Just wish they didn’t have to bring the rest of us down with them!

Totally agree. I have always lived in conservative areas and they always think liberals are just being fear-mongering and then are surprised something terrible happens.

I know! And also her voucher and school choice shit is actually VERY BAD for non-city students, which were Trump’s main voters.

So infuriating. You’d think teachers would be really really focused on education policy.

Assholes.

Ha, thanks. To be fair I am in a liberal city so I have no shortage of like-minded people around. But I work a lot outside of the city and there is no shortage of liberal support out in the boonies if you know where to look.

Ughghghgh

Yeah. Like, come on Democrats. Keep writing off red states. Eventually they will all go red if you don’t start focusing on mobilizing the liberals in them. You look at an EC map and it looks like the US is 80% red. You look at the popular vote and it’s just about even.

Oh yes, they definitely deserve it. Just pointing out how insanely unpopular she is.

Seriously! It’s frustrating. This is why we need to stay loud - so they cannot act like none of their choices were connected to their fate. They would never have second guessed a Trump nominee if not for liberal backlash.

If you look at popular vote numbers for red states just for President, there are still HUGE numbers of people who voted for Hillary. For those of us blue people in red states, we need to remember we are a minority but we have massive support and we need to find each other! I mean in Louisiana (where I live), it was…

Yeah - I am seeing a lot of liberals acting like it’ll be such common sense Trump is an asshole that the Democrats will win by landslides. We can’t take it for granted. Our people have momentum and that’s great and we need to capitalize on that. We also don’t need to rely on conventional patterns and wisdom anymore,…

Yep! The candidates are starting to emerge. I want to spread this far and wide: follow Flippable.org because they are doing great work analyzing seats that could swing blue up and down the ballot. Also join SwingLeft, and find the nearest district to you where a House seat could flip blue and learn how to help them or…

He is a white man who is rich and so he believes that he can do anything. Literally anything. Men like this don’t listen to experts, don’t think you need training, nothing. See also: many men I’ve ever worked with.

God I HATE the business comparison. You can’t lay off citizens, the government doesn’t function as it’s supposed to with the main purpose of pursuing profit, and broadly, you don’t just get to fucking HIRE whoever to do all the jobs! You don’t have a team of people working together that you’re in control of - you, as…

I know. I’m trying to quit my job so I have more flexbility for activism. It sounds like I need to hit up Soros...

I have a lot of childhood friends who are both conservative and teachers, and they have been very quiet since the election. When DeVos came along they were outspoken and jumping in on all the action items to try to stop her. I know these people are anti-choice, anti-immigrant, and voted for Trump, yet EVEN THEY hate…

The paid protesters thing always gets me. Paid by whom??

Libertarians love the government as long as the GOP is in charge.

Also let it serve as a reminder to anyone who touts Graham and McCain as reasonable moderate republicans: no they’re not.
