9. Yep. Student debt. Gun control reform. Advancing women's rights. Improving police/minority relations

All put on the back burner thanks to the idiots who couldn't vote for Hillary/downticket Dems because they "just didn't like her," she "didn't earn their vote," etc. The same people will be asking in a few years where their revolution is and why the Dems are doing nothing to advance it.

...because you fucking idiots removed their power to advance the issues you care about. Some revolutionary you are.

It makes my heart sick. I was so looking forward to living in Hillary's kind-hearted world. My anxiety can't take this. It's like I have to find a way to delude myself into thinking the world is different for the next four years to avoid getting physically sick over and over.
