What does it say about our society that a know-nothing bullshit artist, first time . . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . out of the gate, gets the nomination of a major political party, while a woman who is arguably the MOST QUALIFIED human EVER to aspire to the presidency has to work harder than anyone for twenty, thirty, forty years to get a similar opportunity?

This has to end and it has to end this year.

And WE can do it.

1. It says Faux News is a mental pollutant

and some Republicans will vote for any nincompoop that has an R after their name.

[oswaldactedalone]

3. Yes it does

I HATE any and everything the Thug Party and the reich wing media stands for.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. I think it says that people, all kinds of people, with different visions

have hoped and waited for many years for their vision to be realized.

On the right - "Get rid of these fucking immigrants and bring me a good job and if you can, get rid of anyone who is different than me"

On the left - "Let's reset to zero. How do we want to live? How can we save the planet? How can we help the middle class and the poor? WTF, why can't ALL people go to see a doctor whenever they want?"

[bigwillq]

4. That some folks want something different than the status quo

And that they think Donald Trump can do just that.

[leftstreet]

5. That no credible GOPer wanted to wa$te a lo$$ to her

That seems like a no-brainer to me

[Skittles]

6. women have to be twice as good to be considered half as good

it has ALWAYS been that way

[Stinky The Clown]

7. And *T*H*A*T* is what we have to end!

[meow2u3]

8. A.M.E.N!!

It burns me up to no end these double standards requiring women to be plaster saints while men can get away with crimes ranging from dirty tricks to outright treason!

[smirkymonkey]

12. +1000

This!

[Initech]

9. It says "our education system is very badly broken and needs to be fixed immediately,"

[Warren DeMontague]

10. It says the Republican party is finally choking itself on the bilous crap they've been spreading

for the past several decades.

They know- the party establishment- that they have a big ol' problem, and it may have serious long-term consequences for them nationally.

[Bucky]

11. One of our political parties is addicted to panic mongering

There's two competing threads in American history. There's the red scare, McCarthyite, nativist, conformist tendency and then there's the boatrocking, civil rights, inclusivist, abolitionist, reformer tendency.

They are frequently at odds w/each other. Usually the reformist side wins, but it always takes a while

[Hekate]

13. I think this election is a litmus test of our national character

[CanSocDem]

14. It says...

...'we don't think it matters'.
