One of the most important qualities of a president is the ability to inspire, to bring people together for the common good.

Our democracy should aspire to be more democratic.

Ethics and oversight are what you eliminate when you want absolute power.

Today's 'religious freedom' policies should not be seen as a problem limited to LGBT people but as a co-optation of religion that affects us all.

We must acknowledge and take responsibility for the conflicts we have helped to create, and act to create real change. That, after all, is the true hallmark of democracy--a commitment to justice, honest self-appraisal, and action--even when it means challenging ourselves and the political institutions we hold most dear.

We elected a man who knows how to build walls when we needed someone who knows how to build bridges.

Accepting fraud from our leaders means accepting fraud in our personal lives.

Fascism thrives in obscurity and darkness.

Truth is hard, propaganda is cheap.

When you're dealing with frauds and liars, listen more to what they don't say than what they do.

If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.

Those who incite violence have no business lecturing others about unity.

Libertarianism is supposed to be all about principles, but what it's really about is political expedience. It's basically a corporate front, masked as philosophy.

Not only is the actual word "hysteria" gendered _ it once referred to an exclusively female disease, a mental illness thought to be caused by a malfunctioning uterus _ there is a very long history of critics using accusations or innuendo about women's mental health or emotional stability in order to shut down their political voices.

Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud.

A president who has incited violence inspires citizens towards hate and violence.

Violence isn't a Democrat or Republican problem. It's an American problem, requiring an American solution.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.
