“I would be very careful about exercising your First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Free speech in a Trump administration extends only to fawning praise, not to criticism or dissent of any kind. You knew this when you voted us in.” -said the scorpion to the fucked democracy.

So finally today I was able to find some hope. In a story about a junior staffer standing up at a meeting and calling our Donna Brazille on her role in losing the election. If This election wakes up democrats, shakes loose the last vestages of the old Clinton coalition and makes way for a new generation of…

“But but....it’s about economic anxiety!” - White Americans since Tuesday night

Not calling out/ignoring racism is a proud white tradition, which is a huge reason why we’re here in the first place.

This is so so true. It’s so annoying when people try to explain it by saying “these voters felt left behind by the economy.” I live in Kentucky. Most Trump supporters I know are relatively well off (it is true, in my experience, that many do not have college degrees, but work trade or own businesses) and white. It’s…

The gap between Trump and Clinton in Wisconsin is just under 27,000 votes. Nearly 31,000 people in Wisconsin voted for Jill Stein.

Fuck you Susan. Have a nice roll in your cash as you watch us poor women go bankrupt then die from cancer.

Omg, yes fuck you Susan Sarandon. I hope you enjoy clinging to your ideological purity while Trump guts this country and drags us back to 1851 or whenever he believes America was great before.

The difference is that it seems these people were in line to vote when the polls closed and, legally, 100% had the right to vote. That happens all the time, too.

My mother is 78 and has NEVER voted for a Democrat (much to my chagrin). This morning she was in line long before 7 a.m. (with quite a few others, she texted) in DALLAS TEXAS to vote for Hillary Clinton. Her reason? “While only a child the last time a fascist demagogue almost destroyed the world and ran his country…

Every feminist commenter on every feminist website I used to read back then said over and over and over that attacking Sarah Palin in a sexist manner was just plain wrong. It was mostlt liberal dudes and decidely NON-feminist women engaging in that crap.

That drove me crazy. I think I spent an entire election season yelling some variation of “this is quite possibly the dumbest person on the planet, she says some new mind-shatteringly stupid thing every six seconds, why the hell are we just tossing lazy sexist insults at her” at most of my friends. What the hell does…

Some of the strongest hatred and mockery I’ve seen from the left for Republican politicians is directed at women, and I generally agree that they’re terrible, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that women are selected for the strongest scorn.

Similarly, the left dubbed Sarah Palin “Caribou Barbie,” leading to an entire year where I began every other sentence with the qualifier, “don’t make me defend Sarah Palin.”

The amount of shit Hillary (and others as you say) has had to endure over her 40 years serving the public has been astronomical and disgusting. I know she won’t be crying when she accepts the nomination tomorrow night (wimmenz be weeping, etc.), but a LOT of us will on her behalf.

“Uh...okay, what you’re seeing now isn’t technically bullying, but they do seem to be ganging up on her...”

“Those people can use that word, but I can’t? That’s discrimination.” —every Trump voter.
