THE WISCONSIN PRIMARY ON TUESDAY, APRIL 5TH IS WINNER TAKE ALL DELEGATES

SO THAT MEANS IF BERNIE WINS, HE GETS ALL 96 DELEGATES

THAT WOULD GIVE HIM A YUUUUUUUUUUUUGE BOOST TO BEATING HILLARY

HE WOULD HAVE 1076 DELEGATES AND HILLARY WOULD HAVE 1243

THAT MEANS THAT HE WOULD ONLY NEED 167 MORE TO CATCH UP TO HER PLEDGED DELEGATE COUNT

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE, THEN FRICKING. VOTE.

canada’s pride and joy is a

doughnut shop named after and founded by a hockey player in the 1960s 

for all you non-canadian’s who think I’m exaggerating: 

• “Tim Hortons holds 62% of the Canadian coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the number two position, at 7%) 
• “Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita and have more doughnut outlets per capita than any other nation“ 
• “The company [Tim Hortons] opened twice as many Canadian outlets as McDonald’s and system-wide sales also surpassed those of McDonald’s Canadian operations as of 2002”
• “The chain accounted for 22.6% of all fast food industry revenues in Canada in 2005.”

there is more to this story and it actually gets better

tim horton the hockey player’s signature move was literally picking opposing players up and hugging them. the guy was like 6?5 on skates, built like a tank, would have come out on top in every hockey fight except that he absolutely refused to punch. someone would hit him and he’d just pick them up in a giant, angry bear hug. 

this one time he broke his jaw and leg in a collision and was off the ice for years, and this freaked him tf out, because dude bro do i like…….have value behind all this muscle? what if this like……happens again, bro? what if i can’t play hockey, bro? huh? bro. basically he broke his face and had an existential crisis. happens to the best of us.

so he started a donut shop because he figured he’d need something to do when the next injury rolled around, seeing as oblivion lurks around every corner and none of us have a purpose. he started it in hamilton, ontario. coffee was ten cents. 

anyways, when his face got better, he invited a police officer to come run his company so he could go play more hockey. which he did.

so: canada’s pride and joy is a donut shop named after and founded by a touch-starved hockey player in the midst of an existential crisis, that was later run by a cop when the aforementioned hockey player left to play more hockey, that then somehow ate up 62% of the canadian coffee biz. god bless.

When I was in 8th grade a friend of mine and I were fucking around during our study period and he accidentally stabbed me in the arm with a pencil and the pencil was partially stuck in my arm but I was really shy in social situations so I just raised my hand and waited for the teacher to notice which took about five minutes so when he finally asked me what I needed I said “TJ accidentally stabbed me with a pencil a few minutes ago and now it’s hanging out of my arm, can I go see the nurse?”. He freaked out and yelled “OH MY GOD SEBASTIAN WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME RIGHT AWAY?” And I said right back “please don’t yell at me, I have a pencil in my arm, if anyone is yelling it should be me” and that sums up my attitude and personality fairly well tbh

Being gay is natural? Okay.

You have three islands. Divide them into groups of one. The straight island, the gay island, and the lesbian island. The straight island is going to reproduce and keep going strong for millions of generations to come. The gay and lesbian islands will both wipe out in not even one century. This isn’t just about religion or morals, it’s just simple common sense. Being gay is unnatural, and not just because God said so, but because you yourself wouldn’t even be born without a REAL natural man and woman. And no, there is no such thing as a lesbian bone marrow “thing” to have children. That’s a biased fact that came from a lesbian scientist who has false opinions. If it’s not a real penis or vagina, then it’s fucking false and you’re just opinionated by dumb facts. I’m done here. Read over what I said and if you still think that being gay is normal and natural, then I hope you achieve some common sense one day. Bye

Where is this gay island located.. asking for a friend

I just have SO MANY questions. Why were we all separated onto different islands? Did the government sanction this? If so, why? Why didn’t we revolt against this tyrannical government? Where are these islands? How were they chosen? Are the continents of the world abandoned? What kind of resources are on each island? Are they the same or different? Does each island have a right to form its own government or does the government that segregated us still rule? If so, what island do they rule from and how do they communicate with the other two islands? If they can communicate with the other two islands, can all three islands communicate with each other? If the straight people keep reproducing, won’t their island become overpopulated and their resources depleted? Islands only have so much space right? Do straight people stop having gay kids? Isn’t it a fact that, to date, straight people are the largest manufacturers of gay kids? If a gay kid is born on straight island, do they get sent to their appropriate island? Wouldn’t that aid in the re-population of gay and lesbian island? What about people who are attracted to more than one gender? Are they just lost at sea, floating aimlessly? Is the ocean full of listless pansexuals, floating nowhere? Or are they trapped in some sort of purgatory because they don’t fit on any one island? Are there trees on lesbian island? Is it conceivable that if there were, a large group of lesbians could build a boat? Have you ever seen lesbians around timber? If they built a boat, could they travel to gay island? How far apart are the islands? If they could travel to gay island, would they be able to collect semen, return to lesbian island, and repopulate the island? Would they be able to send some of those children to gay island? Do trans people exist in this world? If so, wouldn’t they be able to aid in repopulation? If the lesbians decided to declare war on the heterosexuals, would they be able to reach their island? On the way to heterosexual island, could the lesbians pick up the gays and scoop the floating bisexuals from the sea? If so, would they all be able to go and attack heterosexual island together, wiping out its people’s, stealing its children and taking all its resources? Does this fantasy world get you off at night? Please write back soon!

Speaking up from the pansexual archipelago: I too have these questions

Checking in from bisexual bay: The boats are nearly complete and are equipped with a special invisibility function. We attack at dawn

Fuck the questions, lemme on that boat, I’m coming with you

*random ace just floating away into the sky like a balloon*

I am so here for an asexual sky nation. We live in floating cities and master the wind currents. Newly minted ace youths are sent up to us in baskets suspended under hot air balloons. We breed giant birds to bear us through the skies, or else build ourselves wings and gliders to fly in their midst. The only land we know are the tallest mountain peaks and the world is a bright blue gem spreading out beneath us.

(And we will of course be providing air support for the impending attack on Straight Island)

OP’s nasty-ass post got turned into a goddamn sci-fi dystopian adventure and I’m so here for it.

oh my god Bisexual Buccaneers from Both-Ways Bay is both a porn tile and my new life goals

i’m an asexual homoromantic does this make me our young heroine torn between worlds

You spend part of your time on lesbian island, learning the stories, and traditions, and part of your time in the vast floating asexual cities, training with your eagle so that you can one day become one of the chosen few: the messengers, who carry letters and passengers between islands, jumping the heterosexual blockades. When you enter this select group, you’re assigned the job of collecting reports from spies pretending to heterosexual on straight island, flying in at the dead of night, risking discovery to collect vital intelligence. You fall in love with a pansexual girl who’s chosen to hide her orientation so she can aid the Resistance. At the climax of the novel, you swoop down from above on your giant eagle to rescue your lady love from a frenzied mob. As straight island burns in the background, you share a chaste kiss and cuddle while discussing the possibility of a mountain-top pansexual outpost.

IT CAME BACK AROUND AND IT GOT BETTER!

but then everything changed when the heterosexuals attacked

“Bernie did well last weekend but he can’t possibly win the nomination,” a
friend told me for what seemed like the thousandth time, attaching an article from the Washington Post that shows how
far behind Bernie remains in delegates.

Wait a minute. Last Tuesday, Sanders
won 78 percent of the vote in Idaho and 79 percent in Utah. This past Saturday,
he took 82 percent of the vote in Alaska, 73 percent in Washington, and 70
percent in Hawaii.

In fact, since March 15, Bernie has won six out of the seven Democratic
primary contests with an average margin of victory of 40 points. Those
victories have given him roughly a one hundred additional pledged delegates. 

As of now, Hillary Clinton has 54.9
percent of the pledged delegates to Bernie Sanders’s 45.1
percent.That’s still a sizable gap – but it doesn’t make Bernie an impossibility.

Moreover, there are 22 states to go with nearly 45 percent of pledged delegates still up for grabs – and Bernie has positive momentum in almost all of them.

Hillary Clinton’s lead in superdelegates will vanish
if Bernie gains a majority of pledged delegates.

Bernie is outpacing Hillary Clinton in fundraising. In February, he raised
$42 million (from 1.4 million contributions, averaging $30 each), compared to
her $30 million. In January he raised $20 million to her $15 million.

By any measure, the enthusiasm for Bernie is huge and keeps growing. He’s
packing stadiums, young people are flocking to volunteer, support is rising
among the middle-aged and boomers.

In Idaho and Alaska he
exceeded the record primary turnout in 2008, bringing thousands of new voters. He
did the same thing in Colorado, Kansas, Maine, and Michigan as well.

Yet if you read the Washington Post or the New York
Times, or watch CNN or even MSNBC, or listen to the major pollsters and
pundits, you’d come to the same conclusion as my friend. Every success by
Bernie is met with a story or column or talking head whose message is “but he
can’t possibly win.”

Some Sanders supporters speak in dark tones about a media conspiracy against Bernie. That’s baloney. The mainstream media are
incapable of conspiring with anyone or anything. They wouldn’t dare try. Their
reputations are on the line. If the public stops trusting them, their brands
are worth nothing.

The real reason the major media can’t see what’s happening is
because the national media exist inside the bubble of establishment politics, centered in
Washington, and the bubble of establishment power, centered in New York.

As such, the major national media are interested mainly in personalities and in the money
behind the personalities. Political reporting is dominated by stories about the
quirks and foibles of the candidates, and about the people and resources behind them.  

Within this frame of reference, it seems nonsensical that a 74-year-old Jew from
Vermont, originally from Brooklyn, who calls himself a Democratic socialist,
who’s not a Democratic insider and wasn’t even a member of the Democratic Party
until recently, who has never been a fixture in the Washington or Manhattan circles
of power and influence, and who has no major backers among the political or
corporate or Wall Street elites of America, could possibly win the nomination.

But precisely because the major media are habituated to paying attention to
personalities, they haven’t been attending to Bernie’s message – or to its
resonance among Democratic and independent voters (as well as many
Republicans). The major media don’t know how to report on movements.

In addition, because the major media depend on the wealthy and powerful for revenues,
because their reporters and columnists rely on the establishment for news and access, because their top media
personalities socialize with the rich and powerful and are themselves rich and powerful, and because their publishers and senior
executives are themselves part of the establishment, the major media have come
to see much of America through the eyes of the establishment.  

So it’s understandable, even if unjustifiable, that the major media haven’t
noticed how determined Americans are to reverse the increasing concentration of
wealth and political power that have been eroding our economy and democracy. And it’s understandable, even if unjustifiable, that they continue to marginalize Bernie Sanders.

Repeat this over and over again until blood comes out of their fucking ears:

The real reason the major media can’t see what’s happening is
because the national media exist inside the bubble of establishment politics, centered in
Washington, and the bubble of establishment power, centered in New York.
