"But, but, but, there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats!"

Anyone who refused to vote for Hillary, voted for Jill Stein or stayed home, enjoy your new dystopia.

At least we’ll never have to hear that the next election is the most important election of our lifetime. That ship sailed in 2016.

What’s sad, and hard to believe, is that some still feel that way.

I’m furious at these assholes who think there’s no difference between the two parties. I couldn’t have made it clearer.

I share your outrage at those that didn’t vote for Hillary.

She is not supporting SS, or Jill Stein, or anyone but Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

It's the Susan Sarandons and Jill Steins and the "I just don't trust Hillary" types who got us into this mess.

It's the people who bought into their BS and voted 3rd party or not at all that got us into this mess. Along with the "let's all play nice" over the last 40 years as we watched republicans slowly dismantle everything!

Besides, 2018 got us Congress. In 2020 we won the Senate. In 2022, we dislodged the fat guy.

So maybe your ship sailed, but many of us are still fighting.

It isn’t over. Not in 2016 or 2020. But if you prefer to wallow in an election six years ago, then I don’t see what that gets anyone.

& increase that posters post count. It doesn't help us at all win elections & may scare off some potential voters.

I got involved in the pro-choice fight in 1976, the first year that the Republicans included the anti-choice plank in their platform. Since 1968, I’ve been marching in the streets on one issue or another.

I’m 71 and sick by what’s happening in this country. I didn’t purposely try to pee in your Wheaties this morning.
