Seriously. My dad had to pay poll taxes till he was almost thirty for the right to vote. Worked hard to give us a better life and that work has paid off.

Quit bitching about losing and start focusing on the down ticket. The Senate is up for grabs. If they got more “Bernie” types into Congress maybe things like TPP wouldn’t reach POTUS desk. Start your revolution at the state level. Where’s all the outrage towards Kansas and the Brownback trickle down gone bad…

I wanted to see Bernie win; I did not want to see his supporters boo and hiss their way through the convention and take away from what is without a doubt a historic moment. You guys, your issues are my issues - or are they? Because from where I’m standing Bernie’s done a great job of pushing those issues and now…

Women and minorities have been dutifully pulling the lever for white men for decades (when they were allowed to at all) and you never heard from them even a fraction of the hysterics that Sanders supporters have been displaying during the DNC because they didn’t get their #1 choice.

Donald Trump is the Witch King of Angmar. No man can slay him, as the Republican primaries have made clear.

To the diehard Bernie people crying in these comments and, according to my TV screen, literally crying at the convention:

My grandmother was 89 when she passed away a month ago and in hospice at the end when she was starting to be pretty unaware and we knew it would be over soon we just went ahead and told her Hillary had been elected and my grandmother, the lifelong democrat who went back to college in her 40s, was so happy. So we need…

Laughing out loud isn't ladylike. Having issues with someone not being ladylike is sexist

Because a) it’s not something she can really control, b) is a backhanded way of commenting on how she’s not ladylike, and c) it doesn’t have shit to do with her ability to govern.

I think it has more to do with comparing a woman to a scavenging animal that is generally used to represent “crazy” and less about her actually having a strange laugh.

Well a common sexist stereotype of woman in power is that they’re shrill.

because they are insinuating that her laugh is too loud, too aggressive, too much and she should be relegated to tiny giggles behind her hand like a good, docile woman would. I mean, can you believe her audacity to actually laugh her real laugh??

Girl, what? Please stop pretending that you did not know that Bernie supporters were overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male. It has been this way since Bernie announced his presidential candidacy. Not to mention that you are missing out on the larger point, these people (white + male) do not have anything to…

I dunno, Melania’s speech had a few really good sentences in it.

Part of the reason I never fell in line with Sanders was his abysmal showing with BLM and daring to claim Planned Parenthood is part of the establishment. There’s a reason that most people of color on the Dem side have been with Clinton since the beginning. Part of the generalization is the result of the facts of the…

There were a few times when you could see her take a breath to compose herself - she’s a magnificent speaker and you could really see the gravity of her mission and now passionately she believes in it.

I also thought she looked choked up. I think she just gets it - as someone who has helped break barriers already, seeing a woman she and her husband trust and have worked with, do it AGAIN, and to know the impact that could have on her daughters and little girls around the country and the world, that means a lot to…

Was it just me, or did she look/sound a little emotional when she said the line about her daughters being able to take for granted that a woman could be president? I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting that from her. Not because I don’t think Michelle would care about big milestones in women’s achievement, but just…

Funny how some self-professed progressives are going to “protest” the corrupt DNC by allowing their fellow women/minority citizens to experience the biggest setback to their constitutional rights in decades, if not centuries.

In Brazil (where I come from) there’s a multi-party system and we often talk about “the useful vote”- when you look at the political landscape, can’t find any ideal candidate (or your ideal candidate has zero chance of winning because he/she is polling at 5%) and there’s this one candidate who might win but really,…
