it's immortality, my darlings

When Obama won Indiana by 0.1%, it was considered a fluke. When Trump won Michigan by 0.2%, Wisconsin by 0.7%, and Pennsylvania by 0.8%, it meant Democrats are locked out of those states forever unless they drastically change their entire message. 

[planetaryromance]

To be fair you are comparing .1% with a collective 1.7% and that is a pretty big difference.  Also, Hillary Clinton was notably absent in Wisconsin and Michigan after they went for Bernie Sanders in the primary.  This is a mistake Barack Obama never made - after losing to HRC in the in the Michigan primary, for instance, he made sure to be present not only in Detroit but the rural and suburban (mostly white) parts of the state.

I’m not saying the narrative isn’t getting corrupted on some level but 3 key, usually blue states can hardly be called a fluke.

snl was one of the first shows to give donald trump a platform to be funny and relatable and normalize his bs and now theyre doing skits on how horrible he is and how unbelievable it is that he got elected 

[sheabutterbitch]

We were discussing Curt Cobain in psychology today and literally all the black people were like “who’s that?” and like this annoying white girl was like “you don’t know him? Nirvana…smells like teen spirit” and this nigga really said “nah I know kirko bangz tho” emnsksnsksnsksn

[classicchristmas2]

I don’t want to be that person but it’s Kurt

[sheabutterbitch]

who?

[fortylinestare]

someone made a really good point in the commentary of a post once which basically boiled down to the fact that james and lily’s patronuses are complements of each other (stag / doe) as opposed to snape and lily’s (doe / doe) which just goes to show how love and obsession are not the same thing at all thank u for ur time

no offense but the whole kissin kate barlow and “i can fix that” sam storyline from holes is quite frankly one of the most gripping and tragic in the history of cinema and i’m still not recovered from it

I have a honest question about Bernie Sanders I can’t seem to find: if he wins the primary, will he start taking SuperPAC money? Because if not, he can’t possibly win.

[anarchapella]

I don’t think he will. It’s kinda his thing.

[brainstatic]

If that’s really the case, then a vote for him is basically a Republican vote, because no human can withstand a billion dollars worth of attack ads coming from the other side while only slinging back a tiny bit back. And I’m not talking about these nice little attack ads calling him weak on liberal issues, I mean real hardcore Willy Horton shit. I don’t know about you guys but I’m not prepared to lose Obamacare and Planned Parenthood just so Bernie Sanders can say he stuck to his guns.

[anarchapella]

I think he can do it with private donations. Like, I can’t see ppl taking Cruz or trump seriously enough for him to even need to attack them.

[dendrytes-deactivated20211218]

he’s broken a number of records already with small donations, I can’t imagine that’s going to change if he ends up being the nominee for the whole Democratic Party.

[brainstatic]

But Hillary has far more money, something like 55 million to his 30 million. He only broke records in numbers of donors. And if you want to talk about records, just imagine the fundraising records the Republican is going to break when he goes against a self-identified socialist. Millionaires and middle class evangelicals alike are going to pour fortunes into beating him.

I remember in 2008, Obama’s best fundraising period was after Sarah Palin became McCain’s running mate. She was a gift from the fundraising gods. That’s going to be the effect Sanders has for the right.

Let’s not fall into the trap of that theater critic who infamously said after Nixon won “I don’t know how he won, no one I know voted for him.”

I’m gonna read the Bernie Sanders subreddit because white male sadness is my fuel, my fire.

[myboyfriendpetebuttigieg]

And the top post is literally a conspiracy theory about Hillary infiltrating district caucuses and manipulating the votes.

[planetaryromance]

Literally there's a former Trump supporter on there saying he's now a Sanders supporter.

Me, arms crossed, sitting alome in a dark corner of the room, pouting: I'm right, though.
