Yes. Absolutely. And we need to stop trying to abolish it right after we get fucked over by it - we need to do it now, and do it for the future, because unless we Democrats start spreading out to other states and leaving cities in droves, this is going to fuck us over and over and over again. An organization working…

Agree. I am on FIRE with rage right now and it hasn’t cooled off since the election. If anything I’ve become more focused. I’m trying to bring everyone in my family/social circle (who is amenable to our cause) with me.

It’s only impeachable if the Republican-controlled House votes to say it is impeachable.

I’m not his biggest fan either, but he is speaking out about the gravity of the Russian hacks.

Yeah - I grew up in SC and I always called NC “the good Carolina.”

Ha, you do you, but if a lawsuit about Ohio’s idiot law gets up to the Supreme Court and they uphold, it’s the law of the land. This is why we need to care about other states’ bullshit. :(

I shed real tears, seeing the photo of him in his first post-election meeting with Trump, because what a FUCK YOU it is to Obama that his successor is the person who led a racist conspiracy theory against him. I don’t know how Obama truly feels about that, but for me, it is heartbreaking.

I know. This is literally one of the intended purposes of the EC. I am no fan of it, in general (I don’t think it can really co-exist alongside a popular vote TBH), but if ever there was a time for it to carry out its function as a fail-safe...

This. People across the country who you have nothing in common with vote for Senators to YOUR Senate. People up and down here (and everywhere) just shrugging and being like, “fuck those guys” are a huge problem, because the DNC also has adopted that attitude.

Well one of them was real focused on climate change. So that would have been a vote in YOUR Senate with their eye on climate change.

Dude, when they shut down the government, these politicians STILL get paid. They’re not the ones being sent home.

Louisiana is one of the reddest states, yet we had roughly 1 in 3 people vote for Clinton in the Presidential election. So, a solid third. That’ show our country is, so when people just write off red states as a lost coast, they are abandoning HUGE populations of Democratic voters that, I believe, would turn out if…

Didn’t know that little nugget. Also that sounds like something a north Louisianian wouldn’t forgive you for.

But hey, we New Orleanians still gotta turn out!

Over a goddamn third of the state did not support Trump. Is it full of idiot Republicans? Sure. But writing off everyone in all the red states IS EXACTLY HOW YOU GET THE FUCKING SITUATION WE’RE IN.

I mean, our state is literally being swallowed up by the Gulf of Mexico and this guy actually prioritizes climate issues. We take what we can get man.

I’m SAYING.

We have different kinds of Democrats down here in Louisiana, so it’s really not absurd a Democrat could get elected. They are a lot like Foster Campbell - pretty much just centrist. Doesn’t mean he’s not a better choice than Kennedy. He believes in climate change (which is affecting us at an alarming rate), has worked…

My partner is convinced that all his claims of rigged elections during the campaign were a ruse to get Hillary Clinton to agree to accept the results, because he knew that the election was being rigged in his own favor somehow.

I know. I had a friend who has struggled with depression go spiraling. She ended up going to inpatient treatment (or whatever it’s called). I’m really glad we all saw the signals.
