89. Answer for you

25 years ago I was drowning in an abusive marriage and now I'm not so no, I'm not the same person I was 25 years ago.

As a woman I don't have the luxury of making crude disgusting comments then given a shrug and forgiveness from middle aged frat boys who laugh it all off as, "Boys will be boys!" and have an excuse for absolutely everything when my white male entitled ass wants a Senate seat.

You demand my "choice?" Misogynistic "Machiavellian" fucks like rape apologists are actively stealing my choices. I'm sick of being threatened for MY OPINION.

Throw him a kegger in a Portland strip club when he wins the nomination . Bros before hos! Yeah!
