What we need most in the next four years if Trump is elected, are minority leaders well-versed in parliamentary procedure, with a book filled with favors owed to them, and an unwavering commitment to progressive ideals.

In marketing strategy, it’s almost always considered easier to get a current customer to repurchase than it is to get someone to switch brands. Obama won by energizing the base and getting more minority/liberal voters to the polls. Hillary lost (along with a dozen other reasons because life isn’t that freaking simple

No, this just makes you look uninformed. Gerrymandering dates back to the Civil War. Texas Democrats fled the state twice in the early aughts to fight it, which made national and international news. The fact that you didn’t pay attention until November 9th doesn’t make it Pelosi’s fault.

I currently work with a Mormon and have Mormon family members—that is not normal.

But not really;

Calling someone a Nazi as a blatant insult is wrong. Calling someone a Nazi because they are a Nazi is fine. Just like calling someone a Nazi apologist when that is what they are is fine. See, you for example, are a Nazi apologist, and that’s not me insulting you, it’s a statement of fact, so its fine.

First, I am a woman. Second,

Isn’t it a bit problematic to concern ourselves with micro-aggressions against a privileged and powerful white person who orchestrated the election of a fascist which has resulted in MACRO-aggressions against POC, especially Muslim women? This bitch is a fucking Nazi (or worse- an opportunist who promotes neo-Nazism)

Hardly surprising. You’ve been fed the illusion that America is the greatest country in the world from the day you were born, a claim that was probably never true, but certainly doesn’t hold true today when it comes to the cold hard facts (literacy, education, health care, crime, life expectancy, income equality

I would take that with a grain of salt. I mean look back on the 60s and see how many of those “flower children” ended up just turning into yuppies in the 80s and voting for Reagan.

Other things he said he wanted to do:

So, I will actually enjoy a republican president

Trust me, I heard it enough times

I didn’t tell you who to vote for.

This election and the the prospect of watching this nation turn into a caricature of some dystopian vision of military colonialism is nightmarish beyond words. As a war refugee, I was a front and center witness to the death of a democracy. I’m a Asian-American middle-aged man. I’ve got 2 kids, one in college and the

I think this is unprecedented. Mary Todd Lincoln (and the kids) stayed in the White House during the Civil War, when the capital itself was often under siege and it was a struggle to keep enough of the Maryland roads and the Potomac ports secure so that the residents didn’t starve to death. And Civil War aside DC

The opposite of a live is dead, not unborn. Birth is not required to be a living thing.

It seems fitting for our times that the top comment so far (at least as it is displayed for me) is abjectly wrong on the facts.

Why shouldn’t more people outweigh fewer people? Why should rural votes count for more than urban votes?

I live in Washington State. My vote is worth shit. Try again.
