I’ll be writing in Bernie as well. #Love it!
Post: This is a really bad idea that will make it more likely for Trump to win. Bernie Sanders: Please vote for Hillary instead of writing me in. People: I’m gonna write Bernie in!
DON’T. VOTE. FOR BERNIE
All of these “I’ll write in Bernie” people, are literally the living embodiment of Privilege.
The main point of this post: voting third party or writing in Bernie will split the vote and basically hand Donald the White House.
DO NOT WRITE IN A NAME
DO NOT VOTE THIRD PARTY OR VOTE FOR BERNIE SANDERS
FOR GODS SAKE BERNIE SANDERS HAS TOLD PEOPLE NOT TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT WORK AND IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR TRUMP TO WIN
ALSO, WRITING IN BERNIE WON’T WORK, HE ISN’T AN APPROVED THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. WRITING HIM IN IS LITERALLY THROWING YOUR VOTE AWAY!
THIS
IT IS LITERALLY NOT LEGALLY POSSIBLE UNDER US LAW FOR BERNIE SANDERS TO BECOME PRESIDENT
Now if you want to ACTUALLY show your support for Bernie, vote democrat in the senate elections
Because if the democrats get a senate majority that means Bernie Sanders will be in a position of power in the senate
That’s a way to ACTUALLY show your support
Writing his name in on presidential ballots though? That’s WASTING YOUR VOTE
YOU NEED TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON
For literally the hundredth time: Voting for Hillary Clinton is the ONLY WAY to guarantee Trump does not become president
Also it’s illegal to take a photo of your ballot
YES that is important to remember as well!

Bernie had literally said don’t write him in. Please respect his fucking wishes
if you’re looking for something to see instead of dr str*nge the weekend it comes out, think about supporting moonlight, the story of a boy growing up black and gay in the miami projects and his experiences at three stages in his life (boyhood, his teenagerdom, and his adult years). it has a ninety-eight percent review on rotten tomatoes.
give this movie the attention it deserves. let this story be told and reach the wide audience it should.
It’s November 8 2016. Election Day. And you didn’t vote. You knew that trump is evil “but Hillary is just as bad”, you said. You hate both of them, so you refused to vote. “Neither deserves to win”, you said and by the way, it’s rigged anyway, right? You refuse to play that game and you feel quite good about it. You’re a rebel. It’s your kind of protest against the corrupt system!
You come home from work, with a smile on your face. It looks like your protest works: Some of your friends also didn’t vote or wrote in the name of a third candidate. You feel really good. Maybe you and your friends are enough to change the system! And if not, well, you’ve seen presidents change before and it never had too many consequences in your life.
You sit down in front of your tv, reach for the remote and your phone buzzes. It’s a text from one of your friends, the weird one who begged you to vote for Hillary - and your smile falls off your face “It looks like Trump will probably win. I’m so scared. My sister is crying.”
You suddenly remember that your friend’s sister is trans.
You turn on the tv and you can’t believe your eyes. The third candidate one of your other friends voted for is at 4%! That’s great, isn’t it? But wait.. Hillary is currently behind Trump? By 6%? Oh. You didn’t expect that.
Another text. A co-worker. “Two people called in sick. I think it’s because they’re scared to go outside in case Trump wins..”
One of your co-workers is black, one is Muslim.
You stare at the tv and you can’t believe what you hear. “Trump won.” It was a head-at-head race and Hillary almost won - but only almost. You can’t believe it. None of your friends were going to vote for him!
You want to go outside to think about something else - but you stop as you hear your neighbor crying on the phone. “I’m so scared i’ll lose the custody right when our marriage gets annulled”.
You suddenly remember that your neighbors are a gay couple with a cute little daughter.
But Hillary would’ve been just as bad, right?
in short, vote Hillary if you care about keeping this country in one piece. otherwise, you better go apologize to every single minority and woman that you know on November 9th because your protest vote has put them in danger.
And remember that conservatives routinely do things to make voting harder for people to do. Redistricting, closing polls in areas with a high minority population, “poll watchers”. They don’t want you to vote. That’s literally what they play on. “Not voting” isn’t going against the system, you’re playing the conservative’s game just how they want it.
….this is a cute scare tactic and all but I’m left to wonder if anyone who writes posts like this are currently watching the polls or monitoring the numbers?
Real Clear Politics polls has Trump up in several swing states as of today 11/2. Republicans are using every power they have to suppress the vote in Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina. Nothing can be taken for granted in this election. These are not "scare tactics" it is a real possibility.
Please Listen
A few things you need to know about this hot coffee case:
MORE FUN FACTS:
9. The woman who was burned was not driving the car, she was a passenger.
10. The car was not in motion when she was burned. The car was parked so she could add cream and sugar.
The coffee case is one of the biggest examples of a carefully-crafted smear campaign by a company that is in the wrong trying to hide that.
Additionally, several people had been badly burned by McDonald’s coffee prior to that case, both employees and customers, and McDonald’s had been fined and told to lower the heat of their coffee. They refused to lower the coffee’s heat, continuing to serve a product they KNEW from EXPERIENCE was dangerous, because they could.
When she was burned, she reached out to McDonald’s for them to cover her medical expenses. They sent her a coupon booklet as a big eff yuu.
She required skin grafts not just on her genitals but on her thighs, buttocks, and I think stomach. Like, it was a lot of skin grafts! And did you know that skin grafts don’t always take? She was very severely hurt by a product that McDonald’s knew for a FACT was dangerous.
But nah, go on talking about how she was just foolish and greedy, that’s obviously the case, big corporations have all of our best interest in heart, really they do.
Her name was Stella Liebeck. She has since passed away but I think it’s important to name the victim in this story. Her name was Stella Liebeck and the coffee was so hot that it fused her labia together. It melted her genitals closed. But it’s all just a giant joke, huh?
By the way?
Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused.
At that point, she had medical bills of over $11,000. She was anticipating more. She didn’t have much money.She just wanted McDonald’s to pay for the damage their coffee had done so that she could get medical treatment. Seems reasonable, right?
McDonald’s countered with an offer of $800, then turned down repeated requests to settle.
And there weren’t several people who were burned before Liebeck. It was a LOT worse than that.
During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebeck[’]s. This history documented McDonalds’ knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard.
So McDonald’s knew that their coffee was burning people–in some cases, causing third-degree burns. They knew it for TEN YEARS. And they did nothing about it.
Oh, and the jury award?
The jury awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages. This amount was reduced to $160,000 because the jury found Liebeck 20 percent at fault in the spill. The jury also awarded Liebeck $2.7 million in punitive damages, which equals about two days of McDonalds’ coffee sales.
:::
The trial court subsequently reduced the punitive award to $480,000 – or three times compensatory damages – even though the judge called McDonalds’ conduct reckless, callous and willful.
So all of the jokes about how rich Liebeck got off the settlement? Nope. McDonald’s ended up not even haping to pay most of it.
Nancy Tiano says her mother was “never happy about the incident” and that “the burns and court proceedings took their toll.” During her final years, Tiano says, her mother had no quality of life. The good news is that the settlement helped to ease the end of her life by paying for a live-in nurse.
That’s where the money went. For medical care.
Don’t forget that the REASON that they serve their coffee at DANGEROUSLY high temperatures (Injuring literally thousands of customers) is because coffee brewed and kept at those DANGEROUSLY HIGH temperatures tastes fresher longer, so less undrunk coffee has to be thrown out throughout the day, so McDonalds can MAKE MORE PROFIT on their damn coffee sales.
Forever reblog.

Some pretty artses I did for a recent comic convention! You may have seen this (in form of prints) from a couple of my Tumblr posts, so here are ALLLL of them. I had initially wanted to draw several of the X-Men in different seasons (I have Kitty Pryde slotted for Spring, and Jean Grey for Summer), and got stumped for a season that would best represent Ororo. When in doubt - ask the Internet - I posed the question to my Facebook fanpage followers. The answers were? Draw her in ALL the seasons XD So here she is, Storm for all Seasons. I wanted to draw her for ages in an appropriately awesome setting because she is one awesome character - and I ended up splurging on four illustrations of her at once lol I tried to insert some references of the weather in each seasons (rain for Spring, a summer thunderstorm in the Summer piece, wind for autumn etc).. nothing very out there but hopefully it’ll add something to the overall piece! Thanks for viewing :) And should anyone want to own a piece (or four) - the prints are available at the following links: http://etsy.me/1hAqq3i (A6 prints, full set) http://etsy.me/1jCHavb (A4 prints, full set) http://etsy.me/1cjDJUI (A4 prints, singles)
Can we appreciate how cute Google is today?!
