Literally why would you ever go for Bernie when Elizabeth Warren is RIGHT there
A vote for Sanders is a vote for Trump. All he can hope to do is spoil the Dem’s chances.
VOTE BERNIE IF YOU WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF TRUMP
FUCK THAT NOISE HELL NO.
We are not doing this again.
Lobby hard for your choice in the primaries, but do not insult the other options.
I like Warren a lot more than Sanders. I like Klobuchar and Harris better than either of them. Right now, Gillibrand is my top choice.
BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN NOVEMBER, whoever that turns out to be.
And since I want to be able to get behind them, I want to know what their good points are. I want to know what I can expect them to do, and - this important - what issues aren’t on their top priority list, so I can let them know what matters to me.
All of them are smart, decent people. All of them want a better country, a better world. All of them would, on their worst day, be better than Trump at his best, assuming he has something a sane person could call “best.”
No infighting this time. No circular firing squads. Do not insult, denigrate, discourage, or bully people who are supporting the candidates you dislike. WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THIS.
Before the primaries, figure out who is the best representative for your interests, and promote the hell out of them. Encourage people to vote. Get people registered. Tell everyone why you like this one better than that one - based on policies and history, not “he’s a lying scumbag” or “she caters to corporate greed.”
None of them is perfect. ALL OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE - do not help the Republicans (and the Russians!) suppress progressive voters by badmouthing other people’s choices.
I don’t want Sanders. I think he’s too old (and so is Warren) and we need people whose understanding of business and social dynamics are based on recent trends. I think Sanders is too caught up in social class as the only real axis of oppression; I don’t think he understands intersectionality. I worry that he favors gun rights more than is safe.
I’m not voting for him in the primaries. But if he gets the nomination, HE HAS MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER. And not in a “ugh, holding my nose and voting against Trump” way - he wants medical care for everyone; he wants college to be available to all; he wants strong unions and worker support. I can get behind those policy plans.
No litmus tests this time. No single issue that convinces people to stay home in November 2020. Pick one you like, or pick a few that you’re deciding between - but don’t convince yourself that any of them are evil incarnate and must be stopped at all costs.
Because we have that. And Republicans know damn well that they only win elections by splitting and suppressing votes for Democrats - so they’ll be hyping “this candidate is too terrible to vote for!!! Just stay home!” for the next year and a half.
FUCKING THIS.
We do not shoot down any decent, viable candidate this time.
Listen, if the Democratic candidate winds up being a dead lizard in a broken-down Radio Flyer wagon, I will vote for them, because a dead lizard would be better for this country than the utterly disgusting, morally vacant person that currently holds the office.
And until then? I’m going to assume that people shit-stirring to get people to turn on Dem candidates are actually furthering a Republican agenda, because that’s what it amounts to.
Since former Clinton aides and Sanders aides have not read the FUCKING MEMO, I’m reblogging this again
WE ARE NOT GONNA SNIPE EACH OTHER. WE AREN’T GOING DOWN BY FRIENDLY FIRE AGAIN.
FIGHT FOR YOUR ISSUES OR GTFO
Whoever wins the democratic primaries gets my vote. We CANNOT go through this again.
This is like to catch a predator, but like gone super saiyan
MY GOD!!!! SVU….
So isn’t reblogging this just warning pedos?
Yeah, kinda. So they won’t ‘BE’ pedos anymore, in a sense.
Hey, if this post gets pedophiles nervous and decreases their demand for child porn, I don’t see this as a bad thing. Less demand means fewer children get trafficked in the first place.
hey guys. as you’ve all probably noticed, I haven’t been on all that much recently. Frankly, me and tumblr aren’t on speaking terms right now. I may pop in and out, but honestly I’ve started to focus on other things and I don’t know how often I’ll be on here. There’s a lot of great people on here, but the level of toxic people as well as the astoundingly stupid staff has made it not something i’m too interested in anymore. it’s none of your faults, i promise <3
I’m not done being emotionally compromised by Samwise Gamgee in that scene in Shelob’s lair. He absolutely knows what the Ring has done to Frodo, mentally and spiritually - the thing that finally convinces him that Frodo must be dead is the fact that he doesn’t react to having the Ring taken from him. At some level, Sam knows that nothing but death could separate Frodo and the Ring now; that as long as Frodo lives he can’t willingly give it up.
And that’s a truth that neither of them can possibly afford to articulate to themselves, because what happens when we reach the Fire.
Oh no.
Oh no.
So both of them know that Frodo cannot, while he lives, willingly give up the Ring. Unlike Sam, I think that Frodo, so to speak, knows that he knows this. He knows there’s no hope, but he goes on anyway.
Sam knows it, but he has hope. Frodo is good, Frodo has him, Sam, to help him, something will happen to work everything out.
But even as early as the passage of the Marshes, Frodo says: “If the One goes into the Fire, and we are at hand? I ask you, Sam, are we ever likely to need bread again?” Look at that, look how depersonalized the language is: Frodo can’t even speak about casting the One into the Fire.
In honor of Britney Spears’ birthday (December 2), I want to remind everyone that this woman was publically ostracized for struggling with the onset of mental illness, divorce, and losing custody of her children after years of media scrutiny and hypersexualization starting at the age of 17. No, she is not just a crazy woman who shaved her head. She’s the victim of an industry that loves to build a woman up before tearing her down.
