I don’t care if Hillary Clinton is corrupt. I don’t care if she lies, if she cheats, if she eats bowls of newborn chipmunks for breakfast.

She is literally the only thing standing in the way of a fascist dictator becoming President of the United States with a Republican majority congress that guarantees he can do anything he wants and nothing will be able to stop him.

I was and still am a Bernie supporter, and I hate a lot of things about Clinton, but none of that matters anymore. If Trump is elected, people are going to die. Women are going to die when Roe v Wade is overturned and Planned Parenthood is defunded. LGBTQ people are going to die when conversion therapy is further legalized and more bathroom bills are passed. POC are going to die as Trump rounds up Mexican immigrants, gives more power to the police, and fuels the fires of Islamaphobia. Poor people are going to die as Obamacare gets overturned and further cuts are made to welfare programs. And that’s just in this country. That’s not even taking account the all-too-likely outcomes of Trump starting new wars in the Middle East and having control of nuclear bombs that he’s said he ‘would not rule out’ using.

This is no longer even about ‘the lesser of two evils’. This is not ‘scare tactics’. This is literally life and death. Don’t fuck around and tell me you’re voting third-party or not voting at all, because you don’t have that luxury. 

I am delighted that this post has gotten as many notes as it has, but as Election Day grows closer I would like to flush it out with some additional information and facts, particularly for those people who are still considering voting third party and those who still consider Clinton “just as bad” as Trump.

Why you shouldn’t vote third party AT ALL: x, x, x, x (hint, it’s because the electoral college presently makes it impossible for third party to win)

Worried about Clinton’s scandals? John Oliver breaks it down.

Concerned that Hillary Clinton defended a child rapist? She tried to get out of it, but she had no choice

The official Republican platform includes banning abortion, overturning marriage equality, no background checks for purchasing guns, declaring coal “clean energy”, religion used as a guide for legislation, a border wall, and pornography declared a “public menace”.

Please do not waste your vote. You can complain about Hillary Clinton as much as you want, but complain about her while you vote for her.

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (I’m not a big one for paying compliments…), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter….

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m *dying* to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?” The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind that door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny. May I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk

BWAHAHAHAHAH. 

the way i learned this, it was always told through spoken word. And you’d do the door thing for ages. AGES. literally just making up any old material. ‘behind the foam door is a door made of spinach’ that kind of shit. Go on until whoever is listening has already begged you to stop and has now gone on to pleading, clutching your shirt on their knees pleading. And when you finally said the last line? People went fucking nuts Like there was a good chance of just getting the teeth knocked out of you after telling that joke.

A friend of mine did that shit for 30 minutes on a camp once. The entire fucking bus just exploded in anger when she finished. It was a fucking massacre. 

I did this for an entire fucking hour while hiking through the Adirondack. I’m surprised I made it out alive.

so, Gigi Hadid gets ASSAULTED??? by some horrible dude, he picks her up (in public!) and manhandles her and touches her without permission (and you can see if you slow down the vid that he also touched her private places so!! he didn’t just pick her up without permission, he also did that which makes it even worse) and she elbows him in the face DESERVEDLY while her useless bodyguards stand around and then hold her back after she tries to go after him (because the coward ran away after she fought back) and WHAT???? the media attacks her??? they call him a ‘fan’ and a prankster and say she lashed out at him…WOW i’m so glad she defended herself, i’m so proud of her, i’m so glad the moment was filmed because you can see everything that has happened and hopefully they will catch him!!! and i’m so glad people are jumping to her defense because the tabloids painted her out to be some angry girl that can’t take a joke while the literal video shows what actually happened and that her actions were completely justified

Let’s not forget that this monster has done things like this again and again. He stuck his head up America Ferrera’s dress at Cannes and the media reported it as a prank. America was called ‘red-faced’, implying that she’s embarrassed when she should be implied as furious or aghast.

He tried to grab onto Will Smith and kiss his mouth after Will had allowed a post-interview hug and cheek kiss. Will slapped him and got called a homophobe when he was clearly assaulted.

He grabbed onto both Bradley Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio and stuck his face in their crotches on two separate red carpets, long enough apart that a judge could have tried him and banned him in the time between.

In fact, after rushing Brad Pitt on the red carpet and reportedly punching him in the face and/or repeating the above crotch+face incidents (claiming he was going in for a hug only even though he, you know, had no right to be that close to Brad), a judge sentenced him to perform community service, charged him a fine and ordered him to get some version of counseling.

Wikipedia has an entire page devoted to him and the “incidents” he’s committed. He is a monster, a serial assaulter, and the press still somehow calls his disgusting behaviors “pranks”.

This is the society we live in. This is the bullshit we have to see. This is unacceptable.
