if you’re in america and you’re eligible to vote…… i’m begging you to vote for hillary like literally begging
I wouldn’t vote for either of them. They’re both keeping secrets and will both turn this country to absolute shit.
anyway vote for hillary instead of throwing your vote away
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.
“This election draws into relief how women are penalized for not being perfect while men are rewarded for not being terrible.”
Simone Biles is officially a superstar and a scientific marvel.When Biles pulls off her signature move, her distance from the floor is basically equal to her height. She gets that high up on the strength of her muscles, propelling herself with enough speed and kinetic energy to actually reach that height. And the way she lands literally seems to defy physics.
Guys, the New York Times just dropped a bombshell regarding Trump and his tax returns. According to the Times in an article published today,
“Donald J. Trump declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years…the $916 million certainly could have eliminated any federal income taxes Mr. Trump otherwise would have owed on the $50,000 to $100,000 he was paid for each episode of “The Apprentice,” or the roughly $45 million he was paid between 1995 and 2009 when he was chairman or chief executive of the publicly traded company he created to assume ownership of his troubled Atlantic City casinos. Ordinary investors in the new company, meanwhile, saw the value of their shares plunge to 17 cents from $35.50, while scores of contractors went unpaid for work on Mr. Trump’s casinos and casino bondholders received pennies on the dollar.”
This man is nothing more than a fat cat criminal who scams people and doesn’t pay his fair share! Read the full article HERE and please please please, if you live in the US, go out and vote in November! We CANNOT allow this crook to get into the White House.
I’ve never actually voted in person, because I’ve been in college and grad school, and I’ve never bothered to change my registration (for various reasons, including refusing to become a citizen of a state where human rights don’t seem to matter *cough* TEXAS *cough*). So, I fully endorse voting by mail. It’s so easy and painless. I have friends that do this, too, just because they don’t have time to make the trek to a polling place or wait in line.
“Wait, how do I even register? Maybe I already am registered? I don’t knowwww.”
Go here or to one of the other 5,000 websites that can help you register.
“Ughhh, but voting by mail sounds complicated. How do I do that?”
Do you know what Google is? Google is your friend. Seriously. Just type “how to vote by mail” into Google, and a nifty widget has ALL THE ANSWERS. Use the drop down menu to choose your state. Some counties will have online applications that make things easier (like I personally use the online Los Angeles County application that takes 30 seconds to fill out).
“But I’m homeless. Can I still vote?”
YES, YOU CAN. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE. This website has all the info you need.
“Ok, I did it. What now?”
Please reblog this! Make your friends do it! Stay informed! Eat some pizza!
y’all, i do Vote By Mail
i make my selections in the comfort of my home, as slowly as i need to make them
and then on election day, i walk into a polling place and drop off my ballot and get a sticker
it’s great why doesn’t everyone do this
In the great state of Washington, voting by mail is the default. You can do it early! You can drop it off on the day-of! You can track your vote through the mail! (or so I’m told, I haven’t done that yet).
I miss the chug-chug of old-style voting booths, but I gotta say, voting by mail is a hell of a lot more satisfying than voting by electronic machine.
