A few months ago, my mom shared a Youtube video containing “proof” that President Obama was born in Kenya. Although it’s annoying the internet makes it easier to share this bs, I think many people, my mother included, would believe this regardless of whether of not Facebook allowed them to share this stuff.

I’m so sorry. There are american voters who actually believe that there is no war with Ukraine, or that Russia is just fighting terrorists there, or something, and think that Putin is a great guy. I’m really sorry they’re so stupid.

I don’t know what his voters are going to think when he does nothing to improve their lives.

I just... I don’t get what’s happening in the US. I’m so angry right now I can’t stop shaking. Even if Trump is struck by lightning tomorrow and as a result his entire personality changes and he becomes the greatest President your country has ever had, you’ll still have voted (overwhelmingly?) for a man who admitted…

I’m not a huge cry-er. I take things on the chin and move on. I felt such immense pride casting my vote for such a qualified and amazing woman earlier today. I stopped and took the moment in. I immediately saved my I voted sticker.

I feel like this has irreparably damaged the office of POTUS, tbh. It used to be prestigious, and you had to work for it for decades, postition yourself, gain knowledge and skill and directly-related experience. Now we’ve elected a reality tv star with no ability to form a coherent paragraph, much less policy, and…

It’s more like Nixon and Watergate and his resigning......that was pretty bad. We pretty much thought the country was falling apart and we’d never recover. So we elected Jimmy Carter, a really brilliant, really nice man after that. And then everyone decided that he was too much of a weakling because he didn’t bomb…

Not even in the same universe. It’s actually almost funny to remember how important it felt at the time, because it was so utterly inconsequential compared to this.

I think this feels less like 2000 than like 2004. The horror of George W Bush wasn’t as apparent in the wake of the 2000 election as it was in ‘04, so while Gore’s loss was upsetting it didn’t feel life-changing at the time. Meanwhile in 2004, I have clear memories of being drunk and rocking myself back and forth at…

Midterms. For the love of God, people, destroy the Republicans in 2018.

In 2000 people were worried about stupidity taking power and slowing social change. It wasn’t nearly as disappointing as the idea of hate taking power and reversing civil rights.

Tomorrow the world will see the real America, already great, long overdue in having a woman as the head of state, and yes- still with work to do yet. Hope springs eternal.

The election is on your lot, American citizens. Don’t disappoint me. Don’t disappoint the world.

man i love the first two seasons of this show. when olivia was just a badass and it was more procedural and there was no b16 and CIA shit

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

Honestly, when I thought I couldn’t get angrier about this election.

We made the choice to end a wanted pregnancy this time last year- we were lucky (?) that the defects were severe enough to show up on an ultrasound at 14 weeks. Seriously screw him, and all those who believe that this is a choice that extends beyond the woman and medical team (and if relevant, her partner or other…

My wife and I recently lost our twin boys, Anton and Colin, at 20 weeks gestation. They were handsome, they were healthy, but my wife had an unforeseen and undiagnosed incompetent cervix despite being on bedrest for most of the 20 weeks, and we were advised that we need to deliver or we would lose three lives instead…

Oh I must have missed the part where Turmp declares his intention to grab her by her inner goddess

The way I see it, this is not the time to go for a 3rd party, it’s too late in the game to make a difference. This election will be fucked if people who dislike Clinton on principle don’t vote for her over Trump. Suck it up and vote for her as the lesser of 2 evils (even if it’s a small margin) and then start…
