I live in Los Feliz and this poor young woman I know, who’s a hostess at a neighborhood restaurant/bar I frequent, is from Texas and has to go home for the holidays to a father and 25-year-old sister that both voted for Trump. She’s the sweetest person ever and is devastated. I feel so bad for her. She has a condition…

Right? One of the more laughable things that my brother-in-law keeps posting on Facebook is that all feminists should be thrilled that Trump won, because it means that Kellyanne Conway was the first woman to ever run a winning presidential campaign. It’s like saying that cattle at the slaughter should be grateful for…
I. Live. In. Eastern. Kentucky.... Before the election I didn’t see one Hillary sign until I made it to Lexington for a doctor’s appointment (100+ mile trip for me).
THANK YOU. I was born and raised in a working class, post-industrial region. I don’t call myself working-class because my parents were upwardly-mobile and me and my sister were the first generation in our family to attend post-secondary education. But on behalf of my working-class relatives and friends, I am sick and…
And other people don’t like being called rapists, murderers, and terrorists, but I guess their feelings don’t matter as much.
I see your point, and I hear what you’re saying.
Oh, Pence is a fucking nightmare, but presidents tend to moderate once in office and I trust him much more than Trump from a national security perspective.
He’s got Stephen Bannon on the staff. He’s inviting in a bunch of other white supremacists. Trump hasn’t betrayed his base. Making America Great Again is just code for Making America White Again. They’ll be please so long as minorities are miserable.
they liked Trump for something deeper and less specific than the promises he made
Lauren, can you please mention that Steve Bannon is a white supremacist and anti-semitic in your story. It’s a huge deal.
I was upset about Reince (a bad guy and the most establishment of establishment Republicans), until I saw that Bannon — a sexist, racist, anti semitic, anti-LGBQT, shit heel of a man — will have the ear of a child with impulse control for the next 4 years.
And this talk of Bernie 2020 (assuming he’s even around by then) would be the quickest way to ensure 8 years of Trump outside of running Hillary again.
I’m not angry people didn’t get on board. I’m angry that we, the people of color were not listened to. We were laughed at and not just by George Stephanopolis, but by our coworkers and friends. I hate that so many “allies” laughed and told those of us not laughing that we didn’t get the joke or were being too serious.…
You mean the status quo set by the Obama administration? The one that rescued the auto industry, insured millions (albeit an imperfect plan- thanks Republican Congress), served as a buffer against the complete loss of women’s rights in the face of open Republican hostility, and established a coalition for law…
Serious question: are people just letting Lorne & Co off the hook for being one of the first non-news outlets to truly normalize him? Jimmy Fallon got more shit for ruffling Trump’s hair than SNL got for giving him the front and center on NBC’s flagship comedy show.
Keep in mind on the turnout front that in key swing states with Republican legislatures, there has been heavy voter suppression going on, in particular with black voters and in heavily Democratic areas. The North Carolina GOP bragged about suppressing the black vote by something like 8%, which they achieved through a…
It’s easy to say you’ll vote for someone who isn’t running because you’ll never have to do it. Just like the Bros who weren’t sexist because they would vote for Elizabeth Warren. Yeah, right. Actually vote for a woman and then we’ll talk.
Bernie Sanders is liked and respected by who, exactly?
Yeah I am really goddamn done with the Bernie Bros.
