I hate the narrative that Clinton ran a bad campaign. It took Comey and the Russians and the electoral college (throwback to slavery!) to defeat her. Embrace our values! If we can, reach out to those who are willing to ally.

This is a really, really good panel & thank-you (Jezebel) for helping to host it.

Yeah, people would have done things like start a rumor that she murdered an ex-lover. It’s not really a knock on Michelle. Hillary Clinton was an exceptional woman who—between Bill’s bad behavior, Newt’s shitty personality and our country’s inherent sexism—faced an unprecedented vortex of shit which she managed. …

Michelle Obama is not as badass as Hillary Clinton. There. I said it. She is nice and lovely and a wonderful role model, but she spent her time on “kids should eat more salad” and never worked on national policy.

“As for your last point I think you are right. I think a lot of the actions White people support that harm other groups (most time Black folks and Hispanics of all races) are done more out of tunnel vision than actual malice towards other groups.”

You are much more positive than I am. White supremacy is a hell of a drug, and when white people have it bad, they take it out on us. Every time. Hard times don’t make them give a damn.

Yes we did deserve him; we elected him twice. What we don’t deserve is Trump. (Ask the 66,000,000 voters who voted against his 63,000,000 - alas to no avail)

I think Obama is hitting on a lot of key points in this speech about the importance of participating in democracy.

Because getting excited over dumb BS like this doesn’t actually accomplish anything.

Hillary didn’t fucking fail. She beat Trump by nearly three million votes.

The same. Because they are dumb.

HARVEY FIERSTEIN’S EDNA VOICE IS DRIVING ME UP A FUCKING WALL

“It was her track record and associations. Which, to be fair, isn’t any better for Trump”

I find it more concerning that nobody in his entourage realized this was a bad idea and knocked the phone outta his hands. I mean, if there was ever a time for a secret service guy to be go rogue and be like “even I know you don’t say shit about Taiwan!” and shoot the phone...

The glorification of rural America as the real, authentic America has been around forever, though. Ironic that these people and their lifestyles are heavily subsidized by the tax payers in New York and San Francisco.

Why are we equating “everyday Americans” with specifically “rural” America.

The vast majority of people live in urban areas/cities. The vast majority of the middle class live in urban-surburban areas/cities. Most colleges and universities are in urban areas/cities. The major areas of growth in the nation are in urban…

Yeah, the level of backlash misogyny and sexism by so called liberals has been eye opening. While I don’t have anything against Ryan in particular; they guy is a fairly conservative democrat that was anti choice until recently. I can’t understand why the left of the party hates Nancy Pelosi but is okay with a…

Seriously. We need a wartime consigliere. It’s a damn shame we’re losing Reid. Schumer is no substitute.

50 Words for Snow is being sorely underrated here. There’s a low-key but complex production to that album that really works on me. Maybe you just need to be older? I wonder if your attachment to the earlier stuff is nostalgia? i should clarify i’m not that old, but i also don’t feel overly attached to any one creative…

Hounds of Love tbh. It’s her best album.
