We don’t live in a democracy. We live in a representative republic. And if you want more than 2 parties, perhaps you should work on that at a local level and between presidential elections instead of popping your head up out of the ground every four years only to get it shot off. Yet again.

And by “DNC” you mean Democratic party voters, who voted for Clinton as their candidate? (Pls don’t go the whole “but they scheduled debates during sporting events!” route - that stuff is just embarrassing.)

It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is the one true gatekeeper of…

This shit is so dangerous. It erodes our faith in our democratic institutions. We may survive a trump presidency but the US won’t be able to survive a complete loss of faith in things like our elections and our press for example. It will breed widespread corruption and authoritarianism as people will think trump is…

That is all

How many, “I don’t need to bother to vote. No one is going to vote for Trump anyway,” did you hear? I heard that over and over.

At least with Clinton, you would have gotten some of the shit you wanted to see. How’s your progressive platform looking now, dipshit?

You are exactly right, I should not have included people who actually COULD NOT vote. My deepest apologies to them, and I should have worded my comment differently.

My friend confessed to voting third party. She then cried for weeks and is upset that Hillary lost. She seems to think that her teeny third party had a chance in hell of winning.

Also Trump’s super pacs ran anti-semitic ads so yes, they would have gone there. He’s also pro 2 state solution which the evangelicals are so against. Which is weird because they dont like jews. But yea, Bernie would likely not have won.

And the thing is ... anarchist shenanigans are nothing new. They’ve been fucking up social movements for well over a century now. About 20 years ago, my husband and I were traveling in Germany when we came upon a student protest. Since we were roughly their age, we were invited to join in the march, so we did. Fun,…

I had an ex-friend who actually went to Standing Rock to protest. But she didn’t bother to vote, and said if she had she would have voted third party. This conversation was a couple of days after the election and I was (AM) furious so I accidentally spoke my mind about how mind bogglingly stupid that was.

This was your first presidential election, right? Clearly you don’t know about the opposition research the GOP had compiled on him. Plus, plenty of pieces have confirmed that many of these so-called new populists were in theory on board with his platform, until they realized it would have involved heavy government…

#berniewouldhave, not #notberniewouldof (just saying’)

I am so fucking angry about ALL. OF. THIS.

Yeah. I’m wondering today why my newsfeed is so silent. After the primary was over, the Bernie fans who refused to take part in the Hillary/Trump election would do nothing but post about Standing Rock and complain that Obama was just a fake liberal like Hillary because he didn’t move fast enough on Dakota Access. …

As if she cares. Her, her kids and grandkids won’t be touched by any of this.

I’ll admit to being irrationally angry at Susan Sarandon. Are you sorry now, Susan?? Now it’s something you actually care about?

Hijacking by Black Bloc anarchists is how legitimate protest gets subverted. Divisive disruption by agent provocateurs and stigmatization of peaceful protesters by associating them with violent anarchists are well-known tactics to subvert nonviolent social movements. This isn’t really something I feel like snickering…
