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.”
humans getting a reputation amongst the galaxy for doing totally absurd and reckless things, like making absolutely ridiculous flight paths through asteroid belts, or hitting warp speed for a five mile trip, or devoting 90% of the power of a ship’s onboard computer to their personal laptop so they can torrent abba’s discography, or mixing rocket fuel with mentos to see what happens
and at first other species are like….. okay we’d better not have humans on the crew if they’re this dangerous….. but then when they notice the humans are actually getting a lot more done and advancing super fast because they take such absurd risks “just to see if it works” it becomes commonplace to have a group of at least four humans on every ship in the fleet
no other species previously had a word in their language that equated to “fuck it” but within a century “fuck it” is regarded as an immensely wise proverb
Scenario One
“Now we must be careful as there is still the question of how territorial the wildlife in this area is-“ The jalaxian fleet commander says, standing in front of their crew, ready to lead a slow and calculated expedition through an unexplored forest on an uncharted world.
“SPACE PUPPIES!” The human medic exclaims, barging past, picking up a small tentacled beast. It appears to be friendly, welcoming the contact.
“… Well, I suppose that answers that.”
Scenario Two
Zampushian: “Captain! The space pirates are hot on our tail and with their firepower we could never hope to outrun them! I can send a beacon to the fleet-”
Human: “Nah. It’s cool. Just put all the power to the shields.”
Zampushian: “But Captain-”
Human: “Trust me, dude!”
[The Zampushian transfers all available power to the shield modules. The ship, unable to move now, slows to a halt. The space pirate ship barrels forwards and crashes into the ship, exploding on impact, with no damage to the fleet ship.]
Human: “See? Everything’s chill. Do we have any chips left?”
Scenario Three
An Ungrampish crew member working aboard a multi-species fleet ship goes into the ship’s cargo bay to move some equipment. Tye (that’s the pronoun they use on Ungramp) is greeted by the sight of a human eating an entire Ungrampish chilli pepper, the hottest in the known universe, just to see what happens.
Scenario Two Point Five
Zampushian: “Captain… That shouldn’t have worked.”
Human: “It did, though.”
Zampushian: “I mean scientifically. It shouldn’t have worked. There’s no way the ship could have slowed to a halt like that. There’s no friction in space. That was scientifically impossible.”
Human: “I don’t know, dude. It worked back home with bumper cars and a spaceship is just like a big bumper car. Like, dude, pretty much anything works if you’re just confident it’s gonna.”
[The captain leaves. Probably going to get chips or a really hot pepper.]
Ungrampish Engineer: “That’s either incredibly wise or the most nonsensical bullshit of all time.”
Any time a reporter asks Kent about the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, he just deflects by expressing confusion that it wasn’t more like America’s Next Top Model.
“It was great to go first, but I thought Tyra Banks was gonna be there. I really worked on my walk, but they cut the runway challenge. Got some great pictures, though.”
20$ says he lost his shit when Tyra tweeted “@kvp91 sorry I wasn’t there. Walk was great. Work on the #smize”
all’a y’all can think what you like but i would 100% rather have uncle rick’s “trying too hard” representation than everyone else’s “i don’t think you tried at all” bullshit
