On the Slot? I don’t think so.
On the Slot? I don’t think so.
Can we at least remind people that Donald Trump was endorsed by someone who thinks suffrage for women and racial minorities was bad for democracy? And that his party has been working hard to disenfranchise Black, Latino, and poor people? The Republican platform may not explicitly call for disenfranchising women and…
So basically they’re proving what the more reasonable among us have suspected all along: they’re the left wing equivalent of Trump supporters. And they can fuck right off.
God THANK YOU for voicing this. I feel like I’m going insane listening to these people preaching morality while simultaneously not caring about the future well being of other people.
YES. Exactly. 100% agree. You have coherently written what I have been saying and thinking for weeks. And I, for one, PLAN on becoming even more engaged on a local and regional level in order to be sure that we get more progressives in office. The president isn’t magic, like some of the Berners seem to think.
You don’t have a fucking conscience if you care more about not sullying your own progressive purity with a vote for Clinton than you care about immigrants, Muslims, women, poor people, and the rest of the fucking planet who stand to suffer in profound ways under Trump. If you want to be able to vote for the person who…
I just think this is an excellent post. I completely agree that it seems like so many people came out and got energized, which is amazing, but the elections that make a difference for the most part in your everyday life are your local elections - including judges. Even if people are not happy with their presidential…
Honestly, I’m a Bernie supporter who’s going to vote for Hillary, and probably even campaign for her, because, whether the circumstances were fair or not, he lost, and she’s now the only thing standing in the way of protofascist Donald Trump winning the presidency. And allowing Trump to win the presidency would be…
Ah, THAT’S what they were chanting. Yeah, like Elizabeth Warren was going to be all “oh, things got fucked up and Bernie didn’t get the nod for various reasons, some of them nefarious....well, just to show ‘them’, I’ma vote for TRUMP!!!!”
Part of the reason I never fell in line with Sanders was his abysmal showing with BLM and daring to claim Planned Parenthood is part of the establishment. There’s a reason that most people of color on the Dem side have been with Clinton since the beginning. Part of the generalization is the result of the facts of the…
Nothing proves that they don’t better than the whole booing him saying we don’t want Trump. They don’t care about Bernie at all and never did. What they cared about was being told they were right all along.
They also shouted “No TPP” while Elijah Cummings was talking about his dead father. Cummings, by the way, voted AGAINST TPP so I don’t know why those assholes were chanting it at him anyway. These particular Bernie fans (said to be the California Bernie delegation) were utter embarrassments tonight.
I don’t think they get it he is just a guy. They have super fans, just like Justin Bieber.
I can’t with the fucking crying. He’s a fucking politician, just like any other, not the Messiah.
Can i just say this cult of personality thing that’s happening on both sides with trump and Bernie is super disturbing? Like people are losing their shit right now. They realize he is just a guy right?
I was a Bernie supporter, but guess what, he lost. As much as I wanted him to be the nominee, I absolutely don’t want Trump in office. So the only thing I can do is to support Hillary, who is now the best chance we have to keep him out of office.
I’m with her, too.
Haha! What?
My dad was a super sweet guy, not really what you would call a fighter. So, we are at a baseball game and the guy behind me is putting his feet in my hair. I am about 16 at the time. After the second or third time I turn around and let this dolt have it and he pretends to apologize. Dad wants to know what the problem…
I don’t know... But I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to the guy without the gun. At least until I hear differently.
