Oprah’s playing Deb!

I wanted to see Bernie win; I did not want to see his supporters boo and hiss their way through the convention and take away from what is without a doubt a historic moment. You guys, your issues are my issues - or are they? Because from where I’m standing Bernie’s done a great job of pushing those issues and now…

Women and minorities have been dutifully pulling the lever for white men for decades (when they were allowed to at all) and you never heard from them even a fraction of the hysterics that Sanders supporters have been displaying during the DNC because they didn’t get their #1 choice.

In no way empty symbolism. So many of the issues written about on this blog would not be a problem if only women were regarded as actual valued members of half of the human race.

To the diehard Bernie people crying in these comments and, according to my TV screen, literally crying at the convention:

Me before: I’ll never be satisfied.

Yayyyyy, Silvertiger!!!!!!! So glad your wait has paid off!!!!!! xoxo

Congratulations. I’ve been a big Hillary detractor but when glorious Michelle pointed out that we (I’m in my 20s) pointed out that we take for granted a woman could become president the history of it hit me

My mom said she saw what she thought she would never see in her lifetime. A black POTUS and now the 1st woman presidential nominee for the democratic party.

So excited to see that our new matriarch is punching boners in the greys already! YASSS KWEEEN SLAY THEIR ERECTIONSSSS

This roll call has had me ugly crying like crazy. Jerry Emmett, the Emanuel Nine, WYOMING in their BLM shirts... it’s just been a wonderful display of American greatness. The orange man can suck my tit.

When I was six years old, my mom showed me Geraldine Ferraro on TV and explained why it was so important that a woman had been nominated as Vice President. I grew up believing a woman would be president one day. And now that day is imminent, and I could not be prouder to be an American right now.

Omg guys, this roll call! So much love! As a resident of ohio, i teared up when Obergefell spoke on behalf of the OH delegation.

I’m 66 years old. I became a feminist when I was 5, and my older sister was told she could “join” a model airplane club my father belonged to. She could pay dues, but not attend meetings or meet because she was a girl.(My father promptly “unjoined” that club!) I’ve been waiting 61 years for today.

Y’all, I am in tears over here. This moment is beautiful. My sister, my tiny new baby niece - they are living in a time when they could conceivably be president.

I’m with her.

This continues to astound me. We use these chemicals in a clean room, and they must be used under a hood. The chemical doesn’t become less dangerous because it’s being used as a beauty product!

So you’re arguing that wage theft, slave labor, and unsafe working conditions are better?

It’s almost like there’s a reason regulations needed to be set!

I'm always shocked when unfettered capitalism turns out to be exploitive. Shocked I tell you, simply shocked.
