Completely agree. Did you see that Kentuckians are worried now that they may lose their Medicaid now that Trump has promised to repeal Obamacare? They cut off their nose to spite their face and I’m too angry to feel sorry for them at the moment. I’m more concerned about myself and my immediate family TBH. Anyone who…

LOL

They white, right? And probably upper middle class and better. PLEASE TELL ME I’M RIGHT.

Why is it “icky”? Because he’s a black man and she’s a white woman? True, they come from different backgrounds, but they genuinely like each other and obviously enjoy filming together.

Ugh. I keep saying it, but nothing is okay anymore. Nothing.

It’s particularly refreshing when done in the name of someone you know would hate it. Donations on behalf of that crazy alt-right uncle everyone clearly has would make for a great xmas gift for him... :)

Of the three people on my fb feed that were vehemently anti-Hillary and pro-third party, two were black men and were for Stein. The third was a white dude, who is a socialist. So, I’m going with penises.

That’s so AWESOME of you!!!! I looked up the ADL in my city yesterday. I’m going to donate to them, and the others too! You’re right. We must each do all we can! :) I’ll take any kind of relief right now. This feeling of dread is so heavy on my heart. Thank you!

Tom, let us take your scorn and channel it into constructive action. We all need to unite against a common enemy: Hitler 2.0 and the GOP. We can hate each other later and fight about it on the floors of congress after we win back majorities in both houses. Go ahead and cast that scorn. It is well deserved, I agree!…

I hate this argument too! Hell, I’d rather have Bush/Cheney than Trump/Pence. This is insane.

I know about five people who massively hate Hillary and spent the last several months acting like she is Mrs Skeletor von Hitler and they’re all upset about a Trump presidency like those things aren’t in any way causally related. And they are all straight white men because of fucking course.

Luckily (and unfortunately) it’s all actually fairly straight forward: X + Y is still less than Z. In all probability non-voters had more of an impact than 3rd party voters. On top of that, voter suppression was fairly minor although present. However in that tight a race, it can (and did) have significant impact.

i refuse to hate because i love them so much and have also realized i have a soft spot for celebrity reality/game shows. well celebrity game shows. ok i watch match game and hollywood game night. at first i thought we were being ironic. nope, we truly enjoy them.

yup. exactly. it must be awfully nice for people who feel so safe and secure that they can sneer at the rest of us for trying to avoid the cesspool and actual, literal danger of a Trump presidency.

We won’t know any hard data for weeks, but basically the best estimate based on exit polls is around 60% of third party voters wouldn’t have voted if the options were only Clinton or Trump. On top of that, only 1/4 of Johnson voters said they’d prefer Clinton to Trump (about 1/3 said Trump to Clinton and the rest…

I’m still Bernie all the way, but I fucking put on my big kid pants and phone banked for Hillary (and voted for her, of course). Precisely because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if the worst happened and Trump got elected and I hadn’t done my part. Everyone who was too busy getting high on their…

right, i have a friend like that. it was obnoxious that he didn’t have his priorities straight. but he lives in a sold blue state, so it didn’t get too bothered by his ‘screaming-into-the-void’ third party vote.

This completely.

That reminds me uncomfortably of antivaxxers. Like, third party voters and nonvoters are relying on the rest of us to vote for what they want in order to create enough herd immunity from the trump virus that they don’t actually have to go do it themselves. Selfish shitstains.

What upsets me most about third party voters in this election is that neither 3rd party candidate was even remotely decent. Voting for a terrible candidate just because they like the idea of having more than 2 mainstream parties is just so damn stupid. If we did have 4 mainstream parties and all but one…
