Spoilt votes - post them here so that the parties/papers can see them

@90schic

Stop posting the questions that have already been asked and answered on the thread a million fucking times. I'm sure you're able to read, yes? And not so lazy that you expect people to do your work for you?

Its possible that you believe you will never be in prison or a psychiatric ward, or a DV shelter, so don't think they or the women that need them matter as much as far more important, more 'properly political' things.

Funny how the OP was just about going along and spoiling your paper. Nothing about the reasons why or what it would mean. Just like it’s was something fun to do

It's only funny when you are totally unaware of the context and background to the thread. This board has been discussing the election for many weeks; organising actions; organising campaigns; and so on.....

*god all these scoldy people
it's total non thinking virtue signalling

Like the bloody cervical smear police.

group of highly intelligent, hugely informed women

Your comments are duly noted. Read the thread.

Someone likes the sound of their own voice. So much they have to say the same thing twice.

I spoilt my vote and am glad that I did it. I've never done it before and hope that I won't have to again.

Writing childish shit on a ballot card. Don’t waste people’s time like? If you don’t want to vote then don’t

Look, here's another one......see what I mean?

Someone has to shift through your bollucks to get to the actual votes. You know... the ones deciding the fate of the country?

I haven’t told anyone how to vote I have just disagreed with spoiling papers. I haven’t disagreed with why people have done it

It was your tone, and your suggestions that people were being " idiots" and so on......it was provocative. Obviously you have not frequented threads on this board before. You saw on pop up somewhere about the election - and jumped in. Easy to do. But also easy to come in far too heavy handed and without awareness of context.

This board is regularly trolled, and when a new poster's first post is to suggest you are cowardly and idiotic, it tends not to go down too well.

People also put in a lot of time to trying to explain......

Writing childish shit on a ballot card. Don’t waste people’s time like? If you don’t want to vote then don’t

But spoiling does NOTHING. Your not making a stand... your making a mockery of something people fought and died for.... it’s like the least feminist thing you could of done. It’s just plain stupid. Sorry but it is.

90 rtft, don’t expect us to spoon feed it to you, do your own work.

Hope boo hoo, we are just big meany nastys aren’t we. No one swore at you, saying people can fuck off if they want to moan at us for our vote is not swearing at you. Nobody will hand you tissues here. The thread says it’s for people spoiling votes. No one has encouraged anyone to spoil, no one has berated others for not spoiling, and we have all welcomed anyone genuinely discussing why they aren’t or being open about how they are on the fence. We just don’t gaf about those trying to manipulate us by appealing to our female socialisation to be nice and please others and put everyone else above our own self interests. Which is really not surprising in a feminist chat board. Go gas light some where else, go start your own thread or join a hundred other ones that are about who you are voting for. Do so out with feminist chat and you have a decent chance some will fall for your manipulation.

And really, people can swear all they fucking like in posts, it’s not censored here because we are not babies. Swearing in posts isn’t swearing at you unless it’s clearly directed towards you, mostly it’s just spewing out frustration. I’m sure you are actually capable of deciphering the difference but if not just to help you out, me saying fuckety fucking fucknut is just swearing, not swearing at you, so no need to cry that the meany nasty women won’t bend over backwards to hold your hand.

What is feminist about spoiling your vote? Genuinely confused confused didn’t women fight and die for the vote. Makes me sad thinking you would throw it away. Surely there must be something you like about ONE party. You might as well spit in the suffragettes faces

A lot of us have already put in a lot of leg work into explaining the issues.....There are multiple threads on the women's rights board. Read them, and then you'll understand what the issues are.

it was a continuation of a long conversation which has been going on on this board for at least 18 months Hopeforthemany

people here aren't obliged to slow down so you can catch up

you can of course join the conversation midway through in a thoroughly uninformed manner, but you will come across, well, as you have done, and people will pick you up on that

Perhaps there are other threads discussing spoiling votes that we've discussed things on previously....

Funny how the OP was just about going along and spoiling your paper. Nothing about the reasons why or what it would mean. Just like it’s was something fun to do.

If this whole reason why had been more widely spread before today maybe more people would have understood and done the same.

although 'spitting in the suffragette's faces' did give me a smile, which was nice

It's classic DARVO tbh.

god all these scoldy people.

it's total non thinking virtue signalling

voting = good

therefore i must scold anyone who has decided not to vote, it will make me a superior person, without having to do any actual thinking. win!

I have complaints to make too; proximity being one, accessibility another, staffing the third. If all that had gone well I might (admittedly a very slim chance!) have not been pissed off at the whole thing and decided to spoil! 😡

I think 90s is just disappointed we didn't vote for Labour.
Smacks of Momentum. Again.

@90schic
I felt unable to vote Con because they aren't able to form a strong parliament at the moment
I felt unable to vote Labour as they seem to have no grasp on basic economics currently
I felt unable to vote LibDem due to basic understanding of biology
I felt unable to vote Green as they seem to want to make everyone happy but without any substance behind claims

So spoiling felt like my only option.

@PJsatMidday please (other than my username) find a reference when I have referred to “my party” or tried to get anyone to vote for them............

The OP started this with spoiling papers and putting photos up. All some people have done is disagree. I haven’t called individuals names I have just pointed out some people’s comments have been awful, for example telling people to fuck off. But I assume that’s ok as that poster agreed with you.
