The people who voted for that pos, or third party, or didn't vote don't get a pass no matter what their excuse is. Not voting for the only person standing between him and the WH is voicing support for racism, bigotry, misogyny, an ultra-conservative SC, denial of voting rights to millions of citizens, legalized murder by cops of people of color, etc. and no amount of denial will remove that rank stench. They own him and I will point it out at every opportunity.

The media built him, pumped him up, foisted him on us, and did everything in their power to destroy Hillary. They are nothing more than the KKK in suits, skimpy skirts, and blow-dried hair. I'm not buying anything they are selling.

The people who voted for Hillary but now claim we must abandon "identity politics" need to do a soul searching. If they really gave a damn about people of color, immigrants, women, and LGTBs they would never allow them to be marginalized much less abandoned by the only party that works for equality, civil rights, human rights, and voting rights. I won't be getting on any bus they are driving.

I am 70, and some days I feel too old to keep fighting the same fight, but I am not going to quit, and I am going to do my damnedest to be a needle in the ass of all of the above.
