Feminism is NOT a dirty word. Feminism is the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.

To the 5% of people in Arizona who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 11 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

To the 3% of people in Florida who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 29 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

To the 5.5% of people in Michigan who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 16 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

To the 5% of people in New Hampshire who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 4 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

To the 3.3% of people in Pennsylvania who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 20 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

To the 5.7% of people in Wisconsin who voted 3rd party- if you had voted for Hillary, that’s 10 electoral votes that would have gone to her.

Total, that is 90 electoral votes. As I type this, Hillary needs 61 to win.

Please just let that sink in for a second. 

Hillary would’ve been elected right now, at this very moment, if instead of you protesting your vote, had just voted for her. She would  EASILY be President. 

You KNEW 3rd party candidates didn’t stand a chance. You were told. But instead, you had to vote for them anyways, and guess what?

You screwed us over. Congratulations.

I hope that feeding your “both candidates are bad” superiority complex is worth a Trump presidency.

this is white people lmfao ya’ll did this

If you support Trump, you’re racist.

If you support Trump, you’re sexist.

If you support Trump, you’re ableist.

If you support Trump, you’re homophobic.

If you support Trump, you’re transphobic.

If you support Trump, you’re xenophobic.

If you support Trump, you’re Islamophobic.

If you support Trump, you’re fascist.

If you support Trump, you are not a good person.

These are non-debatable. There’s no wriggle room. Loving your children or going to church isn’t going to cut it.

They are not insults. They are statements. They are facts.

There’s no ‘shade of gray’ here. There’s no take backs. 

I don’t care what the Republican party used to stand for, I don’t care what your politics and beliefs and all the other bullshit you tell yourself to go to sleep at night. You vote for Trump, you are a fear mongering, hateful bigot, motivated by fear and anger and ignorance and hatred. Period.

It’s not about ‘different opinions’ or ‘political sides’ anymore. This is real life. Wake the fuck up.

[tonyrhodes]

exhausted by how much america hates women

bc thats what it is. no one wanted to like her, no one wanted to trust her. people who supported her kept having to add the disclaimer that they didn’t really want her in power, she was just the ~lesser of two evils~ 

the republican smear campaign against her worked bc people love to hate women

and it doesnt matter how good they are at what they do. doesnt matter that she’s the most competent person to run for president maybe ever. ppl would rather see a dangerous, unstable, bigoted lunatic in the white house than a woman. ppl who voted for bernie would rather switch their support to gary johnson – whose platform is much closer to trump’s than it is to bernie’s – than support the woman who beat their old white fav. trump is winning bc he’s running against a woman, and the misogynist masses would give literally anyone but her the win

[monopolizers]

this is so funny because i, personally, am exhausted by how much white women love to claim the victim narrative. wake up, girl. it’s black women who are driving the gender gap against trump… white women are voting him in by a majority (: 

no person of colour gives a shit about whether or not hillary is or was likable–many of us voted for her despite disliking her because we were scared shitless of the other option. it is genuinely shocking to me that you would implicate black and latino men in this when it was white people all along. 

it wasn’t about the republican smear campaign against her–it was the racism and bigotry donald trump campaigned with that appealed to white voters.

get this into your head: it wasn’t about her being a woman except peripherally. it was about race. white voters weren’t voting against clinton–they were voting for trump, for racism, for the deportation of muslims and latinxs. sear this chart into your little eyeballs and TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[hyunjining]

if you’re in america and you’re eligible to vote…… i’m begging you to vote for hillary like literally begging

[deafeningechoesofsilence]

I wouldn’t vote for either of them. They’re both keeping secrets and will both turn this country to absolute shit.

[hyunjining]

anyway vote for hillary instead of throwing your vote away

[sweet-on-you]

This is what gets me. The fact that for 90 minutes Hillary clearly showed how prepared she is to be president. How capable, knowledgeable, and cool-headed she is. She put forth actually solutions to problems that are inclusive and hopeful.

Donald Trump stood there for 90 minutes and yelled belligerently into his microphone. Twenty minutes into the debate his sentences were incoherent and, as he is so skilled at doing, he managed to never actually answer the questions thrown his way, unless he was called out on it and given even more time to actually respond with something relevant to the topic at hand.

And yet here we are. The debate is over, Hillary has clearly won and shown the American people want an actual President should look like, and people still aren’t convinced. Hillary has been at this job for THIRTY YEARS. And yet, she still suffers from this ‘likability’ thing thanks to the GOP propaganda that has been smearing her name since the beginning of her career.

“But she’s a liar!” “She’s hiding something!” “She’s keeping secrets!”

Bullshit. Hillary Clinton is a high-ranking government official. Of fucking course she’s keeping secrets, that’s her damn job. If we knew ever last thing that ever went down in the State Department, we’d all shit ourselves. Those are just your own shitty excuses for not voting for her because she wasn’t your first option in the primaries. What, exactly, do people think will happen if Hillary becomes President? What would be the terrible awful outcome of that? I have never actually heard, specifically, what she would do that would ruin our country beyond repair. We all know what Trump would do. It’s his fucking platform, he’s not trying to hide anything there. But no one can actually lay out specifics on what makes Hillary so scary, other than the fact that she’s overly qualified for the job she’s being interviewed for.

If you really feel so strongly about it, fine. Vote third party. But please, do yourself a favor. Actually fucking look at what Hillary and Trump are proposing for this nation. Really try to understand what exactly will happen if one of them gets elected. And then truly think about whether or not you could stomach looking the next generation in the eye if your third party vote gets Donald Trump elected President of the United States.

Joe Biden crashed a college party in this new #ItsOnUs PSA explaining why sexual assault is *everyone’s* problem

Could vice president (and part-time TV actor) Joe Biden sneak into a college party in real life? Judging by a new Funny or Die video, he totally could.

WHY CAN’T HE BE PRESIDENT? WE OBVIOUSLY FUCKED UP MAJORLY SOMEWHERE, WOE IS US.

FUCKING THIS!

[anonymous-robot]

[rottenlittleboys]

I have to wonder if secret service members were watching Donald stalk around the stage last night made any of them hyper vigilant for Hillary.

If this had not been a debate, Trump’s behavior would have seen him detained for questioning if not arrest for agresive behavior.

Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz ( 1651-1695): the Phoenix of Mexico

There is SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION at the main site entry - 28 footnotes worth! Before you start going off about “why doesn’t she have a movie” (she does), or “this detail isn’t right!” please go there and read up.

Art notes and shout-outs behind the cut.

ALSO SHE WAS A LESBIAN

[rejectedprincesses]

Possibly.  

The tl;dr version, which I mentioned in the footnotes: “She might have been a lesbian, there’s not enough evidence.”

Longer version behind the cut.

[thequantumqueer]

i can’t read what she wrote in blood?

It reads:

Juana Ines de La Cruz The Worst of All

(which is how she actually signed things, albeit in Spanish. that’s even a copy of her real signature.)
