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”.

(No, don’t shoot me.)

Let’s talk about how the Master wants the Doctor to shoot Rassilon as much to have the fact that he was used and duped all his life, when he values his autonomy so much, validated by the Doctor.  

Let’s talk about how “you never would, you coward” is a bluff of courageous defiance when really he is terrified and his expression, his eyes, plead for the Doctor to comply.  His words command, but his face begs and his face pleads.  

Let’s talk about how that little shake of his head in the second to last gif proves that. 

This is the closest they ever came to reconciliation without any force involved, and it kills me.  It kills me.

It bothers me that Missy’s looking down and the “still bad” Master is capable of looking the Doctor in the eye.  It implies shame and deference on her part and those emotions shouldn’t be so inextricable from this stage of her redemption.  I don’t like how Simm Master’s defiance is equated with evil and Missy’s complacency is equated with good.  That’s now how a redemption arc works.  

Missy’s own line about how the Doctor’s idea of good is not universal should have been more in evidence in the Series Ten finale.
