i used to think that plot was so ridiculous. I’m embarrassed at how wrong i was.

when one character brokenly says “i have nothing to offer you” and the other character looks at them with fond exasperation, because there’s nothing else they could want except the gift of their love. that shit gets me.

i wanna be very clear that my celebrations are not particularly about biden winning, but they absolutely are about trump losing

Seeing some people on Tumblr still bitching about how it’s too late for voting and the only thing that will fix things is revolution.

How about you fucking vote anyway? It’s not going to seriously cut into your “sitting on the couch waiting for a revolution to start” time.

There’s no “none of the above” option here. You want a revolution, fine, but there’s still little shit to do in the meantime.

You can vote AND protest. They’re not exclusive. Hell, you can even protest the person you voted for when they fuck up. You’re not signing a blood oath with your ballot. But a desire for an ideologically pure candidate or nothing only serves the status quo right now.

Like to charge, fucking reblog to cast

conservatives love to threaten us with a good time let’s goooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

Literally anyone who’s read the results of any other time this experiment has been tried. Why are we still trying to prove the concept?

Here’s the link if anyone wants it!

We’re still trying to prove the concept because in the West, Big Business and their owners, The 1%, are screaming at the thought of having to give up a little money so everyone can get universal income that supports life - meaning jobs either have to pay you to put up with the literal shit or people can walk away from them without becoming homeless.

Our entire system is basically based on people being so afraid of homelessness and starvation that they’ll accept any shit job for shit pay.

After calling it “China virus” during the presidential debates, Trump got COVID on 中秋節, a Chinese holiday. This is what happens when you tempt fate this hard.

in case you missed it, as of today, enough republican senators have said they wouldn't block trump's SCOTUS pick so that trump could easily appoint someone before the election, regardless of what the voters actually want, ignoring the fact that they blocked a new SCOTUS pick from obama because the election was nine months away. guys, we're looking at a 6-3 conservative majority for the next 20 to 30 years. we're looking at decades of our rights being stripped away.

call your senators. email them. especially if they're republican. especially if they've publically stated they wouldn't block the SCOTUS pick. call, email, and make your voices heard since apparently the GOP senate hasn't been willing to listen so far.

If you’re not American and want a recap of the first 20 minutes of the debate:

Update (10 minutes later):

• Trump is comparing COVID to swine flu (200k deaths vs ~14k respectively)

• Biden brought up the bleach injection thing and Trump tried to claim it was sarcastic while obviously pouting

• Trump is claiming he spoke to the “scientists in charge” (of what? from where? who are they? we do. It know!) and we’ll have a vaccine “very soon”

• Trump just told Biden not to call himself smart as he is “anything but”

• “Tell that you Nancy Pelosi.” “Will he just shush?”

• Trump is showing how little he actually understands COVID

• shut down is “very bad” and shut down states are “doing very bad” meanwhile Glorida governor just lifted all COVID regulations

• “He shows up with the biggest mask I have ever seen!!!” ????? What?????

Round 3 of this shit show, here we go:

• He’s calling COVID the “China Flu” and blaming China for all the COVID deaths here (so I guess he has no sense of accountably)

• He keeps saying we have the best economy in the world (OBVIOUS lies)

• Biden just asked for more time back to make up for Trump’s interruptions during his allotted time

• “I have to respond to that” “You’ve both already had your time, Sir” Trump continues to talk and ignore the monitor

• “I’m the one who brought back football!” Sports players and team staff from all different sports leagues are still testing COVID positive despite isolation

• “No, Mr. President, I am asking you a question” this monitor is dealing with an errant child

• “How much in taxes did you pay in 2016 and 2017?” “Millions and millions of dollars.” YEAH, OKAY.

• “You’re the worst president we’ve ever had.” — Biden

We’re only halfway there, cry (part 6):

• Trump actually has the balls to tell off Biden about race when he’s a racist and treating people and their children who crossed the southern border like animals in cages

• Trump is so white-sensitive and xenophobic it’s painful

• “He’s racist” Biden isn’t even pretending to give a fuck

• Trump is (still) staring Biden down like he’s his prey and he’s trying to intimidate him but Biden is refusing to even glance his way

• Every time Biden says anything, Trump has to disagree even if it’s statistics/facts

• Trump has said “law and order” at least a dozen time in the past 10 minutes

• “Mr. President, you be really happy with the next subject of debate: law and order” gee I wonder what they’re talking about

• Law and order (x100)

• We’re turning the conversation towards protests, here we go

I wanna cry and laugh at the same time, part 7:

• “he made a statement! I need to respond!” *moderator frantically starts telling him that no, no he does not*

• “Antifa is an idea, not an organization” — Biden

• “Antifa is a dangerous, ridiculous group.” — Trump

• Now we’re talking about Clinton and her “con job”

• “He’s Putin’s puppy.” — Biden

• TRUMP IS P I S S E D

• “You’re party has agreed not to interrupt —” *Trump interrupts* “That was not a rhetorical question!”

• Trump is taking more shots at Biden’s son, Hunter

• Now the moderator is getting pissed

• *frustrated moderator voice* “I want to talk about climate change”

• Insulting the Paris Accord, talking about business over the environment

• Won’t talk about the actual science of climate change, just keeps talking about forest management and forest cities??? And he cares about clean air so apparently that’s an answer about science

• “If you believe in the science of climate change, why did you roll back about the emissions?” “Because it was too expensive” oh, so it IS about money

80 minutes down, 40 to go (part 8):

• Biden says he’ll join the Paris Accord if elected

• Moderator is fact-checking the shit out of this debate, on both sides

• “Trump actually said we should drop a nuclear weapon on the hurricane” “that’s not true” “it is true” “no it’s not, made up”

• We’re back to bringing up China, Russia, and India again which he keeps bringing up in that same order as if he can’t remember any other countries and had to memorize those just for tonight

• “The final question is — I can’t remember which of his rantingsis up” “me too” (paraphrased but still)

• The Biden Plan™️

• Trump’s own officials assure mail-in voting is safe and not rigged but apparently trump disagrees with his own officials

• Biden reminding you to VOTE. TRUMP. OUT.

• “Crooked Hillary Clinton”

• Trump’s sad because a ballot with his name on it was in the trash (odd, because that’s where it should be)

• Trump is all but threatening to go to the Supreme Court about mail-in ballots and voting legitimacy, once again hinting that he will not leave office peacefully in January 2021 if voted out

• Biden told Trump he was afraid of losing the election because of losing the vote and from fraud and Trump got SO MAD again

• Now all three men are talking loudly at once and nothing productive is happening

Part nine (the finale!):

• Out of nowhere, Trump: “Bad things happen in Philadelphia! Bad things.”

• Trump said mail-in voting has already been proven fraudulent and Biden deadass tells him he has no idea what he’s talking about

• Debate ends and Melanie slinks on stage. No mask.

• Jill Biden greets moderator politely and wears a mask (guess which has actual manners)

• Post-interview time!

• “It was a pure train wreck. I don’t know how that helped anybody if you’re an independent voter.”

• other station: “it was a disaster”

• Everyone’s immediately calling out Trump for being rude and interrupting and agitated from the very beginning of the debate til the end.

• “This took it too far, even for Donald Trump”

• “The way he ran that debate is the way he runs the country” YUP

• Turned on Fox just to get an idea of what both sides are saying and they’re talking about Biden losing his cool but he only was because trump wouldn’t shut up??

• Overall, it was a massive shit show and the president disgraced to American politics
