My poor wife had the same experience this morning. I got up with her, hugged her, we talked for a few after seeing the news. 12 hour shift surrounded by trumpers and no outlet to vent.

To be fair, they should’ve voted Dem, but instead sat out against their own best interest.

The electorate is incredibly fucking stupid.

The strategy made sense to anyone with half a brain. It seems I overestimated the median American, though.

She’s probably on AIPAC payroll. Can’t upset America’s boss.

I kind of fucked up today and while going on a rant of how stupid these people were I equated them to believing in Santa in front of my one kid. Fortunately she’s young enough I played it off…

Latinos were the biggest loss as far as I can tell. There is a host of reasons why this group crumbled.

Let’s see how they like seeing family members deported.

Instead of doubling down on our beliefs with authenticity as the Right does (I mean, many abortion referendums did pass), we repeatedly cede ground to the Overton Window.

The problem is we don’t actually engage in the same degree of activism in the off-season and always let conservatives control the narrative on largely manufactured issues and half truths.

I watched an interview of her recently and found her very well spoken. Nice.

Yep, agreed.

Trump supporters should still vote for Stein though, if Trump himself is saying it though! (if you’re catching my drift, here).

Maybe Trump supporters should vote for her then.
