The point of voting blue in 2018 isn’t to make the US perfect. We cannot accomplish that in one fell swoop. There’s gerrymandering, voter apathy, voter suppression, and generations of older party-line fucks we have to deal with.

Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less immediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.

Correcting politics in the United States is going to take decades of new voters staying on top of politics and not falling prey to apathy, like our predecessors. 

People telling you not to waste a vote on 3rd Party this midterm aren’t saying “never vote 3rd party.” Republicans have united behind one utterly heinous front. We need to unite behind Democrats, for the time being.

Repeating this key sentence:

“Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less immediately threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic [WOMEN]. It’s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.”

Reblogging in the memory of everyone who said to me, 2 years ago, “how much damage can he do?” and “it’s like choosing the lesser of two evils” and “you’re overreacting” and “he won’t get elected it’ll never happen”.

I have no idea what the fuck is going on with the critics, but the fact that in both Venom and Bohemian Rhapsody the critic consensus was extremely different to the public opinion says a lot.

cos critics don’t like anything gay

every negative review of bohemian rhapsody i’ve heard and read so far has actually specifically mentioned that it is a shallow and offensive reading of freddie’s life and identity in large part because of its gay-shaming depiction of his sexuality as being little more than a partying vice he was lured into by stereotypically predatory producers. critics felt that the film was the surviving members of queen’s revenge on freddie for still being the most iconic element of their band’s collaboration. critics do often miss the mark of what makes a movie enjoyable for general audiences (though that’s not typically what they’re analyzing or who they’re writing for) but this is one where it would behoove you to actually read the reviews before casting a judgment. you’ll find that this time they’re in agreement with you.
