Ugh, I’m so sorry. I’m in the same boat. Numerous trips to vet and pet ER with very sick dog, up to about $3k out of pocket. After dropping dog at vet for more tests one morning last week, car wouldn’t start and I just burst into tears. I’m working long hours and right now my self-care consists of comforting my dog…

Backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement, burying the Clean Power Plan, opening up public lands to extractive industry, KXL, DAPL, removing all reference to climate from the White House website, threats to repeal the Endangered Species Act, telling automakers he’ll roll back CAFE standards, gag on NPS and others,…

I’m sorry I told you to go fuck yourself. That wasn’t fair or neighborly. And I understand (I think) your anger, and I am angry too. I’m angry at everything, myself included. I remember reading a NYT article a week or two before the election about how Trump was despondent and holed up alone and not prepared to face…

The bad news is that Mayberry isn’t up for reelection until 2020, but the governor is up in 2018...

There is a nascent push to develop tools for everyday voters across the country that provide full voting records AND any public statements on issues not only for US Representatives and Senators, but also for state legislators and governors who are up for re-election in 2018 with the hope that people will get engaged…

Thank you for your work too! I’m lucky that I come from a pretty active family, so it’s hard to judge what’s more or less than anyone else, but I’m always excited when people do *anything*. It can be intimidating to get into it at first.

And as I said before, I own not campaigning actively for her. I never once said that I couldn’t do more. Of course I could have done more. We ALL could have done more. I’m confident you could have done more. And we should all be looking inward and thinking about what we could have done. That said, I did donate money…

I offer my background to further my point that there’s a bigger picture. If there are a number of people who are reliably engaged over time who are not engaging at all or to the same level, that might bear some scrutiny. One person or a few people can easily be chalked up to personal issues. But in the aggregate, it’s…

I’m at work and on a mobile. So yes, when I come home tonight I can paw through some of the conversations that spanned multiple posts by people that show some pretty gross name calling. Since you seem to have rather a lot of free time on your hands, maybe while you look through some of those looking for more evidence…

Also, I’m not really sure how calling out comments I made suggesting that neither Hillary nor Bernie supporters could be considered a monolithic group support your screed, but sure. . .

There were numerous instances where people here said that I had “internalized misogyny” and called me a Bernie Bro. And that’s fine. I never responded by calling them any of the gross slurs people used against fervent HRC supporters. And in those comments are places where I say that some of her policies were very…

Oh dear, your focus on “feelings” is bordering on willful ignorance. That’s not what this is about and I think you know this.

The tragedy of the commons

My, what an interesting, “alternative” retelling of our earlier exchange. Your opinion was that even in a forum here at Jezebel ostensibly for political discourse, it was heresy to utter a discouraging word about HRC. It emboldened enemies and turned away would-be voters in droves - nay, lost the election for her! -…

Firstly, why do you feel the need to treat Bernie supporters as one monolithic group? They were just as diverse as Hillary supporters, warts and all.

if Hillary got all of the Stein votes, she still would have lost. And if you think a single Johnson voter was ever going to break for her, I have a bridge to sell you. Move the fuck on.

You keep repeating “fact” after your specious statements, as though it will magically make them factual. Kind of like when Trump has to tell everyone he’s the best.

That’s no moon!!

They can bill me!

I also really loved the episode where there was some kind of witchhunt commission looking into an accident that then centered on Adama’s knowledge of Boomer and Chief’s relationship. “Why did you allow the relationship to continue,” asked the McCarthy-like investigator. “I’m a soft touch,” deadpanned Adama, with both…
