Never underestimate people’s willingness to vote against their own best interests.

Bernie Sanders has been polling in recent months as literally the most popular politician in the United States. Clinton diehards are going to blame people who would have voted for him, but voted for Stein, Johnson, or Trump. Imagine how many votes that must be, particularly in the midwest, that would have gone to…

Julian Castro or Liz Warren maybe? There’s nobody.

Fuck the Democratic Party for not actually developing a bench. We were choosing between a flawed candidate (at least in terms of public perception — which is all that matters) and a 75 year old guy who mostly identified as socialist.

For the life of me I’ll never understand why the democrats cleared the decks to anoint a candidate who had already failed miserably in 2008 and who revealed herself to be isolated and utterly out of touch with the electorate.

last I checked, roughly 34% of Hispanics voted trump. [citation needed, because I saw that at like 8:30am]

I learned that you are clearly a misogynistic misogynist if you think anything other than misogyny caused this misogynistic mess. Don’t criticize Hillary’s perfect campaign, misogynist! Misogyny.

The two ladies in my office. Both young moms of girls. One actually said (not paraphrasing) “well I didn’t like either candidate but my husband owns a business so, you know, Trump being a business man, it makes more sense.”

Weren’t you too busy to vote yesterday?

The 52% of white women who voted for Trump are the ones that really boggle my mind. I just don’t get it. I should start telling them to shut their mouths and assign them ratings based on looks. Then I can just grab their pussies to shut them up.

Socialism: Potentially appealing to half the country if the only other option is racist, sexist, and quasi-fascist. Catch the fever!

Needs to be said over and over. Start running for/voting for third party candidates for those state reps, city councilpeople, state treasurer, etc. all of those “non-glamorous” offices. A third party candidate running for local office should be as common as Dems and Republicans. Get people use to the idea of seeing…

If Sanders had won the primary (and I won’t rehash whether or not the primaries were fairly contested), there is zero doubt he would have a 15-point lead right now and win over 400 electoral votes. I would have donated every spare penny I had to him. Alas.

Fellow Democrats: if you want more liberal-leaning people at the top of the ticket, you need to vote more liberal people in down the ticket. That means showing up for primaries, that means actually knowing people’s policy positions, that means writing to your representatives about issues, that means grass-roots…

Ugh, that’s pretty depressing.

I hear ya! I was raised by a single Boomer mom who had lots of help from her family, including her own parents, to watch me before and after school, on weekends so she could go out, etc. (Though I did become a latch-key kid at age 10).

I think that only fits if it goes one step further, where Boomer grandparent doesn’t understand why their grandkids aren’t as excited about seeing grandma and grandpa as we were.

The whole point of this article is that historically grandparents did have a bigger role in childcare. Meaning, in effect, that the grandparents in this article were receiving as much free childcare from their parents as their kids are expecting from them. I’m not saying society can’t change, I’m just saying these…

“I’m involved, but I’m not the parent,” she said. “I’m looking forward to getting to be involved and not necessarily doing it all over again.”

If you crate train the kid well enough, then you’ll only need someone to stop by to let them out once a day while you’re at work for the first few months. After that, they should be ok to be left alone all day without needing to go out!
