She is literally the only thing standing in the way of a fascist dictator becoming President of the United States with a Republican majority congress that guarantees he can do anything he wants and nothing will be able to stop him.

I was and still am a Bernie supporter, and I hate a lot of things about Clinton, but none of that matters anymore. If Trump is elected, people are going to die. Women are going to die when Roe v Wade is overturned and Planned Parenthood is defunded. LGBTQ people are going to die when conversion therapy is further legalized and more bathroom bills are passed. POC are going to die as Trump rounds up Mexican immigrants, gives more power to the police, and fuels the fires of Islamaphobia. Poor people are going to die as Obamacare gets overturned and further cuts are made to welfare programs. And that’s just in this country. That’s not even taking account the all-too-likely outcomes of Trump starting new wars in the Middle East and having control of nuclear bombs that he’s said he ‘would not rule out’ using.

Bernie supporter? Bernie says that now is not the time for a protest vote. Bernie tells you why you should vote for Hillary Clinton. Bernie says that Trump must not become president.

YOU SAY VOTE with Jesse Williams

even bernie sanders is saying please, no, don’t write me in, this is not the time for a protest vote. you gonna listen to trump instead of bernie? you gonna support bernie by ignoring everything he says?

THERE WORST CASE SCENARIO OF PLAUSIBILITY IF HILLARY IS PRESIDENT? WE GET ANOTHER FOUR YEARS LIKE WE HAD UNDER BUSH 2 OR UNDER NIXON.

Guys, please bear in mind that this isn’t just a presidential election. Even if you’re sure your state is going to Clinton or Trump and you won’t be able to affect anything, we’re also having elections for various other positions depending on your location.

This post is to show you how to inform yourself about who’s on your ballot and how to research their positions.

If you Google “ballot” (or “[your state] ballot”) then Google will show you a widget that asks you to input your street address.

It’ll give you a list of candidates running for national, state, and local positions. Then you can research them and find out their views.

You might also have new laws to vote on:

Ballotpedia also has a sample ballot tool with a lot more information, but you have to input an email.

You can also use Ballotpedia to research your candidates and find out things like their voting history, political experience, and instances where they’ve appeared in the news.

If you’re a Bernie fan, remember this post on how Sanders will likely become head of the Senate Budget Committee if the Democrats take the Senate. Also, even if your area is strongly red or strongly blue and you think a certain candidate will win in a landslide, your local politicians will notice a loud minority. Your vote in Tuesday’s election is important.

CA: please that guy makes ME look like the sufferer

CA: and if youre one a those people wwho wwants to “protest” the vvote or wwhatevver keep in mind there are a lot of wways to do that besides puttin bigoted shoutin carrots in positions a powwer

like????? trump has literally never held a political office in his life, he doesnt understand how the government works, he’s a terrible person, he literally does not know what he’s talking about on any issues, and he’s literally admitted to sexual assault and is currently at this moment facing charges of child rape. also none of his business ventures have actually been successful, while his whole campaign revolves around the concept that he is a good businessman.

meanwhile, hillary’s not perfect, but neither is obama??? or any president???????? any president we have is going to be inherently problematic, bc the presidency is a position of power within a fucked up capitalistic imperialistic system. but at least she’s fuckign qualified and educated on the topics she talks about and does genuinely want to do some good in the world. 

Cop forces disabled Black man to get off the cable car (run by SFMTA) because the driver is afraid of his pitbull service dog.

In a viral video shared by San Francisco resident and attorney Gina Tomaselli, a man with a pit bull is seen sitting in a cable car as he argues with a San Francisco Police Department Officer. The operator “refused to drive the cable car unless the disabled man got off the car — even after he presented written documentation of the dog’s status, and then issues him a citation.”

Trained service animals are allowed to ride free of charge on all Muni vehicles, and service dogs may travel without a muzzle but “must be under the control of their owners,” the policy reads, and service animals must ride on their owner’s lap, under the owners seat, or as “far out of the aisle as possible,” and animals may not occupy a seat.

We can clearly see that the dog is calmly sitting on its owner’s lap.

This behavior towards DISABLED Black man is totally unacceptable. In America this could only happen to a person of color. They wouldn’t dare to ask a white person with disabilities to disembark the cable car and nobody would call him asshole.

Please, share.

To anyone who still thinks that Gary Johnson is a “replacement” for Bernie Sanders and a “worthy” person to throw your vote away on instead of voting for Hillary, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but you’re misinformed.

If you throw away your vote on Johnson, not only will you split the Democratic vote and risk a horrific Trump presidency (read up about how 3rd Party candidate Ralph Nader helped George W. Bush win in 2000), you will also be voting for someone who is deadset is AGAINST most of the important positions that both Bernie and Hillary stand for.

Gary Johnson is basically a Republican who supports the legal use of weed. But at his core, he is a Republican. He’s not a true Libertarian, and he sure as hell isn’t a progressive.

In every case, you would be much better off voting for Hillary, since she will fight for Bernie’s platform.

Here are just a few examples:

1) Bernie and Hillary want a $15 minimum wage. Johnson wants no minimum wage.

2) Bernie and Hillary want free college for students from families making less than $125,000 per year. Johnson wants to eliminate the Department of Education.

3) Bernie and Hillary support action to combat climate change. Johnson supports no action to combat climate change, and says that it doesn’t matter anyway, because one day the Sun will destroy the Earth (WTF???)

4) Bernie and Hillary want to overturn Citizen’s United. Johnson wants to expand corporate power and supports Citizens United.

5) Bernie and Hillary oppose TPP. Johnson supports TPP.

6) Bernie and Hillary want to expand Social Security. Johnson wants to eliminate it.

7) Bernie and Hillary want to expand Medicare. Johnson wants to dismantle Medicare.

To sum this up, if you are a progressive, liberal-leaning person and you vote for Gary Johnson, you are voting for someone who is literally the antithesis of what Bernie stands for. On the other hand, if you vote for Hillary, you are voting for someone who SUPPORTS Bernie’s core issues and will fight for progressive change in this country.

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR VOTE ON JOHNSON. HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT.

and besides that, her proposed methods of tackling the issues are different from his, and nearly impossible to implement, and significantly less likely to work effectively

and besides that she has nowhere near the amount of political experience that hillary does (or bernie, for that matter, since u say they’re so similar)

and besides that, there’s no fuckgn reason to vote for a candidate that can’t possibly win, especially when the stakes are this high

and besides that, jill stein’s crammed full of pseudoscientific fearmongering bullshit wrt vaccines (source: x, x), wi-fi poisoning (source: x, x) , and GMOs (source: x), and was initially pro-brexit (source: x), so…fairly big yikes

women’s rights (source: x, x)

lgbt+ rights (source: x, x)

immigrant rights (source: x, x)

disability rights (source: x)

workers’ rights (source: x)

veterans’ rights (source: x)

voting rights (source: x)

criminal justice reform (source: x, x, x)

debt-free college (source: x)

gun control (source: x, x)

addressing environmental concerns (source: x, x)

clean energy (source: x, x)

fairer taxes (source: x)

families and children: (source: x, x, x)

improving rural communities (source: x)

expanding social security (source: x)

helping small businesses (source: x)

etc. etc.

also, hillary’s changed her stances on both the tpp (source: x) and fracking (source: x). granted, the latter stance still isn’t ideal, but it’s undeniably a step up, and that she’s changed it at all means she’s willing to evolve her positions as she gains more knowledge and perspective–so, there’s potential for lobbying her even further left

that potential doesn’t exist with donald trump–and he will be elected if the democratic vote is split, which will happen if left-leaning voters vote third-party. it sure as fuck did in 2000

also, that you said stein only needs 5% of the vote to get the green party federal funding + on the ballot in 2020 indicates that that 5% of the vote is your end goal in voting for her, not an actual stein presidency, which is ridiculously irresponsible. there’s no reason to vote for someone you don’t even remotely expect to win, especially, again, when the stakes are this high
