This is moving. As much as this convention has been about some weird narrative, it’s still the case that a major political party is nominating a woman for President of the United States for the first time, and she’s probably going to win.

“We have no responsibility to this country unless you charm us sufficiently to earn our votes.”

I am pleased to report that, despite being an Aaron Rodgers fan in football things, and also having watched the first three episodes of the Bachelorette before finding it incredibly draggy, I do not care about this argument in the slightest.

Arc of the moral universe and all that, yeah?

It’s mostly just family members these days. Their whole thing is to get someone to interfere with their free speech rights so they can sue - lawsuits fund their whole thing. So they try to say the most outrageous thing at the most upsetting time. It’s a sad weird scam.

Super weird confession: I grew up and came out back in, like, the salad days of the WBC. Like, back when people actually got upset about them and didn’t just find them hilariously inept, and they protested Matthew Shepard’s funeral, and they were a big fucked up target for all the rage we felt at everybody who was a…

*argument. And no, I happen to think online advocacy turning out HRC supporters is more effective than arguing with Bernie-or-Busters, so I appreciate your advice for how to live my life but also lol it’s the internet.

If Trump gets elected, that’s on you.

Your very premise assumes that Clinton and Trump are equally abhorrent to American democracy, and therefore a conscientious objection to either of them is equivalent. That is not objectively true. Clinton is slightly more moderate than Sanders. Trump is a danger to the Republic. Voting one’s conscience against Trump…

I am always happy to engage anyone on any point. But I’m not going to swallow my pride to argue with Bernie or Bust trolls, many of whom are Trump supporters in disguise, on the internet. That’s time I can spend on GOTV or phone banking.

Nope. If Bernie supporters want to be irresponsible dicks, it is not my (or anyone else’s) job to “reach out” to placate them. Democracy is everyone’s responsibility, equally. If people want to burn it down, that’s built into the structure of the system. They’ll have to live with that exactly the same as the rest of…

Oh you’re a libertarian. Never mind, I didn’t realize I was arguing with a fucking idiot.

Nope, Ted Cruz fans who don’t vote for Trump are helping the country, Bernie fans who don’t vote for Clinton are hurting it. There’s no universal principle here - one candidate is a dangerous demagogue who is financially dependent on Russian oligarchs in a way that is truly disturbing, and the other is sort of more…

“They” don’t want Hillary to win. We ALL should want Hillary to win. The alternative is Trump. This isn’t a contest about who wins what within the Democratic party. It is no more and no less than a fight for the soul of this country - more so than in any election I can remember. Anyone who sits on the sidelines and…

Thank you for being a reasonable person.

They heckled Elizabeth Warren, who was an out and proud conservative when Bernie was back benching as an independent. They can all fuck off.

The Clinton camp is trying very hard to capture every potential voter from the Sanders coalition. If that means handling all the bitch babies with kid gloves in order to secure 1 or 2% of the coalition that would otherwise vote Trump, that’s what they’ll do.

OH MY GOD THEY DIDN’T RIG AN ELECTION.

Hey nothing makes a difference, man. Like when Bush got elected over Gore, the fact that the most environmentalist president in the history of this country got shunted aside in favor of a war criminal who rolled back environmental legislation and led to the 10 hottest years in the history of the world and pushed for…

Honest question: where does this thing go between now and November, then? Is a Trump presidency engineered by Russian oligarchs ok with you? Are you holding your nose and voting Hillary? Assuming everyone else will? Like, I swear to god I am coming at this honestly: what happens next here? What do you want to happen…
