And it’s made it ok for racists to come out of the closet. To air their hatred in the sunshine. If they wanted to be that way in their living rooms, well, that sucks but at least it was quiet. Now it can be shouted from the rooftops with no reservations.

I honestly don’t see Trump sticking with it for four years. If he does, he won’t go for a second term. I don’t think he understands just how hard the job really is. Presidents work from before sunrise to well beyond sundown, on politics. Usually boring politics, and having to constantly deal with other people with…

I think there are white women who are just uncomfortable by a woman in power.

I’m one of the 43 percent who voted for Clinton because the civil rights of all women, of my GLBT friends, and my non-white friends fucking matter to me.

Come on, she was a public defender. That was her job. Anyone accused of rape shouldn’t have access to a lawyer? That is a vital part of our constitution.

Last night showed us that white housewives from the South and Mid West are still pissed about her cookies comment. They are willing to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

Dems won a plurality of votes in the Presidency. I can’t emphasize this enough, Hilary won the popular vote. Republicans had the right distribution of voters in the right states. A 1-2% difference in the national vote would have swung Florida, PA, New Hampshire (and the election).

I don’t think so. Looking at the data, I don’t think anyone could have. People are saying Bernie or Joe Biden would have. No, they wouldn’t. The antisemitic discourse has been rampant this entire year and Biden worked for the Black man who these voters are reacting to. That’s oversimplifying, I know, and I could go on…

Yesterday in my local grocery shop, I stood behind a disabled woman who couldn’t afford 2 cans of spam, a box of lemon bars and generic brand soup. My friend quickly paid for it and brought it out to her, and it brought this woman who had to ask the cashier after everything was scanned what she was up to cost wise to…

Support thread for anyone who is FUCK YOU EVERYONE fuck you FUCK you fuckity fuckity fucckkkkkkkk shit ass tits shit ass dick fuck FUCK...right now.

I’m a blue dot in Texas. And while my vote might not matter right now, it might very well matter in the future. Voting now can set the tone for what our future can become. This little drop could one day become a small pond, a river, a lake.

Also, friendly reminder, that this isn’t just a presidential election. Local NY politics are not as deep blue as the presidential race. So yes, you damn well should wait in line to vote. Use the time to read up on your ballot. And fuck anyone who says it doesn’t matter.

Tell Black North Carolinians or Latino Nevadans that voting doesn’t matter.

I’m hoping this is the second-best thing that happens for an American woman today.

Alex Pareene’s self-important explanation for why he may or may not deem voting in a presidential election worthy of his time was the single worst thing I have read this election season.

I came to the USA with my parents at 10 years old and became a citizen just a few days after Obama’s reelection, so today marks both my 4 years as a citizen AND my first vote ever! I got home from working at the bar at 3 am and made it to polling station by 7 (as to not be late for my other job at 9). I was so excited…

my dad always told me not to do things because girls don’t do them. girls don’t play these kinds of sports. girls don’t move away from home and leave their families. girls don’t argue with their sisters. girls don’t do this and they can’t do that and they shouldn’t do that. and every time he said shit like that my jaw…

Here I am in my 17 year old Bebe pantsuit having proudly cast my vote for HRC. Feeling good, team, feeling good.

I live in a mail-only state, so I completed my ballot at home, mailed it in two weeks ago, and checked my jurisdiction’s ballot tracker last week to make sure my signature on the outside had not been challenged. It had not.

“Voting is fine, but it’s not enough about me. How can I make it less about other people and more about my perception of myself?”
