Every network is showing the picture of Mike Flynn at a Putin dinner

they should point out that Jill Stein is at the same dinner. at the same table.

imagine being dumb enough to vote for her, while throwing out words like 'corporatist' and 'neoliberal' at the rest of us.

tsk tsk.

If HRC was president, we would not be talking about Jeff Sessions as AG

and Coretta Scott King's words would not have been silenced in the Senate.

We would not have confirmed someone for Education Secretary who hates everything good about public education.

Maybe some people need this kind of turmoil to feel woke, but I am woke AF. I don't need other people's rights taken away to feel woke.



Woke = socially aware and active
AF = as fuck

As trump stops refugees from immigrating, let's remember this email HRC sent

It is literally heartbreaking to see the last few days of the obama presidency

I will miss this man and his family, his love of his country, and his grace under such disgraceful obstruction, more than I ever thought possible.

i cannot believe the depth of shit he had to endure without getting any of the shit on himself.

I really hope I live long enough to see another president of this caliber again. I suspect though that this a once in a lifetime type of thing.

I have a lot of empathy and sympathy for working class voters who voted for HRC

in large numbers, of all colors and genders and religions.

I, especially feel terrible for these people who are in red states, and will be hideously affected by a trump presidency.

I have oodles of sympathy that their social security net will be removed, their healthcare may disappear, their job may disappear, and that their air and water will get poisoned.

My loyalties, my feelings, my love and my empathy lies with these people. Good people who stood up against bigotry and economic injustice and social injustice, who will suffer needlessly.

I do not waste my feelings on bigots. I do not waste it on people who did this to themselves.

I want more articles written about these folks.

Do you think if HRC had just focused more on economic justice and not on social justice

Russia would not have intervened in this election?

Comey would not have sent out that letter on Friday before elections cutting her lead from 7 points to 2-3 points?

Just asking for a friend.

Samantha Bee: identity politics is the dismissive term for what we used to call civil rights

“Identity politics is the dismissive term for what we used to call ‘civil rights’ and ‘equality,’” Bee said on her December 12 show. Also, she made sure to add, white and male is an identity, as is being Christian — the two fronts Steve Doocy’s Fox News roundtable and other like-minded media outlets feel are most under attack.

Basically, as Vox’s Matt Yglesias put it: “There is no other way to do politics than to do identity politics.”

What’s more, Bee said, standing up for civil rights can, and did, win Democrats elections. “You know what happens when Democrats stand up for transgender rights? They win,” she said, pointing to North Carolina’s gubernatorial race, which was recently called for Democrat Roy Cooper over Republican incumbent Pat McCrory, a staunch supporter of the state’s discriminatory anti-LGBTQ laws.

The Dangerous Myth That Hillary Clinton Ignored the Working Class

There are many norms that got broken this election cycle, that ultimately lead to an EC loss

and I don't think we should normalize these things. Part of us running around like headless chickens trying to fix the democratic party, is normalizing many things that went wrong this election, and not having a plan for them in future elections

1. How do we hold the FBI accountable for interfering in the Democratic process?

-- Comey should not have editorialized when he chose not to indict. That was breaking a norm
-- He shouldn't have sent a vaguely worded letter to congress a few days before the election. That was breaking a norm

2. How to we ensure foreign governments do not interfere in our elections?

--Russian hacked the DNC and Podesta's emails. That's breaking a norm. It ended up with a complete asymmetry in transparency between both candidates.

3. How do we ensure both parties candidates release tax returns before an election? DJT did not. That was breaking a norm since Nixon.

4. How do we ensure the media covers both D and R candidates as though both could be president? The media covered HRC as though she was PEOTUS already and therefore needed severe vetting, whereas they covered DJT as a celebrity who occasionally did eccentric things. This is especially true of TV media, less true of print media.

That's breaking a norm.

5. The proliferation of fake news and fake news websites by both conservative propagandists and random foreigners. Even some Democrats started citing from these propaganda cites to claim that the primaries had been stolen. Not to mention how many said absurd things like paid protesters, Hillary killed enemies etc.

That's breaking a norm.

Clinton won majorities among voters in the rust belt who said the economy was their PRIMARY issue

So much for us not having an economic message.

Check it for yourself.
