Some random guy just taught another random guy how to tie his tie tonight in this Starbucks and that’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. He was struggling with it and had “an important event to get to”.

The guy showed him how to do it and then looped it around his neck and just did it himself because “it’ll be faster if I do it.”

I would’ve snapped a pic but I honestly hate when people put random strangers online like that.

BUT IT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE Y’ALL I MIGHT BE DEAD. MY FEELS. SOMEONE WRITE A FIC.

literally everyone: how old are you? lol
me: old enough to understand that you probably have an skewed, misguided, & outdated opinion of one direction because despite their efforts, their management still markets them to a very young demographic & people refuse to let them have any credibility or acknowledge their growth as musicians and also old enough to know that you're kind of a shitty person for being condescending over something i'm interested in

Okay buckle your seatbelts, because I just learned of a potentially really awesome thing

It’s called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) and it just might save America.

You see, the whole Electoral College system has gotten on people’s nerves over the years [citation needed/s], and some states have opted to allocate their Electoral votes to whoever wins the popular national vote, no matter what. The map of states that have signed that compact looks something like this:

All the green states are the ones have adopted the compact, and all the yellow states currently have the compact under review.

Furthermore, all the yellow states are states that Trump won. Turning those electoral votes over to Hillary, the winner of the popular vote, would give her the presidency.

Now the Electoral College apparently doesn’t actually cast their votes until December 19th, which means that if the compact is passed before then in those four states–Missouri, Arizona, Michigan, and (most importantly, as it has the largest number of Electoral votes) Pennsylvania–then those states’ Electoral votes will go over to Hillary and she will win the presidency.

Of course, that leaves just over a month to get four state governments to pass an agreement into law. In any normal situation, that would be nigh-impossible. But the nation is essentially in crisis mode right now, and with enough attention maybe this can get fast-tracked through. Or even if it doesn’t, drawing attention to the mere fact that this compact exists may help motivate Electorates to vote against their state and towards the overall will of the country.

Either way, share this information. There’s still time.
