Instead of overthrowing their government

In these times of despair, this map helps me. Remember that – contrary to what T**** wants you to believe – all those states in the wide open center of the country aren’t red – they’re actually essentially empty. (The colors depict the 2016 election.)

The protests also make people know they aren’t alone. Seeing huge crowds turn out stregnthens the resolve of the people who are standing up and saying this isn’t ok. We vote, we support policies that we believe in, we write and call our representatives and we take to the streets to be seen in numbers to show other…

Hahahahaha no. There was no treatment. The young men who were subjected to near-constant bombing and the ubiquitous threat of gas would get PTSD so bad they had actual seizures. Only then did military doctors consider there might be something wrong. They named it ‘shell shock’ and it’s the first known diagnosis of…

Oh look, a social media platform created by a white dude that feels no responsibility to censor and eliminate racist content for fear of losing what it feels to be it’s predominantly white user base.

They didn’t forget; society has been bludgeoned nonstop by conservative-corporatist propaganda for decades. The 80s were catastrophic for unions because they resurrected the idea that corporate greed is somehow a good thing, yet unions wanting better conditions for their workers is “bad greed.”

Don’t watch football.

Clinton’s loss wasn’t due to her ideology—it was bad luck, no charisma, a whole lot of personal baggage, and frankly a much weaker CV than advertised

How old was Joe Biden when he was elected to national office? 31. What a difference three years makes when you’re a man.

It wasn’t a waffle, it was an honest admittance that she’s still learning about the complexities involved. If she’s “mentored” by senior Dems and comes down on the other side, then it’s more disappointing as a sign she might do the same on other issues, but for now it’s a push.

They are scared shitless of her and I am loving every minute of it.

My “favorite” is how working-class people are somehow only white. Who’d a thunk it?!

As the child of white, working-class voters, I am so fucking sick of hearing about white, working-class voters.

Dammit, why couldn’t federal loans be included in this? I need my student debt wiped out, please.

We need the Dems to refocus shaming. As in, direct it like a fire hose onto twits who look at objective reality and go “don’t believe that.” Glaring, unmerciful light needs to be beamed into their eyes as a stentorian voice asks “why? What about this fact is unbelievable to you?” And not let up until they can use…

You almost can’t blame them. Go to foxnews.com right now and you will find zero stories on the front page posted today about the fact that the healthcare repeal died today. They are literally being spoon feed a separate reality. It’s practically cultish.

And that was the brilliance of Obama. He convinced Congresspersons to vote for a bill that they knew would cost them their jobs. Leadership is not convincing people to vote in their own self-interest; it’s convincing them to do the right thing even when it will hurt them. They did the ACA the right fucking way, the…

I’ve said this before, but this constant attempt to blame Democrats for this health care mess shows exactly why the Democrats should not, under any circumstances, cooperate with Trump, because he is incapable of doing anything in good faith.

Only 45% of Trump supporters believe that Don Jr. attended that meeting with the Russian lawyer for dirt on Clinton. Something he himself openly confirmed.

In a fair an logical world this whole mess would easily result in the Democrats sweeping the elections next year.
