So much this. The author is the perfect example of the mindset that lost us the election.

DINGDINGDING

This may be too big of a leap, but is it possible ambivalence was somewhat to blame for the lack of strong local leadership/organization? I voted for Hillary and donated to her campaign, but some part of me dreaded the idea of the Clintons back in the White House. I suspect most of the people working for her didn’t…

People are selfish. Almost all people vote in their own self-interest. Trump promised to bring the jobs back that have been long gone and probably won’t come back. You cannot argue against that. They voted in a last chance effort to restore their way of life. If you thought your way of life was ending but had to vote…

We all should have been better than this, and we weren’t.

I was a Hillary voter as well but I completely agree with what you wrote. If the opposing side does something that you take issue with but then think about how you would feel if your side did the same and the response is different then you do not have a principled stance. Unfortunately this is the case with most…

If this is a concern, you might want to get rid of your cell phone.

When we go to the opera, we don’t bring opera glasses, we bring my dad’s bird-watching binoculars.

I have literally never heard this song before.

Fuck off. You aren’t laying this shit at my door.

A Clinton victory would not have saved those in Aleppo. The ongoing massacre was already in motion well before November 8. And refugees are generally accepted from refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan, not helicoptered out of besieged cities. But yes, the US at least should definitely have accepted many more than the…

Retweeted. I’m just glad I’ll be able to tell my grandkids that I did my part.

How coincidental, Triple H will be our bond rating after the Trump Presidency.

This is where I break with the Jacobin/ Intercept left. Aleppo was under horrific fire from Russia before the election. In the last year, Russian shelling killed more civilians than ISIS has in all of Syria, and twice as many civilians as the entire UAV drone strike program has since 2004.

If you’re so weak that you allow some rando drunk dude to ruin your night out because you feel humiliated by him, you have your own serious issues. I would either suggest never going out, or getting good insurance and a lawyer now, cause you’re going to need it.

Oh shit, a random stranger on the internet called you a…

Yes, people like you, macho sexists who have no concept of actual manhood. Your comments are those of a teenage boy, swaggering and scared about honor. Honor comes from your deeds, not from the respect of a drunken stranger. Honor is something you earn, and if yours can be offended by mere words, it’s not honor. It’s…

I love candle drama.

Moving to another borough would afford the foursome much more space for less money, of course, but like many newcomers, they are willing to make certain sacrifices to stay in Manhattan.
