For those who opposed Hillary Clinton had we worked together towards her election and had we succeeded, together:
The Supreme Court would have a 6 to 3 liberal majority.
Let the ramifications of that one sink in.

I have been involved in the choice movement since the 80s. In 2000 I remember having to convince women who were strongly choice to vote for Al Gore and not friggin Ross Perot. My argument

I STILL have a hard time letting go of what might have been and those on the left side of center who had a part in causing her loss.

(17,379 posts)If Republicans were able to maintain control of the Senate through her term, a not unlikely scenario, we might have had a 4-4 Court until late in the year when Ginsberg passed. Kennedy almost certainly wouldnt have retired with Clinton as president, especially in a first term.

(42,862 posts)... oh, that's right... never mind... SHE DOESN'T FUCKING CARE!!
FUCK Susan Sarandon. Fuck Michael Moore. Fuck Jill Stein. Fuck Nina Turner. Fuck Cornel West. Fuck everyone who worked to kneecap Hillary Clinton and who couldn't be bothered to support her until it was too late... or could only struggle to muster-up an half-hearted effort.
This is on them. All of it.
Never forget.
Never forgive.
PS: Fuck you, Susan Sarandon!
