Which ones? If you're talking Stein, I'm all for it. She's a self-centered bitch if ever I heard one. But I'd like to know if there are any others that should be on my radar.

That being said, I am smugly comforted by our Senators - Murray and Cantwell. I'd vote for them for POTUS in a heartbeat, and if it's shown that they have colluded, I'll just have to walk into the Pacific or something.

ETA: I don't want either one to run for POTUS. They are very effective where they are, which is why I'm conflicted about Warren possibly running....

Dear worry,

If you're ever-so-coyly talking about Jill, you lose. Jill is nothing but a self-serving bitch who has NO experience in national or international politics (and no, sitting at Pootin's table for reasons I've never had explained to me doesn't count). Please remember that Jill grifted Americans for $$$ and despite fervent promises, never made good on them.

I may be a tad too young to be a hippie, but my SO is. We know what hippies did and do stand for. Jill ain't it.

tl;dr: go away, trollette. It's a shitty strategy to try to deflect here - especially when she kowtowed to anti-vaxxers.

Yeah, I saw that too, also.

Maybe she and her family can be relocated as Gypsies to California, PA...

After all, she seems to have the shit part of it figured out already.

I wonder if they'll show him signing pardons the stupid way he does his executive orders...

I feel for his kids. But considering their genetic makeup, never mind.

And once again, cuz I really think this deserves attention, studies have found (I work with a SPED principal) that unvaccinated kids are being diagnosed with autism at a higher rate than vaccinated ones.

Funny Jill didn't mention that...

PS - If I need to find a cite, I will. But I'm taking the word of a PhD in Education and Special Ed who has no reason to lie about this.

Or "Sleepy Eyes" Carson.

I think Bernie is going to be implicated. There's a reason he went on Ari Melber and said that he knew the Russians were trying to divide Dems. I don't think he was actively involved with them but he basically admitted that like McConnell, he knew the Russians were attacking our democracy and he chose to stay silent. Also, remember only two Senators voted against Russia sanctions: Rand Paul and Bernie.

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that Tulsi Gabbard goes down too. She's a nasty piece of work and, like Stein, a big Russophile.

I didn't know you were a Republican. Well... noble victory, I guess.

You seem to be living in some alternate dimension, in which you won something when I lost something.

You lost too.

Your donors are pulling you in a direction that your voters will loudly oppose. And enough of us will refuse to support your right-leaning tendency that you'll keep losing.

Lulz.

Remind me again who the Republican nominee was?

+2.1 against Donald Trump is embarrassing. The Republicans didn't win this election. The Democrats lost an unlosable election.

But please! Continue to revel in your didn't-win-nothin popular vote victory. Democrats are awesome at moral victories. They just suck at actual victories. -1100 seats in the last decade.

Why, did you forget? It was Donald Trump, maybe you've heard of him? He is turning out to be this nation's worst nightmare. Oh, right, NEXT worst to the fevered imaginings of what a Hillary administration would have looked like.

Remind me again, what percentage the Independent got this election?Ooh, looke at that! The same number of faithless electors as Faith Spotted Eagle!

ONE! Damn, that's some real power, son.

Could you actually tally up how many hold elected office for me? You can include dogcatchers, if you'd like, to pad your numbers a bit.

Look, playing this sports-team game with political parties is bizarre. Politics is a PROCESS.

So when you folks want to start to set things right by actually showing up to work on the problems at the lowest levels, instead of an every-four-year vanity-project grasp for the brass ring, let me know, by, you know, being able to point to measurable results provided by a legitimate political party.
