And what do you want me to do about it? I’ve been to the doctor for years, complaining about the pain in my colon only to be told I was fine and that I was imagining things. Now I finally convince someone to test for cancer and lo and behold, there it is.

You know what? I am far from a Republican even if I have grown up in literally one of the most Republican parts of the goddamn country.

I’m not actually looking for comfort. I haven’t been comfortable since I was a fucking feminist weirdo growing up in Steve King’s goddamn district.

Yeah, and how do you convince poor people to vote for something that is going to make them poorer, sicker, and less able to do anything to change any of that?

Trade and economic policy?

No offense, Rafi, but you sound kind of like me when I was trying to leave my abusive husband.

It’s already working.  I promise.  

Abusers always set things up like this. They are the kings (and queens, I guess?) of double standards.

I assume James O’Keefe is involved in this somehow.

Here’s my question about Brexit, and yes, it is absolutely 100% influenced by the fact that this is exactly how I feel about Trump in the US. Isn’t this exactly what everyone said was going to fucking happen?

Yeah, my husband was very abusive to me during our marriage.

Wow god that is.....that is really bad.

I would just like to point out the fact that Mike Pence is bringing Mother to his lunch with a gay man.

I could tell you stories for days.

That is.....not going to work the way they think it is.

The whole (supposed) point of American politics is that IT’S EVERYONE’S FUCKING LANE.
