I’m just mad as hell to see Bernie bros. cynically losing this lost to try to once again steer us to their hopeless utopia. I’m not about that life. No, we are not going to back of the bus because you desire most of what Trump does only you desire it from the left. Take that shit and walk. It ain’t right and it sure…

If the press had spend more time on policy and less time on GUYS I DONT THINK MELANIA HAS A COLLEGE DEGREE ALSO HILLARYS EMAILS GUYZ we probably wouldn’t be in this current mess...

Where does the party go in a presidential election where their candidate is already coming out of this with a million more votes than her opponent in growing? Hopefully, not too far. And, anyone purposefully trying advocate for some huge shift is likely someone trying to re-fight a primary they couldn’t win because…

The problem is that there were a multitude of issues this election. Many bleeding-hearts on the far Left were heartbroken that Bernie didn’t win, and never forgave the DNC/Hillary for it (cutting off their proverbial nose to spite their face). You’ve got the fact that the Right has been working to portray both…

Ah... Brendan O’Connor. I remember his inflammatory, thinly veiled sexist bullshit from Gawker. I thought he went away when Gawker went under. Ugh.

Alt-Left: so far left and so in the weeds of their own issues and their personal morality that they fail to realize they are not the only people on the planet, that many, many people have been harmed (and will continue to be harmed) because they are self-righteous pricks. Defining characteristic: They believed,…

i am angry at that line too.

I respectfully disagree. Hillary was the elected messenger of the Left’s message, she had 55% of the votes in the primaries. The Left needs to decide wtf its doing because there is a younger, jaded cohort of Democrats that want it to swing more left. And this cohort is threatening to withhold its vote or turn…

Democrats are obsessed with purity tests, Republicans know its about bodies pulling the right lever.

And make voter suppression and gerrymandering a fucking platform. Why was and is this still not being covered appropriately?

President Obama has it right with his post-presidency priorities. The most important thing Democrats can do in the next 4 years is concentrate on winning state legislatures because in 2020, state legislatures will get to redraw the district lines for the House of Representatives. If you haven’t heard of REDMAP, here’s…

Donald Trump did not win the election last Tuesday; Hillary Clinton lost it. This simple fact

Democrats fracture along personal pet issues, Republicans just...hate everything, but at least they do it together?

I’m in the national Pantsuit Nation, and my statewide division,* and so far there’s a lot of energy and mischief afoot. ;) I’d suggest to anyone feeling lonely or helpless to consider joining.

Agreed.

It’s surprising how many people are ignoring basic political science, that capturing the White House for a third term is *incredibly* difficult. Incumbents themselves have a natural advantage (which is why you frequently see even unpopular presidents gain a 2nd term), but the third term is the exception. Consider also…

“The 2016 U.S. presidential election was a referendum on capitalism’s failures to serve the interest of working class people”

I’m still at the “cry and hold each other” stage.

They start voting in every election—midterm elections, special elections, city council elections, proposition-only elections, bond-only elections, every election.

None of these things are going to work until half of the population can be convinced to stop voting against their own self-interests for fear of the “Other”.
