I know how you feel. I went from being a Hillary supporter because I supported her policies and appreciated the opportunity to elect our first female president to literally sobbing during her concession speech, probably because I identified so strongly and have seen it time and again - a fully capable, strong,…

That Trump is still alive more than a day after the election and she’s not measuring the drapes for the White House is proof enough that the conspiracy theories around her are just that.

Yep, they should have put the guy on the ballot who *lost the primary*, because somehow he was going to magically win the general election!

No one has ever actually answered this question in a straight-forward way; if Sanders lost the primary, by a significant amount, how exactly is he going to do better in the…

I am part German, and for as long as I can remember, Americans have asked me how on earth Hitler could have been elected in such an advanced and wealthy nation. Perhaps they will no longer have to ask.

As I’m comforting my Muslim spouse as she sobs about what this means for her, I don’t have time for nausea. I just want her to be okay. I want to live in a place where an interfaith lesbian couple with disabilities aren’t seen as the enemy. I’m tired of our lives hanging in the balance every goddamn election because…

by how close this is.

Ooh, ooh, I know — you’re confused because you actually have no idea what Hillary’s real stances are and just made up a thing in your head.

Yeah I’m apparently man-ing “wrong” too. I genuinely like her. She’s smart, tough, beyond qualified, impeccably prepared, never lets any of the BS thrown her way stop her policy goals. And the whole first woman president thing too is just so exciting. What’s not to like? She’s a boss. THE boss hopefully.

Ha ha, my (female) friend just wrote pretty much that exact screed on Facebook, talking about how her feelings, her innate inborn wisdom, were hurt by having to vote for Hillary, but she felt compelled to do so and now she feels sick and third party voters are heroes and Bernie Bernie Bernie. I had to click away…

It is astonishing that people don’t get this.

“I waited three hours to vote,” a female coworker announced proudly this morning. “Too bad your vote doesn’t matter,” responded a chorus of male voices.

I’m a blue dot in Texas. And while my vote might not matter right now, it might very well matter in the future. Voting now can set the tone for what our future can become. This little drop could one day become a small pond, a river, a lake.

Thank you for this article today. It perfectly sums up how disgusting I feel inside whenever someone who clearly won’t be that affected by the election results gets so high-and-mighty about their right to not vote. It’s obnoxious and a glaring example of privilege. It is such an odd position to see people take when I…

But it does matter. Even when your state is a sure thing for one candidate or the other, it still matters. Do you want to be one of the apathetic masses who never turn out and are not considered “likely voters” and are thus ignored when party platforms are decided? Do you want to be one of the couple of hundred votes…

Even leaving aside the importance - symbolic or otherwise - of electing a woman president - it’s absurd that anyone will have watched this election unfold and not understand that Trump and his army of trolls will be looking for any and every reason to question the legitimacy of the election, and we need to not just…

I don’t consider him a “liability” an apparently she doesn’t either. I don’t grasp the criticism of her decision to remain married to him: couples work through infidelity every day and stay married; I have close friends that have made similar (and different) choices. It’s their private business. Either way-she’s one…

I’ve worked a few retail/customer service jobs and man, it would be so much easier to be able to just talk to people about their pets. I think it probably helps to be in a self-selective environment like that- people who apply for a job in a pet store are almost certainly going to be at least pet-nuetral. I mean, I…

I grew up in a fairly small town in the south. Like, a few stoplights small. I’m a Christian as are most people in the area. I’ve since moved away to what I think is a “more progressive” area.

The hammer came down on them so hard it was excruciating to watch. But I think it went deeper than their outspokenness re Bush. It was also about their lack of interest in kissing the right (of course, male) asses in Nashville. Their music reflected a spirit of rugged, American individualism that threatened…

What galls me is that the Dixie Chicks were burned at the stake for saying that they are ashamed that GWB is from Texas, but Ted Nugent and others are calling for Obama and Hillary to be literally killed and that’s totally fine with the Dixie Chicks haters.
