15. Completely delusional.

It is terribly sad to see people thrashing about and carrying on about this loss.

In the meantime all of this money and effort could have been spent to make sure minority voters get the necessary documents to vote in voter ID states.

The money and energy could have been spent finding and preparing candidates for the 2018 election. The campaign started almost a month ago and people haven't started staking their ground.

The money and energy could have been used to reinforce LGBT organizations and get their message out so that people who see hate speech will stand against it.

It could have been spent on anything other than crying over spilt milk. We lost. Time to put on our work boots (as I heard one Transgender woman say yeasterday on Fresh Air) and get to work.
