. There are areas of the country that don't have internet or television. Congress just allowed the Affordable Connectivity Program to lapse, denying internet to even more people. There is literally no way for some candidates to get their message to huge parts of the country.

The Republican and Democrat candidates are backed by huge donor machines that enable them to tour a campaign trail. Independent candidates do not have this luxury.

Our country still uses a First Past the Post (FPTP) voting system, which is specifically designed to support only two candidates.

Our country uses an electoral (all or none) system, which is why you hear that voting for a third party candidate "takes votes away" from one of the major party candidates. For example, if Trump gets 48,999 votes, Biden gets 50,000 votes, and a third party candidate gets one single vote, Biden takes all the electoral votes in the state. All of them.

I really hope you make your peace with this now. Please, vote how you want, but with one candidate saying he will essentially outlaw transgender people, I can't imagine NOT voting for the only other candidate who can possibly win. Right now the polls are 50/50, which is absolutely insane to me.

In my experience, it's usually younger people who talk about either voting their conscience, or not voting at all to "send a message." I assure you, not voting doesn't send a message to the candidate who loses. Your message is only received by the millions of Americans who will suffer as a result.

I don't want to argue. I have no desire to fight with anyone over this anymore. And if you want to ask me "so I have to choose between two killers?" as a gotcha, then I'm sorry to say... The answer is yes. Those are the choices we've been given. And because the United States is no longer a true democratic republic, there's not a whole lot we can do to change that right now.

good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

@handymanbill's au really has me by the throat rn and i really wanted to test out a new brush set i got. decided to give him a lil cap because the top hat wouldn't cooperate with me tonight

Currently working on this little fusion custom for myself rn!! I'm laying out the Raichu parts first because that's what I struggle with a lot.

It'll end up being a Whimsicott and Raichu fusion tho! 👀

there are so many new people here and I am dearly grateful to see all of you! I try to not advertise myself too much, but at the end of the day creating art very much is my full-time work.

and so: if you are new here (or not new here, even), I have a Patreon where the lowest tier is just $2 a month, and a bigger tip jar at $5 a month. if you enjoy the work I do, I ask you to consider hopping on to see what I’m up to and to help me keep doing this as my work. 🫶
