Man, people sure have a strange way of expressing their economic insecurity.

No puppet, no puppet. You’re the puppet.

I am a cisgendered heterosexual white male. I have nothing to lose in a Trump America.

I felt such incredible pride watching her concede—never have I admired her more than her confronting the greatest wall of adversity any of us has ever faced in public life. She was truly presidential through each oncoming wave of adversity and malice, starting 18 months ago. She WAS the president during her speech,

You ask me, supporting a racist rapist who has zero policies and only stokes bigotry and hatred makes someone a pretty terrible person. But, then again, I’m a queer woman whose friends are largely women, queer folks, and POCs. You know, the people Trump and his followers hate and plan to punish for existing.

Yep, so much navel gazing by the dudes, all of whom are of course white men, the only ones who can afford to navel gaze about this election.

I wish it was a surprise that all the female staff are upfront about voting for Hillary while a lot of the (mostly white) male staff either aren’t voting for either candidate because they’re not in a contested state or have to “hold their nose” to vote for her.

Good kinja

It’s astonishing isn’t it?

“Voting is fine, but it’s not enough about me. How can I make it less about other people and more about my perception of myself?”

Of course it’s a drop in the bucket, but don’t tell me for a second that if the rolls were reversed Sanders supporters wouldn’t jump on this as another opportunity to paint Clinton as being wasteful and out-of-touch with the working man. He needs to drop out. He’s not nearly as close as Clinton was to Obama in ‘08,

Taxpayers.

Hm. I’m getting what you’re putting down. When you guys go out, does he usually pay? Does he make dinner for you or do anything that would acknowledge you as someone he is grateful to have in his life? From your other discussions, it sounds like he’s bad with emoting and possibly picking up social cues? You seem like

I hear you. My husband is like that, too. It's from his WASPy upbringing. Like, he never buys me cut flowers because he says it's a waste since they die, but I do have 3 beautiful rose bushes he's planted for me for various holidays/anniversaries. He shows me he loves me in different ways.

I was in an identical relationship for 2 years (too long), and he had to be the one to break it off. I thanked him for doing so, because I never could. He was the first guy that I admired and loved, even with all his flaws. But he had the emotional intelligence of a corpse. He was incapable of showing affection.

Oh this is rich. I just checked my OKC messages and I got a two-word message from a guy I hooked up with on the site a few years ago. It just said, “Oh my.”
