Don’t blame me, I voted for Jill Stein.

Gonna miss you, Diamond Joe

I had this conversation with a co-worker. All I could really think of are Bernie (who is too old) and Elizabeth Warren. My co-worker (who is a woman) told me she wouldn’t have a shot because she’s a woman too and my angry bitter heart pulled a reverse Grinch and shrunk 3 sizes.

Jill Stein is nothing more than a vanity candidate. She has no relevant experience, and her policy positions are dangerously incoherent and irrational. Anyone who voted for her should be ashamed of themselves.

Omg, yes fuck you Susan Sarandon. I hope you enjoy clinging to your ideological purity while Trump guts this country and drags us back to 1851 or whenever he believes America was great before.

I’m sending RBG super vitamins is what I’m doing
And whatever Stephen Breyer is having too

And I’m going to start watching Fox News, so I can see what Bret Baier and Anne Coulter and Sean Hannity have planned for us in the run up to 2020.
I’ll report back.

“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”

What if I already live in Canada? Can I please stay here?

I, for one, am about ready for the bottom to fall out and finally get me some of the class consciousness Marx promised 150+ years ago. It’s about damned time!

It isn’t a hot take. Its a cogent argument that explains quite a bit more about how and why this happened than pieces I’ve read by Bouie and others. Identity politics backfired miserably. Guilt is not a positive emotion and make no mistake, this was a referendum against progressivism, NOT a protest vote against

Everyone I know who voted Johnson voted Republican down ticket. That’s just 3 people and completely anecdotal, but if you really forced Johnson voters to pick Trump or Clinton, I’m not sure it would’ve swung the election in her favor anyway.

Get behind a guy like Eric Garcetti. Do it now. That way in 2020 the DNC will have a unifying force to be reckoned with....

I guess I don’t understand his platform that well, but I thought he took votes more from the Repubs than from Dems?

Yet Trump outperformed Romney among blacks and Latinos. I can’t even.

The only silver lining is for Alec Baldwin: at least he knows he will be gainfully employed by NBC for the next 4 years.

Post mortem, I think we need to take stock of ourselves.

If this election, along with the Brexit vote and the 2015 British election, has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t do shit (politically speaking) without the support of middle-of-the-road white people. You can’t advance feminist causes without wining over men and women who aren’t self-identified feminists. You

I know I’ll always have Jalopnik to bring me the cars. Until Emperor Trump deports the entire Univision staff.

hold me sir Patrick, for I am about to fall apart

I can honestly say that I’m not shocked by the results. The media (including this site) gave Trump so much free publicity . . . “Trump this, Trump that” everywhere we go . They say any publicity is good publicity, and multiplied by the that fact that he’s a popular celebrity, that makes him basically untouchable,
