Unpopular opinion but I feel the need to say this as election year draws closer and Democratic candidates are being announced:
in 2020, the ONLY GOAL is getting that orange sludge out of office.
That’s it. That is endgame for 2020. If you stick your head up your ass so far as to think anything is more important than that at this point, get an emergency head-ass-ectomy REAL fucking quick because we CANNOT pull another 2016.
I don’t care if the Dem nominee is someone you hate, if you’ve voted Green Party for 34 years, if your goddamn mother is on the ticket. If mama isn’t the official presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, then you DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.
2020 is about blocking another four years of nightmare hell. 2020 is about caring about other people’s realities over your “conscience” (read: online woke points). It’s about standing up for every person hurt, every person harassed, every person KILLED by the hate this piece of radioactive bile spews from every disgusting orifice.
ESPECIALLY my fellow white people better take this message to fucking heart, because WE are the ones who fucked this up, ESPECIALLY my fellow white women. You are not allowed to “vote your conscience.” You are not allowed to “weigh the options.” You are suddenly a single-issue voter, and that issue is Trump Is Evil. You are voting to evict, voting to BLOCK. If the Democratic candidate is less than ideal, you suck it the fuck up for 2020. This election is not, CANNOT be about idealism, about perfection. It’s about starting to undo four years of damage.
So from the announcement of the nominee until November 3rd, 2020, you better be all fucking in. If you don’t like their stances on certain issues, if they’re not progressive enough, if they’ve reached across the aisle too many times, worry about it November 4th. Spend the next four years pushing them left, protesting everything you don’t like, picket the fucking White House if you need to. I will be right there with you. But that starts on November 4th. Until then, we are on a straight anti-Trump train and y’all better not fucking get off it.
Pay attention to this, guys. I’m already seeing KAMALA HARRIS IS A TRAITOR TO HER FELLOW POC posts going around.
There are a lot of things she’s done that I don’t love either, but the operative question is “would she be better than Trump?”
First put out the fire, before complaining about the state of what is on fire. For the love of god.
START NOW!
DO NOT ALLOW yourself to think negatively about ANY of the possible nominees. You can think one is better than the other, but don’t sit there thinking “Oh I could NEVER vote for this person because XYZ” because, dammit, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO.
Vote for the one you want in the primary, THEN PUT YOUR FUCKING ADULT PANTS ON AND vote for the one we NEED in 2020.
i really like the entire concept of vriska and equius being essentially in a 2 person HOA and just. constantly sending each other shitty threats over dumb shit. god. they’re neighbors.
what happens when one has n orange tree but the orange is over the others yard?
I just noticed something, digging around for some screencaps. I’m not about to “redeem the Diamonds in 60 minutes flat,” but at least with Blue, there’s some definite character growth to talk about here.
Blue is fixated upon how Pink used to make them all feel. All the things Pink did, and trying to unpack why Pink did those things. The purpose of play.
All that stuff with Yellow and Blue Pearls during Together Alone, and fun being “something you want to do, because it feels good,” rather than adhering to what you’re supposed to do, what’s expected of you, your purpose. I feel very strongly that the echo of the word purpose in Blue’s plea to White was deliberate. She doesn’t want to hurt people. And she hasn’t been allowed to do anything but that for thousands of years.
And then, at the end of Change Your Mind, BLUE is the one making everyone laugh.
Up until the events of Change Your Mind, Blue made everyone hurt because she was hurting. But she stopped using it, and didn’t even use it against Yellow when they argued. She’s no longer weaponizing her ability to control emotions. She wants to do things because they make other people happy. Making other people happy makes Blue happy. And she’s starting to understand that even if it might not be her “purpose,” she’s very good at it.
