Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Driving to work this morning, I had NPR on and heard Obama speaking at a rally. Hearing him talk with some goddamn conviction made me feel it. A feeling that I hadn’t felt in so long.

Hope.

And all day reading the thread, the polls... it feels different this time. Against my better judgement from yesterday, I’ve embraced the hope and what’s weirder is that I’m not the only one. Where I’d usually get into it with Communists, Socialists, Liberals and Democrats in dickwaving purity fights, it’s been replaced by this... I don’t know, cease fire for the circular firing squad.

I’ve never seen the people I know IRL on the left more unified.

And

that

feels

good.

No more moping. Let’s get this poo poo done.

The sad thing is I don't think anything other than total victory is going to make these people feel like they've lost anything. On top of that how many of them even understand what congress does and why midterms matter? To them they have a president triggering the libs and that's all they need to feel vindicated.

Around this time in 2016, I was at a Clinton rally. We waited in line for about 2 hours and were the last people who made it through the doors, then it took another hour and a half for things to get started. I was with a friend, her daughter, and another teenager. Those girls had just turned 18 and they were so excited by the thought that their first vote might be for the first female president. That crowd kept their energy up through the whole wait. Everyone was singing along with the music or breaking out into chants or just starting excited conversations with whoever was nearby. They had volunteers around the entire time making sure folks knew their polling places, where to call or text for any election-day issues, and they were even still taking sign-ups for last-minute canvassing shifts. State candidates came out to talk to us, Lady Gaga played a few songs, and then Hillary did her speech. Between the late start of the rally and the traffic getting out of there, I didn't make it home until almost 2 am.

The next day I did some phone banking and went over to that same friend's house to watch the returns. She'd been planning a big party, but she called it off because she'd picked up a bit of a cold. We still had all the party stuff she'd put together though, cupcakes and streamers and a big map to color in on the wall. Watching her daughter slowly deflate over the course of the evening was the hardest part. She kept asking us about all these scenarios that might turn things around. I went home and drank whiskey straight from the bottle and purged my Facebook account of CHUDs and also all those dudes (and the ones I knew personally were all dudes) who started pushing Jill Stein after Bernie dropped out.

My friend's daughter is now a 20-year-old who volunteered for Dem candidates near her out-of-state school but kept her voter registration active here because we're more of a battleground. She texted her mom a photo of her dropping off her absentee ballot a couple of weeks back.

it's kinda minor in the grand scheme of things, but one thing that really bummed me out about the election was all of the footage of all of the older women who were voting for a woman for president who were born when women literally didn't have the vote, and how much it meant that they were voting for the first woman president

and then a walking sentient representation of American misogyny got elected president

At bar trivia today enough teams had variations of "GO VOTE" as their team names that the trivia guy specifically called it out and told everyone to hit the polls tomorrow.

That's from Columbia, Missouri, a liberal bastion surrounded by some of the worst chuds. But it was fun to hear.

I can't vote, but I live here, so please don't do me dirty you bunch of Commonwealth traitors.

e: My application for a visa was denied due to a paperwork mistake on Monday, November 7, 2016. I spent Tuesday getting it fixed. I re-applied and was accepted at 5AM on Wednesday, November 9th, 2016, and immediately flew to Missouri.

their fries on the other hand are objectively the worst fries available anywhere. a bag of oreida baked in the oven is better than in n out fries. the only way they're even remotely salvagable is getting them animal style and eating the whole thing within about 3 minutes of them coming out of the fryer. longer than 3 minutes and they're cold dogshit

also chic-fil-a is garbage too and i hated them before i knew they were super right wing
