Nobody is saying we should lift blame from all the bigots and internet deplorables. But we, who stand on the side for equality and freedom, haven’t done a good enough job in making poor rural whites feel welcome in the Democratic party.

After any election, it’s always possible to point out the are that would be the most effective place to focus on improvement. This doesn’t mean that working class people who voted for Trump over Hillary despite the fact that Hillary’s policies would have been better for them economically can blame her for the…

We’re not going to win another presidential election by being hostile to differing opinions. That’s Trumpism.

We simply don’t know. The imam told me the mosque board spoke to two separate immigration attorneys who say everything is up in the air and there’s simply no definitive way of knowing if they’ll ever be allowed entry.

Thank-you. For the moment, we’re doing good financially. They’re in a hotel and our “woman on the ground” is making sure they’re taken care of. She has promised to be with them until this whole thing is resolved. We’re hoping to find a house to put them in at least temporarily.

We have one family my UU Fellowship was sponsoring. Everything is ready for them, they are in Turkey and now can’t come. Furious, and grief filled.

Fucking heartbreaking. Is there anyone way we can support them while they’re stuck in Istanbul?

People who have lived in the US for years, who have studied & worked here and have families, have been denied re-entry into the country. People with proper green cards have been denied re-entry. Families in places like Yemen, who have lost their homes to US-backed Saudi bombing, are denied entry. People who risked…

No, this is all on Hillary for not reaching out enough. In my opinion she was the wrong candidate for the job. Two thirds of Americans think she is untrustworthy and they are partly right in that belief.

You weren’t entirely wrong, at least in that DID as it exists in reality bares very little if any resemblance to a “split personality” as it’s portrayed on screen. It belongs in the same bin as “all autistics are savants” and “years of depression can be cured by one pep talk”.

There is no chance I will ever listen to a thing Tom Ford has to say after that fuckery with indoctrinating his kid to believe that the child’s own desires are less important than what Daddy dictates is “tacky.” Maybe it’s because my own mother put her own ideas and objectives so far ahead of anyone else’s need to…

Ah yes thanks for clarifying. But there’s another problem, the portrayal of mental illness in Hollywood.

*tiptoes in* To be fair ... I was a Sanders supporter who didn’t have a problem voting for Clinton. But here in southern Maine there was fairly overwhelming support for Bernie over Clinton. I’m not excusing this elector dude completely, because I’m well aware of how goddawful and vile a lot of Bernie Bros were, but I…

Honestly be should have refused to change it back to try and force them to charge him with something.

Do you people not see the irony in being upset at this guy while hoping dozens more would do the same in favor of Clinton? Democratic process is democratic process, you can’t throw away the rules only when it suits you.

That’s the thing: it seemed to me as though she had done her research on multiple fronts and was not asking for anyone to manage her feelings. Just more context into the situation. So...? I guess if we’re seeing two completely different things we’re gonna be at an impasse.

How is asking questions equated as have Cho do Swinton’s “intellectual labor”? That assessment seems colossally unfair.

Damn and here I thought she was reaching out specifically to an Asian American to try and learn more about the situation and how to approach it. Silly me!

This is a weak take.
