I think you’ve got the heart of it. People don’t care and thought other things were more important. The thing that kills me is that I wouldn’t have been so self-interested if i were in their position and that’s why I have such a hard time reconciling this.

Let’s say you’re right and gay marriage stays, which I’m not sure about since trump has repeatedly talked about overturning SCOTUS decision and returning gay marriage to a states issue. We still have absolutely no federal civil rights legislation including sexual orientation and gender identity and a Vice President…

Honest question: what should we do?

That’s cute that you think we’ll get bunks. I call the patch of dirt furthest away from the bucket well all be shitting in.

I can’t imagine. As a millennial queer woman, I at least got a few years of hope for our future. For children today, it’s like being tossed back to the 2007 all over again.

Right one will be made into a wallet.

Maybe wait a few months before moving unless you want to have a stroke. In a red state and I’ve been writing my representatives weekly since August. My fucking trump supporting asshole senator was declared the victor not five minutes after polls closed. What was the fucking point. Literally one of 13 people I voted…

I’m sure you’re a better person than I am, so this won’t make you feel any better, but I’m finding small comfort in that a lot of these white people are going to lose their houses and jobs in the most luxurious recession ever.

I watched Meghan cain on outnumbered just now. Where’s my participation trophy / cyanide capsule?  

They shouldn’t act racist and sexist if it makes them said to be called racist and sexist. I might not going to stop calling shit out just because it makes people sad.

The DNC falling apart for the last 20 years. Who else could we have run? I’m drawing a blank on who we should have run instead.

People voted for Johnson often because they couldn’t in good faith vote for trump. What you would have to assume is that people would have bit the bullet and flipped R to D if it weren’t for 3rd parties. There’s a bit of evidence for that in that it seems clear that Weld, Johnsons VP, seemed to be a traditional R who…

Literally who are these people. Who saw gay conversion therapy and thought that looked fucking dandy. Fuck them.

I sincerely thought we were about six months away from passing ENDA and realizing it’s probably 20 years away now is just heartbreaking.

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.
