Nope. First off, it’s so easy for you to say this since Elizabeth Warren has pretty much said she’ll never actually run. It’s like a nice pretend way for you to show you’re not sexist. It’ll never happen, so you’ll never actually have to support her. But let’s humor this...if she did get the nom....they would find

LMAO. So if there was a magic, perfect women she would have won. Okie doke. No sexism to see here. In order to win, women just need to be 100% perfect even when up against a vile bigot. GOT IT.

If your fictitious woman had 3 husbands and 6 children by 3 men and cheated on all of them - like Trump, that woman would have been run out of the primaries on a rail.

And yet, you have not yet written a four-paragraph essay about how you didn’t really have to, or want to, and how imperfect she is, and what a struggle it was to reconcile your personal purity-tests against the grim meathook realities of the candidates, and how you’d much rather vote for someone you’re personally

As a straight white male:

Thank you! In the other post, I ranted about why I’ve had enough of the entitled white male schtick. Just shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. This is not your election. This is mine.

There are times when I just want to go off on people who insist that Hillary is somehow this evil figure who is a super manipulative liar and a Machiavellian genius bent on corruption.

But won’t somebody think of the white people? Their (well, our) feefees are getting hurt just all over the place whenever someone says “racism” or “misogyny” aloud. Sure, every non-straight-white-male stands to be utterly fucked by a Trump presidency (and frankly most straight white males would be boned as well), but

If by some strange horrible longshot Trump wins, I will cease to speak to anyone who insisted on voting for Stein or Johnson because “I shouldn’t have to vote for the lesser of two evils” or “Clinton is a liar and murderer” or “they are both terrible” or “I don’t have to follow the crowd” or “If everybody would vote

john oliver and sam bee are magic.

oh my god, im in the same boat. like, i don’t even like jokes about trump. meanwhile i dressed as sarah palin on halloween in 2008.

I will admit it. I have been saying since the beginning that there is no way he will actually be elected. He’s a joke.

I never thought a Presidential Election could actually cause me severe anxiety and actual depression at the same time...four years ago, I remember loving Herman Cain, Rick Perry, etc’s ridiculous moments as I knew they were finite and everything would be ok.

I was bullied mercilessly in school. It was...awful. I’m so glad that I was pretty much done with school before social media was a thing, or else I probably would’ve been in a similar situation. The worst that happened online is a guy from school spent the summer chatting with me on AIM and then turned out it was a

I think that that is what frustrates me most about the people who are choosing to vote based on their conscience: in my experience, they’re overwhelmingly people who will not be directly impacted by their decision. Mostly it’s white abled-bodied heterosexual cis men (most of whom are happily middle class or higher) or

Well, she’s a white entitled idiot who won’t be affected if Trump wins so, OF COURSE SHE DOES.

Wow, I really respect this woman. She is doing a wonderful thing and hearing her speak about her own abuse brings me to tears. I was abused during roughly the same ages as she was and I still can’t imagine publicly admitting or talking about it. But we need to bring this stuff to the light to help people who are being

OH MY GOD YOU CAN
