Insurance companies could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave. and America still won’t dump them for single payer. Of course Insurance companies have killed way more people than that.

 But one, where was all that energy and drive back in November when it actually MATTERED?

I feel you. My high school bully was an aspiring hockey player who thought he was King Shit and had the posse behind him. He was basically a combination of Biff Tannen and Marty McSorley. After high school we all went our separate ways and I basically forgot about him until I read about him in the newspaper. Turns out…

I was a mouthy feminist in a sea of Mormon redneck. Popularity was not an option:

I’d like to remind you that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the rest are walking around as free men right now, despite the fact that they lied to get America into an illegal war whose only purpose was to enrich themselves, resulting in the murder of literally millions of people and the formation and rise of Islamic…

Self medication.

So these are the only 2 choices? Where does this leave the possibility of actual progressive change?

Voter suppression? First of all, the district is 70+ percent white. Second, hey guess what? You know why Black turnout is down? Because low-SES Blacks aren’t as interested in taking time off of work, losing money, and finding transportation to vote for a generic White Democrat as they are in voting for Barack Obama.…

Cool, were you in Ohio in 2004 when voting machines weren’t registering votes for Kerry? Were you there in 2008 when the election board was kicking students from historically black universities off voter roles for misplaced apostrophes in their names? Or what about when a local town engineer in Greene County put up…

SOMEONE PLEAAAASSEEEEEE REPORT ON FALLIBILITY ELECTRONIC VOTING. So Ossoff was up +7 a week ago and we’re just going to go straight to infighting about Bernie and Hillary. Productive.

As I said elsewhere, I’d more easily accept that this is what Georgia really chose if I trusted Georgia’s electronic voting system. And knew there wasn’t voter suppression. We need to start caring about Crosscheck before 2018.

I dutifully vote for the Dem in generals. Every election. But as a dyed in the wool leftist/young person? They don’t really offer me much in return. They flee from the base as if progressive ideals are radioactive. Why should the base be enthusiastic about the Party right now? The leadership is hellbent on remaining…

Maybe don’t waste 25 million dollars on a telegenic, 30 year-old empty suit who ran on bold promises like “cutting government waste” and “working across the aisle”.

Democrats deserved to lose this. Looks like they might have fared better in South Carolina had they not completely ignored it.

my favorite part about all those people talking about how the dems gained 15 points in this election is that they dont realize that it cost Dems like $3 million per point.

Jesus fuck, the DNC is so incompetent its staggering. We are FUCKED

Of all the objectively terrifying things Republicans are doing to this country right now, and all of it’s pretty horrific, nothing bothers me half as much as their complete silence as Trump enables all the shitty racists with his rhetoric.

Bernie Bros and Bernie supporters are two different things. Even Bernie told the Bernie Bros to stop their misogynist bullshit.

Question. Have you ever been to Montana?

I’ll be happily casting my vote for Quist tomorrow. I worry about the turnout but since this race is getting national attention I hope my fellow Montanans get out and vote!
