We are all about to find out what happens when oligarchs are allowed to run the system. Trump appears to be promoting a brazenly kleptocratic agenda. If there ever was a time for Hamilton Electors, this is it (so far there are seven).

I’m pretty certain the opportunity to avert a civil war is past. We’ve been fighting about the New Deal since its inception, about labor rights since the concept of a “union” was introduced, and about whether everyone in the States is really a citizen since the Civil Rights Act.

Yeah I don’t know if I can stick around if we get overrun by those types here. It’ll really bum me out.

Michael Flynn, Trump’s pick for national security advisor, tweeted about this crazy conspiracy theory. Flynn’s son is tweeting today about how this is a fucking false flag.

This is what happens when you feed delusion.

If she objects in the moment, she’s called unprofessional and is still pressured into doing it.

It’s strange to me that this is news now. I mean I’m glad it’s being talked about. But she said this FOREVER. Now people believe it because they heard men verify it?

Yep. Like many of us I’ve been thinking about what the Democrats did wrong in this campaign (and they did commit some serious strategic blunders). And then I think about what they can do to win those voters next time.

i can’t muster up any sympathy for any of them. all i got is a bunch of “NO SHIT, SHERLOCK”s.

The Rust Belt states were already pretty moderate Dems in the first place, look at how their representatives voted on the ACA, so them flipping is not just the DNC being unexciting. I’m not giving up, but Trump’s completely vacuous precedence is unnerving. The GOP could continue to breed a generation of dogmatic…

I love how stupid and gullible female Trump voters are.

I am angry enough over this election to wish that everyone who voted for trump experiences some serious karma in the next 4 years, but I don’t think there’s any way for that to happen without hurting everyone else. Sigh.

Out of all the people posted, I have the least amount of sympathy for her. You have a female candidate who has literally spent her entire career fighting for women’s rights, discusses it in almost every speech, and is following a President who passed the Lilly Ledbetter act. And, yet, you chose the Orange Misogyst who…

Right??? Why would you (in this case, this crazy Trump lady) possibly think a misogynist Republican would fix the wage gap better than a female Democrat who made being a woman and dealing with women’s issues a pretty decent part of the campaign (whether that’s a good thing or not)?

Right, FFS, privatizing Social Security and dismantling Medicare have been part of the Republican party platform for decades. I don’t understand why anyone that needs them would vote Republican.

And while they are chanting “lock her up”, they are perfectly fine with Trump appointing General Petraeus to a cabinet position even though he admitted guilty to passing classified information to his mistress.

Can you really claim innocence when it’s their willful ignorance of things that have been common knowledge for thirty years that Donny isn’t legit or competent?

Only those who didn’t vote for that shitbag are innocent. The rest are fucking dumb and deserve to suffer for their terrible, terrible decision-making.

You guys are nicer than I am. I’m still in the no sympathy camp.

I wish we had used “con-man Trump” in the way that he was using “Lyin’ Ted” or “crooked Hillary”. A label that would’ve easily stuck. It seems to me that the average American is susceptible to advertising/repetition, and nobody likes a con-man!
