okay jesus fuck this conversation has gone far enough so:
hey, so you like bernie sanders! i like bernie sanders too! i agree with his politics! he is doing better than people expected in the democratic primaries, which is cool!
what are you going to do if he loses?
because given the tone of the conversations i hear on this website right now– given the sheer hatred of hillary that’s emerging, given the overwhelming feeling that bernie sanders is amazing and the messiah and the only candidate that’s worth voting for in america– here’s what i see happening in mid-2016:
- bernie sanders, who despite his better-than-expected performance still has an unbelievably low chance of winning the primaries, loses the primaries to hillary clinton
- the leftist wing of the democratic party (that’s us– tumblr, yeah, but also the whole occupy-black lives matter-third wave feminist-young educated millennials crowd), having spent the past 10 months campaigning against hillary clinton, is overwhelmingly disappointed
- while a few people are willing to bite the bullet and campaign for hillary, energy is low, disillusionment is high, and many leftist americans don’t campaign, don’t donate, and don’t vote (or vote for third-party candidates, like the green party or the peace and freedom party)
- the republican party wins the presidential election.
(i literally shivered as i typed that last bullet point, btw– i know there are people voting in 2016 who were ten years old when obama was elected, and y’all may not remember much of the bush years. i was only 13 when bush left, but jesus christ– remember when hurricane katrina was overwhelmingly badly handled? remember when the patriot act passed? remember when the housing bubble collapsed? remember when the president said god told him to invade iraq? y’all wanna do that again?)
so what are you going to do if bernie sanders loses?
i need you to think about that now. i need you to not be surprised when it happens. i need you to not put all your hopes in one basket.
you think the gop won’t be pouring all their resources into this election? you think the superpacs and the koch brothers and the oil lobbyists won’t be throwing their money at ballot boxes until they spit out the result they want? you think the rich and powerful and conservative won’t be bringing their best game?
they will, and if we don’t work twice as hard as they do– no matter who the democratic nominee is– we are fucked.
i need you to be okay with the idea of hillary clinton being president of the united states, and i need you to make peace with that before she wins the primaries, so that you’re prepared and ready to campaign for her with all your might if she’s the democratic nominee.
because i honest-to-god believe this country will not survive another four, eight, twelve years of a republican administration.

I want a breakfast burrito, but there aren’t any tortillas.
Fuck!

We accidentally
So I found this in my drafts. I don’t remember making it but I’m wondering what we accidentally did
Tumblr’s obsession with Pepe is pretty much the same thing as Facebook’s obsession with Minions.
I hate this post for opening my eyes

I know I’m beautiful but I’m not beautiful in the way I want to be.
Imagine one of your OT3 being asexual and the other two accepting that fact without leaving them out of the relationship romantically.
Okay I’m sorry my brain is stupid but all I can picture is the two sexual partners getting some sexytime in the bed after a date and the asexual on pulling the pillow on their head and going “Some people are trying to sleEP YOU ANIMALS”
And the asexual person shows up the next night while the two sexual people are trying to sleep, banging two pans together like, “I DIDN’T GET NO SLEEP CAUSE’ O’ YA’LL! YA’LL GET NO SLEEP CAUSE O’ ME!”
Reblogging becAUSE THAT L AST COMMENT OMFG XD
