Take every democratic policy that polls at 60% or higher and push it through no matter what once they have all three branches. Pack the court and get as many cases in front of them that they will decide to hold things steady for as long as possible.

Norms are dead. If we try to restore them before fixing what has happened the last three years, then we are dumb as ****.

I agree with you, but I am very convinced that the “we are dumb as ****” wing of the party will win out

Our senators just finished bringing talk therapy and understanding to a gun fight

Yeah... after the president mocking us to our faces and the huge crowd cheering, I think we’ll figure out a way to get out, means or not

Was getting off the bourgeoisie ship this morning and saw the times, headline kavanaugh to be confirmed. Spent the first day in Hawaii intermittently sobbing, and nobody seems that surprised here

Someone recently said this on Twitter perfectly.

I don’t want you to be my ****ing allies. I want you to be TRAITORS.

DO MORE. You have FAILED us. Shame on all of you. Shame. SHAME.

I don’t have a good answer to that, and I’m sorry for that too, and I know it’s not enough.

Fwiw, I feel this every day. Like I have personally failed the women in my life despite having little control over what is happening in Washington. As a whole, we as men have 100% failed women.

I'm disgusted and distraught. And I'm sorry we haven't done better.

First, I feel bad that this has hit you hard, Crossnerd..

Master3004, that is noble of you but it is probably 80% of the men who are failing women, and 30% of the women who are failing women.

Yes, men have a huge role to play, but it is incredible how many women just outright didn't believe Dr. Ford, and how many women unconditionally support Trump. To see Trump publicly mocking Dr. Ford was disgusting. To see women in the background clapping, well that was really disturbing.

So, perhaps the saddest part is that women in the US cant really mobilize as a group for a quick and overwhelming change, because some of the women just are not on your side Crossnerd.

And that may be even a scarier thought than how bad the men are...

Tell me about it

But attacking the conservative women for being “conservative” has proved to be an unpopular talking point, if mainly bc certain men use it against us as a point of good faith dissent
10-06-2018 , 11:25 PM
It’s fine though, let the hausfraus have their ****ing washing machines. Gender traitor ****s, every one of them.
