Something that a lot of people don’t realize is that abusers are capable of being nice. Yes, abusers can do acts of kindness. These acts of kindness do not mean that they aren’t abusive. They’re still abusers.

If your parents constantly tell you that you’re worthless, but provide you with everything you want, they’re still abusive.

If your boyfriend screams at you whenever you do something he doesn’t like, but cuddles you and calls you beautiful, he’s still abusive.

If your friend threatens to never talk to you again when you try to talk to other people, but is always there for you when you need them, they’re still abusive.

Acts of kindness do not make up for their abuse. This is a method that abusers use to keep you attached to them and make you less likely to leave them. You are not a bad person for leaving someone if they cause constant harm to you. Their kindness does not outweigh the harm and pain they caused you. Their kindness does not justify their abuse. Abusers can do good things for their victims and still be abusers.

Abuse is *never* justifiable.

The idea that abusers are cartoon bad guys who are constantly terrible needs to die. Nobody would form an attachment to an abuser or find it difficult to leave one if they behaved badly all the time.

btw just because someone is involved with social justice doesnt automatically mean theyre a good/non-abusive/non-toxic person……..

theres tons of abusers and toxic people in social justice and activism in general and i cannot wait until we finally start talking about that

abusers are everywhere. they can fit into various environments completely undetected

Abusers market themselves as caring, charismatic, good community members to ensure that no one will believe their victims if they come forward. Social justice is the perfect safe haven for abusers.

BULLYING IS BULLYING NO MATTER WHO IT COMES FROM.

IT JUST HURTS A FUCKLOAD A LOT MORE WHEN ITS COMING FROM PEOPLE YOU TRUST

FUCK OFF.

#WRITEBERNIEIN

Won’t this, ya know, be a bad idea and give Trump an advantage over the Democratic Party altogether?

How so?

It splits a the democratic votes apart and that way, neither Dem candidate will get enough to win. If Bernie can’t even get the nom in the primary, why would he get enough write ins to stand a chance to win the Gen Election? Plus, there are some states where you can’t even write in. This is a Bad Idea. It’s unfortunate, but you can tell there’s a ton of Bernie supporters who are young/haven’t been taught enough about the full election process to make decisions accordingly.

ATTENTION! THIS IS A PSA! DO NOT WRITE BERNIE INTO THE BALLOT!

BERNIE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO WRITE HIM INTO THE BALLET! THAT’S WHY HE SAID HE’S NOT GOING TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT, BECAUSE HE “DOES NOT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTING SOME RIGHT-WING REPUBLICAN TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”  HIS. EXACT. WORDS.

(if you don’t want to watch the full video, the quote is at 1:41).

Listen, the last time something like this happened, Ralph Nader run in the Green party and split the Democratic votes between Nader and Gore. Which allowed for George W. Bush to become president. 

DO YOU WANT THE SAME THING TO HAPPEN TO TRUMP?

The two-party system sucks, but pretty much the way our system is set up, any vote that is not for the Democratic nominee will be for Trump. The only votes that count against Trump are for the Democratic nominee, whoever that may be. 

So don’t write anybody in. It’s throwing away your vote. You might think it’s a political statement and in another election I might advocate for it, but THERE IS THE LEGITIMATE CHANCE THAT DONALD TRUMP COULD BE ELECTED INTO OFFICE. And nobody, particularly not Hillary Clinton, is a bad enough alternative that it is worth running the risk. Remember what it was like when Bush was in office? Trump will be that times 1000x, with extra blatant xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and misandry thrown on top. 

I’m pro-Bernie, but I’m much more anti-Trump. Whoever runs against Trump in the Democratic party has my vote. I hope he or she has yours too. 

#anything-but-trump

If Trump gets in everyone has a problem, we act like this is just an American issue, but you are a superpower on the world scale who many countries depend on economically, politically etc, don’t let a racist idiot run your country, for all our sakes.

If Trump is elected the whole world is fucked. Just thinking about America’s geopolitical role being headed by this guy is scary.
If Bernie is not nominated, please for vote for the Democratic nominee. Splitting the democratic vote would only ensure Trump a win.
