“Stop pretending this is even a choice at all. It’s not.”
—Stephen Wilkes
“We have got to defeat Donald Trump and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine.”
—Bernie Sanders, who then was booed by spoiled children in Philly. Just now.
“I will tell you this much I am NOT losing my bodily autonomy because a bunch of wannabe Che Guevaras are putting on a dog and pony show for social media. Fuck you. It’s bad enough rape is basically legal for white dudes, but their feigned ideological purism is not more important than subverting a very real threat to my physical security. You really care? Protest the right wing fascists that crush our equality, not the only progressive politician who has fought for us in the big game.”

I thought about toning down this post a bit but fuck it.
These people think politics is just one big long exciting rally featuring a performance by Run the Jewels. NOW they find out they politics is messy, complex and nuanced and they are freaking the fuck out. I have zero empathy for know-nothing middle class white fake revolutionaries who want to fuck up ACTUAL progress because they didn’t have the votes to get 100% of their way.
We come from a generation that had to read multiple sources ON PAPER (which had a natural barrier to entry, being expensive and laborious) and triangulate our way to an opinion. NOW every idiot with a gut feeling can Google their way to a link that supports any dumb fucking thing they want to believe.
That said. Made this.
Grow up. There is much more at stake here than your feelings about the purity of your vote.
