ok all i gotta say about this mess is usa pls implement a preference system like we have in australia?? bc then those third party votes would go to use in the Grand Scheme of things??
Just as a general rule, I’d avoid making tumblr posts about assassinating a US president. It’s a class E felony. Don’t go to jail for 1-5 years and pay up to 250,000 dollars.
Harambe had 11,000 votes… What the fuck. Damn…. 11,000 people really waited in line, went to all the effort, and put in the name of a dead gorilla. It’s not even relevant as a meme anymore.
yes, third party and non-voters did bleed votes, but there needs to be a stronger acknowledgement of White People™ and how Trump increased the conservative white vote by being racist, xenophobic, and Islamophobic
We need you. The world needs you. We’ve been through this before, in one way or another, and we have prevailed. Who benefits from your death? Only those who want you silenced.
There will be blue skies ahead. There will be triumphs. This is not the end of the world.
Do not go gentle - we are here today because of the stubborn refusal of our predecessors to go away. There are oases even in the darkest of times. You are not alone, and you have not been abandoned. There *will* be blue skies ahead, and you will live to see them.
