Trying to watch that mess felt like listening to my schizophrenic relative explain her dream: Not fucking worth getting invested. Still voting against Trump but jeeze, this sure isn't helping the case for our electoral system. Giant douche or Turd sandwich would literally be more compelling.
I legit had so much anxiety and despair watching the first 15 minutes I had to get up, walk a literal quarter mile to clear my head, then got back, heard more, walked out on the porch and just cried.
I'm so getting arrested for being gay in Texas. I can feel it in my bones.
Sending love from the cold bits of NY. It ain't over until it's over-and then you hitch a ride up here and I row you into Canada.
Consider arming yourself. Armed queers bash back.
Armed queers bash back.
Now sell this as a bumper sticker or shirt.
If you like it, there's a number of etsy sellers that have this. Also see "defend equality" stickers from offcolordecals.
Lots of love from NZ. I feel your fear and I empathise. Trump will be a disaster for the world
Dude, I know it isn't always possible, but I would be doing everything in my power to get out of Texas before they set up state border crossings to contain their breeding-aged female hosts. It isn't just gaiety that makes us vulnerable to the boot, certain reproductive organs make us targets as well.
I am worried about a lot of the people in Texas, sending hugs.
they set up state border crossings
That's one of the few things that is almost certainly unconstitutional and I don't think even this SCOTUS would let fly. Free travel between the states and federal power over interstate commerce are just too big a deal.
They are already trying to restrict interstate travel for the purposes of abortion. I really don't think it's outside of the realm of possibility.
This SCOTUS would 6-3 vote how it’s not only legal, but can be enforced with Judge Dredd style executions.
First time independent wins election? The powers will be so furious, might be another assassination(suicide) before that happens
Independent voting just means Trump gets elected.
Only if you don't tell your Democratic peers to vote independent
It only works if you can get about 70 million to go along with you and vote for the same independent.
Fuck yeah, I can just copy and paste this whenever you tell people without ranked choice voting to vote independent. People can watch you not answer anywhere then.
Okay sure, let's have this discussion.
The first massive favor I'll do is give you the benefit of the doubt and accept you're saying this in good faith and not as a right-wing sock puppet.
The next massive favor I'll do is accept your (ostensible) plan is wildly successful, far beyond what you could reasonably hope for. Everybody is so moved by your comment that you convince 80% of Democrat voters to vote independent and every single one votes for the same independent party. Hell, I'll even throw in 10% of Republican voters.
The only thing we won't give you is the ranked choice voting needed to stop your idea being dumb as fuck. We'll stick to reality for that one.
So tell us how the next 4 years play out in your head. Polls close, votes are counted. Democrats 9.8%, Toothfairy Party 44.1%, Republicans 45.9%.
Then what?
Oh man, this guy figured out the cheat code. Don’t let the CIA know.
