not voting for hillary clinton is a vote for donald trump

[4rkham-asylum]

But also THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO CHOICES IN THIS ELECTION pls people, I know it seems unlikely, but if everyone who didn’t want either candidate wrote in a name, someone else would stand a chance [and we could live with ourselves, not having voted for one or the other]

[chonce]

no they wouldn’t, literally do not do this

[tootyfrootycasbooty]

please educate yourself about nader and the 2000 presidential election before encouraging this literally terrible idea

[somepretty-things]

People on both sides say “Not voting for my candidate is a vote for the other guy” No, it’s just not a vote for your fucking candidate. Vote for who you actually believe in, otherwise you might as well not vote. If Hillary actually gave a damn she would try harder than just say “Vote for me cause I’m not Trump” No bitch, how about you show me something I can believe in. God damn, no wonder so many people don’t fucking vote.

[teamironmanforever]

*sigh*

Let me explain why they say a vote for a 3rd candidate or not voting for Hillary is voting for Trump:

The United States does not have a direct democratic voting system. We have an indirect system called the electoral college.The electoral college is  a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.

To win the Presidency you do not need a popular majority; you need the majority of votes of the electoral college. 

The way the college works is that the two parties select the delegates that will serve as electors, and the electors pledge to vote for the candidates, depending on their party affiliation, of either the democratic or republican party. So, when people go vote, they are actually going to vote for electors that have pledged to vote for a specific party/candidate. 

Each state is allocated a different number of electoral seats, and so not every state is truly worth the same given that every candidate is racing to secure 270 seats (minimum required to win the election). 

What’s important to note is that the electoral college is a winner take all vote in 48 of the 50 states, meaning that the candidate with the higher number of votes in a given state will get ALL of the seats. This is one of the reasons why third party candidates are a wasted vote. 

Based on our country’s history, most States around the country have already been defined as either red or blue, because the majority of the people that go and vote in said states tend to stick to either one or the other no matter who is on the ballot. It becomes a bit of loyalism to a party or, more accurately, just a strong distaste towards the ideals of the other party. However, there are a few swing states that really define the elections, for each election cycle they tend to change depending on who is on the ballot. 

Now, third party candidates, which is often used as a protest vote, have never worked because a) they are not written into every state ballot, meaning that there are states that don’t offer these candidates given that they did not qualify b) have rarely gotten enough votes to even be up for electoral seats c) ALWAYS end up hurting one of the two candidates, for, in close runs, they can make one of the other two candidates lose a SWING STATE.

This is what happened with Ralph Nader in 2000. The votes that he received hurt Gore in certain states, particularly florida, which led to Bush winning as he had the majority of electoral seats even though he did not have the majority in popular vote. 

Now, in the latest poll, it shows that the race between Hillary and trump is very close, and, when third party candidates are involved, it actually HURTS Hillary’s chances. 

Now, if it hurts her enough, Trump can obtain the much needed swing states. If he gets over 270 seats (and thus more than hillary) he WILL win the goddamn election. 

This is not a year to vote for a third party candidate. This is not a man you want in the oval office of the most powerful country in the world. 

There is nothing NOTHING you can pull out that will make Trump the lesser of two evils. 

We live in a country that has a two party system, so yes, a vote for a 3rd party candidate or a non-vote IS actually a vote for trump.

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

[the-prolefeed]

Why do you think they deserve it

[killin-the-machine]

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

[the-prolefeed]

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

[teaboot]

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

Reblogging for the very, very important lesson

[smarter-than-the-republicans]

Sometimes I wish there were a Hell if only for the visuals of a bunch of rich shit heads wandering around on fire asking “Where’s my money?!”

[motherfucker-somewhat-limited]

[dduane]

“For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled in the tombs of the dead kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.”

― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed

[droewyn]

“Why do you think they deserve it?” Why the fuck do YOU think that they DON’T?

[wowbe]

Just curious about the numbers being used… Google search says 580k homeless in America, so 58 billion dollars. Bezos net worth is 200 Billion dollars per google search. So more like 25% of his net worth. Which considering he’d have 150 billion left over is nothing (not arguing with the logic, just curious about the math)

this is comedy gold. you should take notes

[toni-hiatus]

I was honest expecting the punchlines to be “You die”

[stupidfuckingurlthatsnotcringe]

whats with the “im vegan” stereotype. all the vegans i know are reluctant to tell people theyre vegan and all the carnists i know love telling people why they cant be vegan and how much they love meat

[thecompassionatevegan]

And many omnivores are happy to “out” vegans in a group…..

[a-cat-with-antlers]

I’ve actually had this happen to me once or twice. I hope you don’t mind if I share a personal experience, but a few months ago, my flatmates were having some kind of dinner party where they were cooking some kind of beef and spaghetti bake. I came to the kitchen to fetch some water and they offered me some, and I politely declined. I mentioned nothing about being vegetarian or vegan or whatever. Then one of the flatmates, with a slight smirk on her face, quickly says ‘She’s a vegetarian.’ 

Though nobody made any nasty remarks about it, I still couldn’t help but feel a bit irked that this is a perfect example of how we don’t even have to introduce ourselves as vegans because somebody else will quickly announce it for us. 

And yet people have the audacity to make the ‘how do you know someone is vegan’ jokes. 

[thecompassionatevegan]

@cynical-veggie I totally know this and can relate. We’ve all had so many ridiculous experiences, and true, they “out” us announcing it to everyone that we’re vegan, crossing boundaries. They’d certainly never out a(n) LGBTQ person…. Why do it to us????

[stupidfuckingurlthatsnotcringe]

i appreciate everyone telling their own experiences on this post but it makes me really uncomfortable that youre comparing being vegan to being lgbt. i chose to be vegan. in proud of it and i dont regret Choosing it. i never chose to be gay & trans. i have to live in fear constantly and get deadnamed and ridiculed.

the worst thing that could happen if my friend said i was vegan to someone is id get made fun of or told how much they like meat. the worst thing that could happen if my friend told someone i was gay/trans is i could get raped or killed. its not comparable and it makes me upset you would draw that comparison

[thecompassionatevegan]

I see me being vegan very personal, I don’t share that with just anyone - talking about me…. That’s why I used the comparison. If you knew how I grew up and the family that I was born into, you would see the comparison. I can’t talk to family members because of my life, I’ve been judged​, and ridiculed. Some have actually have a parallel to LGBTQ. Until you’ve been a part of a cattle ranching and butcher shop owning family - you have no idea how much it’s a parallel

[thatlesbianvegan-blog]

Ok, but again being judged and ridiculed is different from being murdered or assaulted for being who you are. I don’t know that I’ve heard of a cattle owning family killing their child because they’re vegan. Also wouldn’t someone have to be LGBT as well to fully understand the parallel? I’m not dismissing your experience, but that doesn’t necessarily clear the comparison. Also like while you may be committed to it, veganism is a choice, if you wanted to, you could theoreticallly change any time you want. (Not saying you would or should)

I’m not saying that there aren’t challenges there, but they are born from a different cause than the challenges and fears of LGBT people and so are not necessarily comparable, and there is a difference in risk. There is a lot of things that set me a part from others in my family, but very few of them carry the weight and risk as when someone finds out I’m gay.

Also if someone from the affected group mentions they are uncomfortable with it, I think one should maybe step back and consider it before leaping in to defend it. We as vegans can’t just co-opt other people’s struggles and then dismiss those people when they call us out on it.

Also LGBT people get outed against their will all the time. So yes people very much would do that to an LGBT person.

[thecompassionatevegan]

Actually, I could be killed by family - Sicilian Mafia is a part of the family. I’m being dismissed for having a parallel of experiences I never said the same and parallels mathematically realistically never meet they’re always linlier with each other. I never said that I was the same I said it was like - like is a similarity. I’m done with this conversation and thank you for making me feel not welcomed in a community where we all ultimately have the same goal - to live in peace with each other having a some level of solidarity….

12 Reasons You Don’t Want to Clone Your Pet

So maybe your animal, who was of course the best animal in the whole goddamn world, died, and you’d do anything to bring them back. You heard about that cloning thing; it was so long ago that Dolly was cloned (1996, but announced 1997) that by now they should be able to clone your best friend with ease. In fact, plenty of dogs and cats and other animals have been cloned around the world. But let’s look at some facts about the pet cloning industry:

1. If your pet has died more than a few days ago, it is too late to save their cells for cloning. For those who are thinking about cloning, more people are opting to do a biopsy on their living pet to preserve the cells in the event of their death, or in the event that cloning becomes more affordable.

2. Prices fluctuate but it can cost $50,000-$150,000 to clone a dog and $35,000 to clone a cat, at least.

3. You don’t know if you will get zero, one, five, or more new pets. So you better have space for ten!

Keep reading

[helicopter-seeds]

while it was touched on here, I’d like to explicitly add that, ethically, cloning is a bit of an insult to the original animal, imo. it’s one thing to seek companionship in another animal from a shelter, but a completely different thing to actively try to REPLACE the EXACT specifications of the relationship you had with the original animal
