Slightly different take on that first one here. I was in the same situation for years: the sex was bad and my partner was unwilling or unable to improve. Even got into a fight now and then, with a memorable “why can’t we just keep doing this way” line thrown in. Recently we had a breakthrough though. I somehow managed…

Totally agree with this. I won’t bore you with my personal life, but let’s just say that I have had a long, serious and bad relationship with great sex, and a loving, supportive marriage where the sex is only ok. And I’d take the latter every time.

We recently had a young Asian American Democrat woman win a historically Republican seat because she worked her ass off and went door to door and talked to…

I honestly, sincerely, blame the lack of civics education in high schools. I know I didn’t get a class but my parents sure did (baby boomers) and they are showing up at every damned election.

i know, i’m going to work on it more tonight.

I may start a meet up for progressive women in my area. there’s nothing around!

Holy shit these defeatist comments!! You people need to start putting your money where your mouth is. I am angry at this...people I love on here saying “heh like THAT will work”

You contacted the leadership offices?

I’ve gotten a lot of emails/tweets/texts about other organizations to add to this list—too many to properly respond to—so I’ll add a few more here. But before that:

I always refused to believe that we were a nation of racists but I have to face up to the un-face-up-toable.

My dumbass cousin voted for Gary Johnson in OHIO and then posted on Instagram this morning hysterical about how the country could elect Trump.
