It takes a real feat of cold, tangled logical acrobatics to conclude that, in the event of a fascist candidate, people who don’t want a fascist president should not gather around the banner of the candidate who is not a fascist.

There is expected to be a record low turnout do to the fact that large numbers of French muslims won’t vote either way because they believe the racism is here to stay and they think Macron won’t care about them(he won’t). Combine that with an emerging theory that melenchon didn’t back macron because he wants Le pen to…

That interview with Chris Hayes had me seething. She was so smug.

I saw that, and I had to mute the TV.

Sorry, I had to finish some work. Now I am turning my attention more fully as I should have done, initially.

Oh, I have no patience for her, either. No need to apologise! I’m sure my tone could have been a lot smoother, too. We are all on edge after the catastrophe in November, and the first 100 days of madness.

Seriously, when even the group that is supposed to be about fact based decision making and vetting can’t vet their own closed group on FB to decide who can post (and BTW they never allowed my post asking if we needed clear backpacks, but they let these guys through).... I was seriously disheartened by dealing with…

In fact, Sarandon probably stands to gain a great deal financially from Trump’s presidency.

Susan Sarandon is a BernieBot who was and remains comfortable not voting for Hillary because as a rich white famous person, none of this affects her in the slightest. Fuck her.

Hillary: I take full responsibility for the mistakes my campaign made. Also, there were external forces that shifted the final vote.

I can’t even wrap my mind around someone being both a Stein voter and in the March for Science.

Oh god those fucking protest voters. They still make me so mad. SOOO MADDDD. I just unfollowed the March for Science fb group because they had a wishywashy forum obviously started by a fake account about creating yet another third party for the US. And then this awful dude who was in it with me decided to message me…

He’s... neither of those things. Don’t get me wrong, I love Obama and he’s very very charismatic, but Clinton’s campaign mimicked a lot of stuff about his 2008 campaign (his state strategy, anyway.) If he’s the “master” campaigner, then why is this book turning around and saying the campaign was so poorly run? As far…

But the question I’m asking is, *why* would a far-left anti-trade VP have won back those votes? Your argument is based on the assumption that those non-voters or Stein voters* made anti-free trade their number one reason for voting against Clinton or not voting, but where is the evidence of that? Why would Wisconsin…

Except Obama also supported the TPP, and yet won over the Rust Belt democratic base handily in 2008 and 2012, according to narratives. Even in this thread, people are arguing that Clinton was a terrible candidate because she lost Obama voters, but she lost Obama voters with policies similar to Obama’s. How does that…

I guess I just really side-eye this idea that “anti free trade” is what kept far-left voters from the polls, especially since Obama was *more* in favor of free trade than Clinton, and they showed up for him. It also suggests that people on the far left are super policy-wonks who apparently don’t mind that someone like…

My absolute favorite was when she insisted that she was indeed Canadian AND American and getting her citizenship in time to vote for “anyone but Hillary.” A highly convenient and absolutely bullshit story as evidenced by her absolute ghosting of The Slot.

The only “emotion” of the election was “Minorities are catching up, DO SOMETHING!” And yeah, Bernie did capture that emotion in the Democratic primary, from racially ignorant leftists who think that 94% white Vermont counts as “diverse.” Well hey, he wanted to see America ruled by an angry mob. Shouldn’t he be…

Always? As an ardent Hillary supporter who SO wanted her to win, it always felt like an uphill battle. Admittedly I felt confident going into Election Day and was absolutely gutted when the results started coming in, but a few highlights:

When Bernie started to gain momentum, despite not having anything substantive to say, no real plans, no real world experience doing anything impressive aside from sitting in congress. When I realized that people were supporting this deeply unqualified man because of supremely stupid and nebulous reasons, I started to…
