also, everytime that philosophy has been tried, it’s ended with income inequality, massive debts, and recessions

I’ve seen my roommates weird-ass hentai and this is far more disturbing.

I’ve found the best way to handle mealtime is to begin muttering “this means something” over and over while sculpting a mound of mash potatoes on your plate.

And my republican family members are going to be serving smugness with a side of passive racism instead of turkey and jello salad this year

I’m with you, and I’m sure she’s in it to make the greens the “good guys” here, but i don’t fucking care. Just glad someone is doing it.

I also feel like the saviours are the borg. You will be assimilated or be killed. You serve the collective and are disposable. There is no other depth or purpose there.

I have enough problems with despair and abnegation in my day to day life, even before you consider the broader world of politics. The Walking Dead was never going to be what I wanted it to be (clever people find some triumph over impossible odds) so I stopped watching years ago. The stuff I’ve read since (and the…

How is there not an audit after every presidential election since the epic shitshow that was Bush/Gore?

YES YES YES THIS THIS THIS

Because I’m a navel-gazing liberal, I keep asking myself how I would react if the situation were reversed. If Trump had lost but his supporters were calling for recounts in key states with close results and this or similar evidence (they’re claiming illegal immigrants voted, not Russian hacking, right?).

I mean she literally has nothing left to lose while the country is standing to lose everything.

I’ve been avoiding these stories, because they’re too hopeful and 2016 has taught me that hope is lost.

Why not check them? If the results are the same, the right can go back to screaming SHUT UP WE WON to random Starbucks baristas and/or Broadway actors.
