I’m in bliss. I live for Morning on Spicey.

I assume like a lot of people, I was in huge denial up until the end, but two things really disturbed me:

The day after the election, when I found out that 62 million Americans walked into the voting booth, looked at the choice between “Hillary Clinton” and “Donald Trump”.....and somehow decided to pick “Donald Trump”.

Yassss to this. This is how I knew misogyny played such a huge role. My Mom asked me how this could happen and couldn’t believe so many of her friends voted for Trump. I told her that I don’t think people — this includes women — realize just how sexist they really are. I know a lot of those rust belt Democrats who…

So you saw the 20+ year campaign to drag her through the mud, and decided what? To do your part by using that as an excuse to vote against her? It’s probably more likely that you voted for Bernie because of his penis.

Karma is a boomerang, Bro. Bernie will get his when he fails again due to his failure to reach out to the 55% who didn’t support him!

This is the book I want to read. Call it “I Just Don’t Like Her For Some Reason,” and the last chapter should just be the words Institutionalized Sexism over and over.

If she were a man, she would have won.

I knew even before she became the nominee. Since 1950, the only party to hold three consecutive terms in office were the Republicans with Reagan and H.W. Bush. The Democratic candidate here would have faced an uphill battle no matter who became the nominee. I figured even if the Democrats bucked that historic trend…

It was when the Comey letter showed up. Up until then, I thought it was close but winnable. After the 10 days of speculation and gibberish between the arrival of the letter and the confirmation that there was nothing to see, I got the sinking feeling that there wasn’t enough time for her to battle back.

About a month before the election I was listening to the POTUS channel (Sirius) and a woman called in from NYC - she was a Hillary supporter, but her *liberal* husband wouldn’t vote for Hillary because she’s a woman. The caller said she didn’t think her husband was a sexist asshole, but whatdoyaknow?! I thought ‘how…

Except Clinton beat him about the head with those *exact same things*, and nobody seemed to care. And again, Clinton won among those who are supposed to have all of this economic anxiety; it was middle-class and wealthier whites that really swung towards Trump. You’re saying a fiery pro-labor liberal would have…

DING DING DING

From the beginning. I was a huge pessimist. Most of my age cohort, including me, voted for Bernie in the primaries (except my husband, who is a Libertarian and therefore doesn’t get a say) and a lot of them weren’t as gung-ho for Hillary. My very liberal best friend (white dude, Bernie voter, late 20s) recently told…

Three moments:

My heart sank when Comey made his announcement about investigating additional emails. I just felt like fate had it out for her. But I honestly believed she’d pull through until election night. When Florida’s results started rolling in. Fucking Florida.

Okay this confuses me. I’ve heard people say she should have picked a pro-labor, anti-free trade person in order to pick up the “Bernie” crowd; except then people turn around and insist it wasn’t independents/far-left people who “lost” Clinton the presidency, it was college-educated white folks that should have been…

No matter how much I joked about how Trump had “no chance,” I knew deep down that he did for the simple reason that it’s mainstream and “cool” to not like Hillary. We can debate how she lost all we want, but the simple fact is that she’s a deeply uncool and unlikable woman. Unlikable men sometimes get a chance (look…

I got the feeling when she announced Tim Kaine as her VP. This was the time to pick a firebrand pro-labor, anti-free trade person and she didn’t. At that moment, my “Oh Shit” alarm went off.

before the primaries were over. they’ve been trashing her for decades.
