I can't watch because I'm at work but reading this thread has me in tears. She is so much classier than I would have been.
I'm heartbroken for her. Her life's work just flushed down the toilet.
No.
Her life's work is still being carried on. It's not going to die just because she lost this election. She's not going to stop fighting for people'/s rights and there are millions of us that are going to fight alongside her.
I just watched it on my phone in my hotel lobby, and I can't stop crying. And there ar all these people here for this work conference and they all just seem like they don't care about the election. It's mind boggling.

I want her to come back and tell me more things. She made me feel slightly calmer.
Now she's done it's really real. How is this where we are?
And now she's mingling with a smile on her face. Because she is a true leader who tries to keep the morale up and everyone calm. And because she insanely insanely strong and classy.
People on facebook still criticizing her for not wearing a flag pin. What the ever loving fuck. She has made her life about serving this country, is that not enough of a pound of flesh. Jeez louise.

By THAT man.
She had to be more than perfect just to compete. And she couldn't even win. And he just had to show up, unprepared, racist, and stupid. It's devastating.

And one more thing...those pieces of crap are still talking about throwing her in jail and she can still call Trump and she can still come on and be gracious? Hell no. WDYT Trump would have done if the roles were reversed? Can't you go to jail for tax evasion? WHy aren't we pushing to get those records? I'm in hysterics.

They are saying that on Monday night Clinton signed a Newsweek magazine "Madam President" and that they'd stocked up on champagne because they all truly believed they were going to win. I can't even imagine being her and seeing those returns yesterday.
Y'all let's do what she said in her speech and keep working. We have to! Today you can throw things, drink, eat, cry, but tomorrow stand the fuck up and let's make shit happen!

Needed this response. It's easy to get swept up in defeat when I need to get pissed and fight

Okay.
So look. A lot of people went low and that sucks.
But we are going to go fucking high.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we need to do more than post on this message board about change and get the fuck out there and make it happen.
Join human rights groups. Run for local office. Donate to the ACLU or Planned Parenthood or both.
We might have lost this battle but we are NOT going to lose this fucking war.
I am grieving but I am also PISSED OFF.
Donald Trump is a misogynistic, racist piece of shit and he does not stand for me and neither do any of his supporters and I am making it my mission to make him a one-term do nothing president.
CNN was breaking down her and Bill's wearing of the color purple: The color of spirituality The color of mourning The color of bipartisanship (red + blue) The color of suffragettes

When I got up this morning, DD put on her Future President shirt and I put on my women's rights shirt. When I got home from school drop-off, I registered to volunteer at Planned Parenthood and made a donation in honor of Hillary.
The fight isn't over. Get up, get angry, continue her work.

I can't imagine how Obama feels right now. He worked so hard for the past 8 years to achieve all these things, and he knows that in 6 weeks they will all be erased. But he has to get up there and keep his composure and talk about Trump like his victory isn't the most absurd, heartbreaking, obscene thing.

Maybe everyone can wear purple on inauguration day.
