When I was 10, my social studies teacher told our class that “A woman will never be elected president because women don’t vote for other women.” Not having the finely-honed misogynistic-bullshit detector I do today in elementary school, I believed him. It was years later before I realized what a horrifically fucked-up…

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.

Today I’ve been on blast telling all the bernie-or-busters to knock it off and start supporting Clinton while working to change congress for the better. Seriously, it’s getting old.

The booing and hissing at the convention when people were trying to speak, the “what do I do noooooooooooow” all over social media.

You…

Quit bitching about losing and start focusing on the down ticket. The Senate is up for grabs. If they got more “Bernie” types into Congress maybe things like TPP wouldn’t reach POTUS desk. Start your revolution at the state level. Where’s all the outrage towards Kansas and the Brownback trickle down gone bad…

You know, when I worked somewhere that didn’t allow facial hair per dress regulations, but had no regulations about hair length, I thought I was a rebel by growing my hair out as long as I could while keeping my beard just at the 5 o’clock shadow level all the time. I think June’s got me beat.

I’m so proud - of you, of her, of us - of the country. My grandmother had five daughters by my grandfather. He was Catholic, so refused to wear condoms. She was pregnant 15 times. He wanted a son. He beat her, and her daughters, whenever he felt like it, and the few times it got so bad that a neighbour or daughter…

How about: Grow the fuck up, take your participation trophy and go the fuck home. I supported him, children. AND if you IN FACT actually DO support his position, run for local office and change things starting AT home. VOTE in the damn midterms. Show up and put up, but for now? SHUT UP.

If he’s smart, he won’t. She’s a really gifted debater.

and a soft 4 at that.

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…

I cried at almost every vote. I’m dehydrated

Bernie achieved a lot. He didn’t win and that sucks for those like myself who voted for him but to cry like it was all for naught is to diminish the impact he had. Time to move forward.

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.

Sometimes an ace is a 1. I'd go with a Queen.

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

Big ups to Bernie for signing the scorecard in the manner he did. Don’t cry for him, Berniemania—he kept his promise, don’t keep your distance.

Have to admit I teared up when the woman from the South Dakota delegation said “the first president to be called Madame President” while casting the decisive votes.

Got a little lump in my throat reading this. I’m not saying we don’t have a ways to go yet, but goddamn. It’s always good to have a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how hard those who came before us fought (which is why we can’t get complacent!).

Not going to lie, I want Hillary to win but I’m not looking forward to 4-8 years of ramped up sexist attacks against her. I’ve been accused of being a “vagina voter” three times this year...by both Bros and Trumpers.
