I’d have been okay with that. He’s pro-choice, in favor of LGBTQ rights, pro-reasonable gun control, not horrible on immigration, accepts the reality of anthropogenic global warming...

I kind of hope they go four years without having Trump sketches. Mention him in Weekend Update if you must, but no Trump sketches.

The post-press conference commentary I listened to talked about Obama showing great restraint by not engaging on Bannon. Then they played a clip of Kellyanne Conway saying “if people think I would have managed a campaign that was based on alt-right principles, I’m offended by that and the 60 million voters would be…

Exactly. We act as if it were the candidates who at fault. Trump is nothing more than a culmination of awfulness in this country. I hate his supporters. He is and has always been a grifter of the highest order. A close look at his dealings and that lays bare everything about him and his family. The people who voted…

you know what i will miss most about obama?

I didn’t get to listen to the entire press conference but during all the parts I did hear, I noticed that Obama avoided mentioning our president-elects name, except for once. He specifically used “incoming president” or “president-elect”. He must have taken a cue from his wife, which made me happy. Let’s all do the…

We won’t see a presidential press conference of this caliber once Trump takes over.

“If your relatives voted for Trump, you have to respect that.”

“I’m personally offended that you think I would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going philosophies,” she told reporters assembled in the lobby of Mr. Trump’s office building.

See, here’s the problem - it wasn’t against the rules at the time. It is NOW, but that fact doesn’t matter because you don’t bother to pay attention to the facts. Our country belongs to the low information voter.

Voter turn out was very, very low for the Democrats. A lot of people were saying that they would hold their nose and vote Clinton, but after the latest “scandal” with the emails, I could see them saying “fuck it” and staying home. My father sure did.

This is exactly what I was talking about with my boyfriend recently. No one really reads anything anymore and the internet is, in a way, kind of a negative in that regard. People just see headlines and biased articles and make their decision off of that.

I hate to publish my text exchange with nanny again because it felt creepy enough the first time around, but she told me flat out she voted for trump because of “the new Hillary investigation”. People don’t actually read and gather facts anymore. Votes are easily swayed by misinformation gleaned off Facebook.

I love Hillary, I voted for her without reservations, I cried when she lost.

I don’t think it changed the mind of anyone who voted on Tuesday but I would suspect it affected voter turn out for her.

It’s like every person you hate assembling to form an Asshole Voltron.

50k may sound middle class (depending on where you live, in some areas it’s definitely not), but under 30k does not. And Clinton won the the under 30k by an even larger margin than she did the 30k to 50k bracket. Which means that by and large the most economically insecure demos went for Clinton.

Sanders’s perscription doesn’t apply to the core of Republican voters who voted for Trump to take away abortion rights and gay rights and dismantle Obama’s legacy. It doesn’t apply to the majority of Trump’s supporters, and there were many racists who enthusiastically supported him as well.

Except for Van Jones on CNN. He is the ONLY person I heard speak out on the issue of race since the moment it became apparent DT was going to be President-Elect. There are so, so, so many people willfully not seeing the underlying (though I think it’s pretty fucking overt) racism — and sexism — still permeating…

It has been interesting that there have been a few whispers among current and former NBA players that the champions from that league may decline the White House visit while Trump is in office.
