i genuinely don’t believe there are trump supporters who are good people. if you knowingly support someone who, as president, would make life less safe for women, lgbt+ people, disabled people, people of colour and poor people, you’re not a good person.
To all the people living in Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, and Ohio, who didn’t vote today because you couldn’t “in good consciousness choose between these two candidates.” If you’re watching your states turn red right now and your first thought was “Oh crap! Trump might actually win.”
Congratulations, looks like you could choose between them.
among all the hate posts about states like Florida and Texas I just wanna say I really hope for the safety of all nonwhite populations that happen to live in those states. I think we are too easily forgetting that a state is not a singular entity and that there are many people who are probably very afraid that also live in those states and have to actually live around the people who actively voted for someone that wants to take their rights away
no offense but fuck all of the third party voters who thought it was a great idea to divide up the vote and throw a tantrum because their favorite didn’t make it to the final election.
okay no, you know what?
full offense to all of you who voted for the third party, especially those in the swing states. i don’t know and don’t care what point you’re trying to prove by voting a political party that you’re damn sure isn’t going to win.
If Donald Trump actually wins the election this year, then I’m blaming every single one of you right along with the trump supporters because you let this happen.
As I am sure any cat owner will be able to tell you, someone else putting you in a box is entirely different from getting into a box yourself.
This is the most brilliant, concise, cute, and disarming response to the “but laaaaaaaabels are baaaaaaad” argument that gets used against people trying to self-identify as something as a way of making sure their boundaries are understood and respected.
The best part of this terrible tweet is definitely how it implies some people have more than four biological grandparents.
The second best part is that this excludes the entire Trump family.
The third best part is that she plagiarized this test from Hitler (except it was four non-Jewish grandparents)
and by “third best” I mean “actual worst” holy shit
she was never not awful but she’s on an entirely new level this election
The funniest part? This would actually privilege Indigenous and POC voters. Specifically Black & Latino since you know..we have been here 6,7, & in some cases 8 generations…
Women are leaving their “I Voted” stickers on suffragist Susan B. Anthony’s tombstone in Rochester, New York. But Evette Dionne, a senior editor atRevelist, is asking them to save some of these stickers for Ida B. Wells and other black women who paved the way for women’s rights.
Ida B. Wells was an African-American journalist and pioneering intersectional feminist, who fought for women’s right to vote and against the lynching of black men. Susan B. Anthony was an undeniable leader for white suffragettes, but also had a real history of racism.
me in a dark forest hammering on the door of Nate Silver’s chicken-legged witch hut: WHERE ARE THE RESULTS
Nate Silver, through a chink in the door: patience, traveler! even the East Coast polls are not yet closed. shall i whisper to thee of the congressional races
me, hurling stones at him: DAMN THY TRIVIAL CHATTER, TINY WARLOCK!!!!!!! COME OUT AND TELL ME WHO FUCKING WINS
i cannot get over the magnitude of obama, a black man and the president of the united states, singing a prince song to a black child dressed up as prince *at the fucking white house*. i can’t.
sure, money can’t buy you “happiness” but it can buy you a sense of financial security, remove the worry of not being able to feed yourself, remove the fear of losing your house, remove the discomfort of not being able to socialize because you don’t have the money to go out, and also it can buy you the new pokemon game and that’s pretty fucking close
