Could be. Nonetheless, our focus should be getting “souls to the polls” etc... If that means stopping gerrymadering, let’s do that. We OUTNUMBER the RNC easily!

It’s not half - only 54% of registered voters even voted AT ALL, or 36% of all who could have had they been registered and made it to the polls.

And that wold be total bullshit. The Democratic Party HAS the numbers - we are more NUMEROUS than any Republican National Convention. The problem?

I feel sick, but it’s true. Losing abortion rights could seem like a victory compared to nuclear war.

I agree. One of my friends tried to soothe me by saying that a Clinton win might have allowed all of us to think she would take care of the really scary people writing (and passing into law) policy in the US.

And half of us didn’t vote either.

I mostly agree with you, but I’ll remind you - a very small percentage voted trump. In fact a very large percentage didn’t vote at all. We have no idea what those people thought or believed, but looking at the numbers protesting, I’d say the majority were simply not moved by Clinton, but still abhorred trump. And…

And protest when the laws start rolling in to “register” muslims and repeal marriage equality and VOTE in 2 years to get rid of the religious zealots who are in office. And last but not least donate to causes that will influence our politicians to stop the disenfranchisement, the destruction and the pettiness of our…

Only along one line, not the whole dang thing

This is why we call the media the “fourth estate”. Lucky for republicans, Roger Ailes has been delegitimizing the mainstream media so they could get Bush junior into office.

I think I just got confused with the term “runs small”, which to me means “is smaller than expected”. Like when you normally where a size 38, and a certain company makes a size 38, but then you try it on and it’s smaller than what you thought, you say it “runs small.” With patterns, that’s literally not possible…

She said ‘close’ - ankles

But when people still flip out because of a biracial cheerios commercial, can we really blame Nick Jonas’ marketing team for not getting into the fray? Or what about the zealots last week with the Starbucks “holiday”? World has gone nuts, why should we force Nick Jonas into complicated and controversial discussions on…

Size 16 is the average in the US... they start calling you skinny at size 14.

What the fuck is “Bathtub”? Is it some new slang I’m too old to understand?

What do you mean “patterns run small”? They are quite literally based off your measurements. Assuming you measured correctly and followed the instructions for the amount of ease you’re supposed to use (which is based off the type of fabric), there’s no way for a pattern to “run small”

And, they’re not fucking FROZEN

That’s a really good point that I was going to mention, but decided I was getting too long-winded. It’s like how in certain parts of China there are children who are suddenly giants just because it is the first generation that’s had access to proper nutrition

Yup. Don’t doubt it ;-)

Of course they weren’t all, but people are statistically fatter now - something like 2/3rds of us are overweight now. You can look at pictures of people from the 40s, 50s, 60s and there really aren’t as many fat/overweight people. And there’s data you can look at to - again, I don’t have the websites, but doctors have…
