(30,733 posts)I was thinking about Kate McKinnon tonight, singing that song. I can't listen. It makes me cry.

(199 posts)I still had hope after the Bush administration. I thought, "That was as bad as it can get. People are finally going to see Republicans for what they are."
Hah!
There are a lot of despicable assholes in the world. And the more despicable they are, the more passionate they are about voting.
So, no... I'm not fighting any more. If things get too bad here, I'll move to another country. Fuck it.

(83,746 posts)Ben, things are bad here. Very bad, treasonous. Guess you are going and not staying to stand fight for our rights. Me I am going to fight...it is my country.

|I'm not giving up. I went to my first local demonstration with PP this week and I plan to do another one on Monday. This song pics me up when I feel discouraged. My links not showing but just check out Never Give Up by Sia at YouTube.

(66,316 posts)I'm not kidding. My heart cracked. Leonard Cohen and the squalid ascension of You-Know-Who to the White House.
And Hillary Clinton's mournful SNL surrogate giving us a reason to hope. A reason to go on...
I'm not giving up, either...

Kate. Hillary. Yes my heart breaks as well. We will never give up. It is not our style. Hill is with us, Obama as well...Holder and more.

(66,316 posts)If he was a smarter man, he'd wish that we had never been born.
He'll wish he had stayed in New York, racking up the bankruptcies, re-marrying every five years or so, and depleting the world's reserves of gold leaf. Bad enough when a man rises to his level of incompetence, but when he rises above his level of incompetence, bad things happen...

(4,858 posts)...but we must act *as if* we can redeem the country, make it a place worthy of a civilized people, and leave it in better condition for our children than we found it. Despair is never an option...even though I've come damned close at times. Thanks for this thread, which heartens me.

(199 posts)We can fight till the cows come home, but that's not going to change anything. Republicans control the government, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

(58,785 posts)let it be that human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all." -- Hillary Clinton.
Whether Hill runs for office again or not, she will always be a world-class leader for human rights.
Just looking at that "Hallelujah" picture makes me feel weepy, so I'm not opening it, but I loved seeing it. Thanks, Sheshe.
