That NYTimes piece was a fun read.

Caroline (daughter of Rudy) Giuliani vocally supported both Obama and Clinton.

If you advise someone and he/she doesn’t ever listen to your advice, are you really advising anything?

If you didn’t vote for Clinton and claim to hate Trump, you deliberately fucked us.

Awww..I’m gonna have to explain math again....

Yeah, well, see, her brand of ‘feminism’ and ‘awareness’ come from the experiences of someone who’s never really had to worry about a single thing in their life. It’s trite, clichéd nonsense because it has no real foundation that was built out of the years long process of surviving and learning from challenges, and…

I made thousands and thousands of calls during the election. Not wanting to vote for a woman was a real thing. And it didn’t just come from men. I spoke to many, many women who were just not comfortable with a woman holding that position. It hurt me every single time.

Except that’s not true. Bernie won the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin. Hillary carried Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania. Should more attention have been paid to those Michigan and Wisconsin upsets? Absolutely. But let’s stop pretending she only won the South. Those southern states…

The cognitive dissonance among the Alt-Left is astonishing sometimes. Look at the post-election response to Bernie Sanders: Democrats were CRUCIFIED by his supporters during the primary and election for trying to court Republican voters. But as soon as someone slapped the Bernie Brand endorsement on trying to reach…

This is the book I want to read. Call it “I Just Don’t Like Her For Some Reason,” and the last chapter should just be the words Institutionalized Sexism over and over.

All I think when I see her is “complicit.”

Yeah...when I was watching the debates and pundits were saying that they were tied or that Trump did well simply because he didn’t shit himself, but every breath, misstep, or cough from Hillary became something to discuss for thirty minutes I KNEW that everything was going to roll right off of him and stick to her.

I think that no matter who the DNC put up*, Trump was going to win. The Tea (Bag) Party upset of congress during Obama’s administration emboldened all of the gorillas to come out of the mist and start shouting their nonsense even louder. Trump shouted the loudest and he was the crassest (read: “Tells it like it is”)…

Except Clinton beat him about the head with those *exact same things*, and nobody seemed to care. And again, Clinton won among those who are supposed to have all of this economic anxiety; it was middle-class and wealthier whites that really swung towards Trump. You’re saying a fiery pro-labor liberal would have…

DING DING DING

Three moments:

Okay this confuses me. I’ve heard people say she should have picked a pro-labor, anti-free trade person in order to pick up the “Bernie” crowd; except then people turn around and insist it wasn’t independents/far-left people who “lost” Clinton the presidency, it was college-educated white folks that should have been…

It bears repeating that she did win the popular vote and likely only lost the presidency thanks to late-breaking news in the final days of the campaign. Still, it should have never been that close to begin with.

This may just be my existential despair talking, but most of the time I feel like nothing she could have done would have made a difference. We still would have ended up with the Cheeto in Chief because everybody is sexist and racist and life is terrible and we’re all going to die. 

So I think a) you need a clear, defined message, and a simple one. And b) you need someone who—and I hate to say this—but you need someone that doesn’t have as much history and baggage that they cart with them onto the campaign trail.
