I had ONE MESSAGE WAITING

Blue mist - by: Ruud van Putten

[skygenders]

so far during the RNC

Steve King claimed that white people have done more for civilization than non whites

Melania Trump plagiarized a speech from Michelle Obama (that’s symbolic)

Trump campaign denies that they plagiarized Michelle’s speech and cites a quote from my little pony 

Alaska yells at Ryan Paul for miscounting their votes

Milo gets his twitter account deleted for abuse right before his gaysfortrump event (haha #FuckMilo)

Chris Christie lead a witch trail 

Stephen Colbert took the microphone dressed as Caesar and claimed that he was starting the hungry for power games and then was escorted off stage but not before he said “I know i’m not supposed to be up here but let’s be honest neither is trump”

RNC security tries to cover up a No Racism No Hate sign with an American flag (symbolic again)

RNC got slammed when Ryan Paul took a selfie with interns, it was just a sea of white people and DNC responded with pictures of their interns who were more diverse 

Donald Trump was announced with “we are the champions” playing which naturally pissed off Queen 

the Internet lost it because  “We Are the Champions” is sung by Fred Mercury, a Bi man who died of AIDs in 1991 and Trump’s VP thinks HIV/AIDs funding should go to conversion therapy 

Laura Ingraham did a Nazi salute for .5 seconds which could have been a mistake (hmmmm)

Ted Cruz refused to endorse Trump and was booed off stage (fuck ted cruz though he’s worse than Trump but damn that took some balls)

If Sanders doesn’t get the nomination, and you can’t see yourself voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, then don’t. Vote third party.

Consider the Libertarian or Green Party.

Don’t feed the establishment by voting for Clinton, and don’t feed authoritarian isolationism by voting for Trump.

No. The absolute largest chunk of people considering changing their votes at the moment are disappointed non-conservatives. There was barely any competition among republicans; from the get-go, the voter base united behind Trump. If non-conservatives split their votes across multiple fronts, they WILL lose.

Voting third party in America throws your vote directly into the garbage. Our system does not work like Australia’s. You don’t get a second or third choice, and candidates who win aren’t going to look at the numbers and say “I see 25% of Americans voted Green, I should implement Green policies.” That’s not how it works. Conservative voters overwhelmingly back a single party, the GOP, while non-conservative voters are the ones that scatter across multiple, weak fronts when faced with an unappealing Democratic party nominee. Think about it like this:

The majority of Republican voters support Trump and are not changing their vote even though party leaders and figureheads are universally decrying him. They’ve been groomed for decades by the GOP to be this way, and now party leaders have lost control of the impressionable voter base they created for themselves. There’s nothing they can do about it at this point. While a small number of Republicans can and are switching parties, it’s not very much. Meanwhile, Democrats are floundering, trying to decide which front to unite under. Some of them go to the Green party or Libertarians, sure; the rest stay with the Democratic party in the hopes that even with people leaving, they will have enough to block Trump. But Trump doesn’t need a majority of total Americans to vote for him; he only needs more than the other candidates have. Do you understand what I’m saying? Trump could get 10% of the vote, but as long as no other party has more than 10%, he still wins. The second you split the left and middle across three or four fronts, the right seizes control. This is how it goes down every single fucking time we go through this.

The other thing to consider is that the electoral college is NOT going to weigh in favor of a third party. Doing so would be political suicide. They are paid to vote certain ways, and not doing so would fuck up their careers. Even if an entire state votes in favor of a third party, the electoral college is going to vote for whichever primary party matches up the closest, and sometimes not even that. Their votes are counted when making the actual choice of president; ours are not. They proved that with Gore. The majority of Americans voted for him; the electoral college installed Bush anyway and told us to suck it up. The question at this point is whether they’d risk it a second time, and we have to hope that they won’t, which is why we have to unite under a single front to block Trump.

^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!! People do not understand that under our plurality system, it doesn’t matter if the majority of the population doesn’t vote for Trump. As long as he has more than any of the other candidates, he wins. Splitting up the more liberal voters is now what non-Trump supporters want to do.

DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE, PLEASE! GOP is gonna vote Trump, they won’t vote for a 3rd party person. That means a solid voting bloc. Dem who split the vote are in essence giving him a free vote. HILARY WITH ALL HER FAULTS IS STILL BETTER THAN TRUMP!

[ameliyaaaa6]

GOD DAMNIT YALL BETTER NOT SPLIT THE DEM VOTES

[fenland-witch-deactivated202005]

This is how the Conservative Party in the UK won the last election with less than 40% of the overall vote!!!! Don’t do it America!

[fangirlscout]

NOT splitting the vote is how Canada snagged this magical unicorn man in the last election.  Basically everyone I know voted strategically, even if it was against their party, to ensure that Harper’s crusty conservative ass was kicked the hell out.  Personally I waffle between the Green Party and the NDP politically, but I sure as heck voted Liberal last election.

[mosaicabstract]

Reblogging again to remind everyone to vote STRATEGICALLY. Think of it like you are actively voting AGAINST Trump, instead of for Clinton, if it goes against your moral fiber, like it does mine.
