having ocs is weird

some of them are just like ideas and concepts while others are like people living inside your head demanding a nice room and snacks and attention and occasionally they poke you in the feelings when you’re least expecting it

some of them you spend forever coaxing out from a dark corner of your mind with some candy and some of them are always up in your shit

guys the democrats losing the senate isn’t a sign of anyone failing. the senate is stacked towards conservatives anyways, and it needs to be changed. or abolished. we’re sweeping the house, that’s the body of government that represents the will of the people because representation is proportionate to population. don’t be upset about the senate. we did it, we stood up and we voted, against gerrymandering, against voter suppression, against ill-equipped polls, we went out and we spoke out and no one should see this as a loss because it’s not. 

Conservatives all over the internet are bawling right now that the House now can (and will) completely block Trump’s wall and many of his other plans, so yes, big and very important victory last night that happened because tons and tons of you voted this time.

Reasons why tonight was actually good:

1. WE TOOK BACK THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE. Look, in a perfect world we would have flipped the Senate too BUT this means that things are not just going to materialize for our dear friend Donald McTrump. This means oversight and investigations and a better grip from our legislative branch on a system wide check and balance. BOOM.

2. The fact that we got so close in states that Republicans have been gerrymandering the fuck out of for YEARS now is actually really impressive and it just means that we have to keep working but we’re whittling away at things. It can be done, is what I’m saying.

3. SO. MUCH. DIVERSITY. Women in record numbers! People of different faiths, younger people, native people, LGBT people, gang’s all here! We’re slowly dissolving the old white dudes in power thing.

4. So many AMAZING proposals are passing. Massachusetts upheld trans rights. Florida restored voting rights. Michigan legalized marijuana AND took the most comprehensive voting reform IN THE FUCKENING COUNTRY AND MADE IT LAW!

Good things are happening. They are. They. Are.

We just have to keep going.
