He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink

To the Sanders fans pissed about Bernie endorsing Hillary

You do realize why he is doing this right?

He’s consistently said again and again after the primaries that his #1 goal is to: STOP DONALD TRUMP FROM BECOMING PRESIDENT.

So, with that goal in mind, it would be an absolute fuckton of a disaster if Bernie were to run third-party or begged his supporters to vote for him write-in, you know why? Because it would split the Democratic vote up in half. And because of that this would give them way less votes in order to beat Trump, and because of that Trump would lead in national votes in most states, and thus lead in the electoral vote, making him president.

Don’t believe me? Look at the 1912, 1968 and 2000 elections and tell me I’m wrong.

Bernie knows this too, that’s why he’s urging his supporters to vote for Hillary. He wants the Democrats united so Trump will be defeated.

He’s not “selling out”, he’s doing this so no supporter of his will either vote Trump or abstain from voting, and to make sure America continues progress. Progress that, unfortunately will be thwarted or reversed with Trump as president.

The political revolution fails if Trump is elected.

no offense but this year, politically, across the entire globe, has been an absolute joke

Eliot Spencer

How I feel about this character

SO.  MANY.  THINGS!?!?!?  I love how he’s the very definition of positive masculinity, in that he’s big and beefy and hits better and harder than anyone around, but he cooks and has a garden and takes care of his people and doesn’t make a big deal about it, he just does it.  He doesn’t feel shame about prettying himself up, if the situation calls for it, and he never looks down on things that are feminine and girly.

I love how he’s a champion for the working class.  I love how he speaks up and explains a way of life and a culture to city people who don’t really understand.  I love how, through him, people who are coal miners and farmers and boxers aren’t slotted into stereotypes of “dumb backwards people too stupid to leave bad situations.”  I love how, as someone who reblogged my Eliot Spencer post said, he’s a “a tough-guy brawler with a Texlahoma accent and who respects the hell out of women.” That kind of classist subversion matters to me.

I love how fucking smart he is.  I love how he shows that genius isn’t just people like Alec, it’s people like him who can absorb information like a sponge and recall detail to an impressive degree.  Liking sports and being good and physical/athletic activities doesn’t make you dumb, but also there is more than one kind of smart and I love that about Eliot.

I love how he is with women.  I love how he’s a charmer and has a lot of hookups, and never trash talks his exes.  I love that he recognizes and owns his own mistakes that contribute to a relationship failure (I actually love how this show portrays exes in general; they treated Maggie so well and I will forever be thankful for it.)

I like how he’s basically a Homme Fatale.  Like, Sophie will go in with a low-cut dress and a high hemline and have all the men eating out of her palm, and on the flip side Eliot will sidle up to a lady with those big warm eyes and look at her like “everything that could possibly come out of your mouth is interesting” and charm her in a similar way.  I really really liked how this show showed that women are unacceptable to the same kind of charm and flattery as men and actually used that.

I also love how fucking hot he is, goddamn.  Just when he’s hitting people or when he’s wearing a tank top with his hair tied back with a bandana, or when he’s cooking or serving food (that one scene in season one in the italian restaurent when he’s putting food on the table gets me EVERY. FUCKING. TIME).  I ADORED that ridiculous team vs. team scene where he’s going after the lady hitter and she gets wet and takes off her shirt and I rolled my eyes until the exact same thing happened to him and it was so hot my god.

Just.

Just.

Eliot.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Parker.  Alec.  Both of them.  At once.  TRIAD FOREVER

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I haven’t really thought about it but that hitter dude who (i think) worked a bit for Moreau?  During the season 4 finale?  I definitely feel like they should have a few dozen friendly hookups because hot damn.  Hot. Damn.

My unpopular opinion about this character

Based on the popularity of my aforementioned text post, i have zero unpopular opinions about this character

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish they made the Triad explicit, but thinking about the likelihood of a healthy functional triad relationship being portrayed by the main characters on TV makes me laugh myself sick.  Other than that i was perfectly happy with his arc and what happened with him.

Thank you.

lol and like i hate to be so usa centric and shit but like 1) i live in america and 2) sadly this country is no stranger to gun violence but ANYWAY it’s so ugly how we can’t grieve our tragedies here without europeans or anyone not from america laughing at us, we can’t talk about healthcare, the fact that our government is currently in the worst election year in decades, the fact that children, black people and non black people of color, and people of all sexualities and genders are being fucking murdered because of gun violence without someone using it as an opportunity to laugh at our pain about how out of control out gun laws are, we are perfectly aware of how terrible these laws are, us civilians are the ones dying because of them so please stop laughing at us as if WE OURSELVES can just find The Rule Book and erase the standing gun laws, let us fucking mourn please

Little Leverage Moments - Part 30/?

[bahtmun-deactivated20240623]

…people are afraid.

[fireandwonder]

Somewhere in the Leverage universe, there is a conspiracy theorist trying to prove that a certain minor league baseball player, a Canadian hockey player, and an American country music singer are all the same person. They have a file with various news printouts, and keep trying to upload them to a website, but every time they do, the site mysteriously crashes, threads go missing on discussion boards, and all electronic records of this man have simply vanished.
