One million stars to you!
I keep commenting all over the damn place that politics is compromise and as a Sanders supporter I view Clinton as a fine compromise. Their platforms are nearly identical. Where they differ, her position is still better than Trump’s. She has experience up the wazoo and is hella politically…

A vote for Trump is also a vote for war. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump, basically. Stein won’t win, and voting for Stein steals votes from Clinton only. There are no would-be Trump voters who will say “Actually, he isn’t perfect, let me vote for Stein.” It’s all would-be Clinton voters who would then…
No, I did not say that at all. There won’t be a “revolution” with Trump. There will just be disasterous policy and a terrifying number of real people’s lives will be ruined as a result. And the energy in the country will swing towards wanting a nice, safe, experienced candidate (read: establishment), and all this…
This needs more stars!
I really dislike the Bernie/Trump comparissons, but one way they are similar is that they are propelled by a populist movement. The villain in each movement is different (rich people and corporations vs minorities and immigrants), but the general sentiment is Fuck This Shit.
If Trump becomes…
I’m a an actual registered Green Party member. Obviously, I’m not a big fan of big money politics. I’ll be voting for whomever is the Democratic nominee. Let’s be clear...I don’t fully agree with either o them. However, letting Trump or Cruz seat a minimum of one and possibly multiple Scotus justices is not an option…
Obama didn’t blow anything up. He tested the waters. It was a politically savvy move to show that the Republicans are just tantruming and it’s working fine so far. Now, they could call his bluff and pass the nominee along but I think they’re going to wait to see how the primaries turn out and how the poll numbers…
Hi, hello person who told me yesterday that no real Bernie supporters would consider voting for Trump. How are you?
I question why these people are so certain there will be any kind of revolution—violent or otherwise. Two Bush presidencies weren’t enough to push the democratic party to be more progressive. Why do they think a Trump presidency would? The masses are pretty easy to keep quiet. The poor are working too hard and have…
How is it “very clear” there will be war? A vote for Clinton is about 99% likely to be a vote for a continuation of the past 8 years. And those past 8 years, while not perfect and disappointing at times, are a fuckton of miles beyond better than what would have happened if we had continued another 8 years of W.
People who want to make sure they have an ideologically pure voting record at the expense of real people getting hurt by letting a Republican win really make my heart hurt.
Then have fun with another generation of a conservative SCOTUS.
Since Sarandon isn’t going to suffer the most consequences under the Trump presidency, or for that matter under any general breakdown of society, I would kindly request that she not opine about revolutions here. (Also, as bad as Trump would be, I don’t see “revolution” really being a possibility here. Protests? Sure.…
