Going to have to disagree with the snark here. I’m very, very happy to see a female-led beauty startup achieve the crazy levels of funding and success that they have. So many of the power-players in this industry are men giving their best approximation of “what women want” (which for so long appeared to be heavily…

Worst. Cheerleading. Squad. Ever.

He’s a typical garden variety abuser.

What kind of a sociopath is this Dr. Luke guy? His goal seems to be to just destroy her in every possible way. Fucking maniac.

There are people who didn’t vote for the candy-stealer or the baby-killer in favor of someone who was neither. Now the people who wanted the candy-stealer are mad about it? Next time, pressure your party to advance someone who doesn’t steal candy, and they will surely get more votes.

I’m replying not really to your post but to join in the thread of responses. It’s almost heartening (but in a super fucked way) to see that I’m not the only person losing connections with people in their life over the Bernie&Stein&Non-voters/Hillary split. I cannot imagine going through this in a marriage.

Trump also, very boldly, laid out his vision for America—our dystopia, sure, but he laid everything out for us to see, and he’s doing it. Hillary Clinton’s campaign, for most people, was memorable for the anti-Trump ads and media mockery of Trump. Yes, she would tell people to “go to her website” to see her platform…

Bolder candidates. Or better candidates. Or at least candidates who appear honest.

They had reams of oppo research on Bernie which would have killed him easily.

Yeah, and the McCain team totally has the Obama talking about whitey tape, he would lose in a landslide if he had won the primary in 08.

As I pointed out in another reply: that assumes that every one of those votes would have gone to Hillary. By that same logic, all of Trump’s voters fucked us.

Kurt Eichenwald is a lying sack of shit. Do you honestly believe the Republicans had anything that David fucking Brock missed? There was no secret unreleased video, and all the other stuff was brought up during the primary,

I supported Bernie in the primary but I thought it was downright shameful how he continued his primary campaign well past viability just to appease his rabid supporters.

Oh for fuck’s sake, third party candidates stole more votes from the GOP than they did the Democrats, just like Nader in 2000. But the Democrats refuse to acknowledge the possibility that THEY fucked up, so it’s time for a desperate search for scapegoats.

You’re right to be skeptical, but I only bring it up, because I similarly don’t think it should be dismissed out of hand.

There was a much bigger difference between Bernie and Hillary beyond mere genitalia. Bernie ran a populist, anti-establishment campaign, while Hillary, fairly or not, was the embodiment of “establishment neoliberalism” and that, I think, depressed turnout.

I voted for Hillary, but Bernie might have done well in the Rust Belt states that Trump eventually picked up to win the election.

Blame Hillary and her staff for running a bad campaign if you want to blame anyone. Or all the primary voters who voted for her even though she didn’t have a very good chance of winning the general.

I hope that he is now your ex husband?
