Very low. Well have more dems up for reelection and the republicans who are up are in republican stronghold states in the senate. The house is a possibility, but Obama spent the last 8 years saving our economy so well that I don’t think even trump can kill it in 2 years.

The DNC has nobody this time around. It was shocking. Bernie ran to get his message out. Warren would have done the same if she ran. Neither he or anyone else expected him to win. And we couldn’t find a legitimate opponent for Clinton anywhere.

Don’t say that. Remember John Kerry in 2004. If the dnc is as incompetent as they’ve been the last few years, I fully believe they’ll support a vcr with googly eyes glued on in 2020.

You’re right. Some of them just don’t care that the candidate they voted for is a racist douchebag and that the Vice President is the worst case scenario for LGBT people. Excuse me for not thinking very that better. Even if you’re not racist, if you don’t care that someone is, you’re just as bad.

I appreciate that you get the enormity of what just happened. Best case scenario is millions of people lose healthcare, LGBT rights freezes and we lose our federal advocates we had in Obama, Biden, and Lynch. Best case no criminal justice reform and no respect from higher ups with regards to BLM. Muslims will be…

My sole point of joy at the moment. I’m feeling bitter and vindictive.

If he can accomplish even a quarter of what I listed, he’ll wreck millions of lives in this country. From what I can see abortion access, restricting LGBT rights at the very least with a bathroom bill and likely with an RFRA, dropping taxes, and repealing Obamacare are near certain. The others are fun wild cards that…

If they felt bad, they wouldn’t have done this to us. This is barely concealed glee at all the shit that’s going to happen to us over the next 4 years.

I feel bad starring this, but you know what I mean.

This is bad but I’m going to say it anyway. I hope a bunch of trump voters lose their jobs and their houses in that recession.

Trump can’t even listen to his handlers. I’m sure he’ll stop humping putins leg long enough to nuke Syria at least once.

I completely agree. If you have to lie about who you’re going to vote for, how are you so morally bankrupt that you don’t think twice about it?

Truth. You get marijuana because the obama administration can’t be fucked about bothering states about it. That’s not going to continue.

How? I swear to god. As a white woman, I swear I had nothing to do with this. How is it possible that we voted against our own interests in this country so badly? Do white women think they have nothing to lose?

After abortion access has been fucked. After gay rights are rolled back to the 90s. After 4 years of stop and frisk. After starting a land war in Syria and who the fuck knows where else. After we bomb cities full of non combatants with no warning. After we commit atrocities against Latino undocumented immigrants by…

They really were the silent majority. I’m disgusted right now.

How in a country of 350 million people is it possible that no one else ran. Fucking how. How is there not one decent democratic senator or governor up to the task.

Megan, on behalf of us all, thank you for still writing this lovely article. I seriously can’t imagine having your level of professionalism at this moment. I feel like breathing into a bag and crying. I wish I could buy you a drink right now.

I didn’t say anything about her likability. I found her plenty likable personally, but I knew the shit fountain of sexism was going to rain down on her from day one and she wouldn’t be considered very likable. So many of the people hate her for being a strong woman in the 1990s. I didn’t expect it to be this bad I…

You couldn’t have found a more enthusiastic Bernie supporter than me. I voted in the primary for him in WA when we all knew it was over. That being said, no, I don’t think it would have been better. There are too many racist sexist dumb fucks in this country. They would have heard Jew or Socialist and shit their pants.
