@ZelenskyyUa I’m sorry Trump won. I’m sorry for whatever comes next. Thank you for your example of true leadership. Please know that half of my country is with you.
@GMan23677156@PaulAnleitner I’m saying even if they saw, it’s right to fight against misogyny and for separation of church and state. I get your point. Standing on principal nets nothing. But dang! Someone needs to stand up for what’s right, don’t they?
@The_Acumen House and senate are different than POTUS. Candidates know their voters better. Voters know their candidates better. “All elections are local” fits there. Racism and misogyny aren’t the only reasons she lost. But they are reasons.
Countless Americans are endangered now on a scale and intensity almost unheard of in modern America. Our first responsibility is to protect these people and resist these forces.
I thought this would hurt more than 2016 but it doesn't.
That was a shock. This is just confirmation.
We now know that 2016 wasn't a fluke or an aberration, that this is what the majority wants: whiteness, patriarchy, nationalism, hatred, nihilism.
Whether I want to spend the rest of my life in such a place is something my mind isn't prepared to consider.
Right now, I just know that I'm seeing the nation with my eyes fully open and there is no mistaking what so many people I Ioved and once respected, actually value.
As heartbreaking as that is, I now know where they stand, and I know it's nowhere I want to be.
My main thought:
We're probably going back, but we can't go anywhere.
Our era will be about protecting their attempts to dismantle the progress that was made in the last century or so. It's a more sober mission than pushing for progress but it is an important one. ☮️
Misogyny is so scary truly men of all races and all economic classes will come together against their own interests because their hatred for women (whether it’s subconscious or very much clear) prevails
This man lost to Biden.
Lost by ALOT.
If you think that this is ANYTHING other than misogyny at play you’re lying to yourself.
She is THE most qualified candidate on YEARS.
She is viciously intelligent and driven.
She is losing ground with MEN, latine & Blk voters.
