But it was so lovely. I can imagine her saying it.



I missed this tweet--dated the day after the horrible election.

There are no winners. Half the country has openly voted for the oppression of LGBT's,


minorities', and women's rights.

3. We lost the Reagan Dems a long time ago, even if they stayed on the registration list.

They weren't progressives, but Jill Stein's voters were.

You must be having a laugh, right? I would have to think most would have changed to vote in closed primaries?

Also, a tonne switched from Obama to Trump. The whole election seems all fucked. Every angle, every outcome. I was finally starting to feel better and now I am so upset again. That anti LGBT new law terrifies me. I am starting to wonder why I even keep my US Citizenship.

8. Many people don't vote in primaries. But I agree with what I think you are suggesting:

this election might well have been tampered with, and there should be an audit. Unfortunately, in states that use electronic machines with no paper trail, there is no satisfactory way to do that.

that is about to hit the nation. I fear the entire civil rights movement is going to be rolled back to pre Brown v Board of Education days. The Republicans are going to have the SCOTUS too. I so hope the old liberal lion judges can hold on for 4 years.

11. I know, I'm still in shock, too. It's unlike anything I've been through -- ever.

To see someone like Hillary, who did such a terrific job in the debates, and had such a strong resume, defeated by the evil male clown.

No election has ever hit me like this before.

15. No real Democrat voted for trump, that is a myth. But this isn't a myth

In Michigan, Hillary lost by .3%. Jill Stein received 1.3% of the vote. A similar situation occurred in Wisconsin, and other key states, which did make the difference in the election.

Anyone who voted for trump either a racist or has issues with race.
