seeing both libs and chuds taking turns freaking out over the results has been fun, but the high can only last so long
i dont kno about u guys but i dont think we’ll be doing much laughing over politics for a long time…it didnt rly sink in for me until tonight but this is literally the worst outcome, i did not consider a scenario with Biden and a GOP senate, i dont think anyone did post covid it seemed like an assumption he would win the senate if he won in a presumed landslide
this is the worst of both worlds, all the worst most insufferable ppl are validated by Biden’s “electability” over Bernie and we have no path to push for Dems to actually do something to improve ppl’s lives
it’s like Bernie/the left lost twice from both sides and it fucking sucks
the narrative I’m seeing is damage control for Dems losing the Senate as if they were not heavily favored to win and that Biden was a uniquely good and only he could have flipped GA, AZ, etc
and blaming Bernie the left for Florida and everything else
“Andrew Yang was on the panel making decent points, considering he’s a libertarian, and rebutted that point saying specifically that these words are hard coded to dumb definitions and that democrats need to get back to talking to the working class about material issues like their labor and making sure they’re taken care of.”
Nah, they’re gonna triple down and try to stomp us into centrist scumbags. Go to war with your base, great idea, see y’all at the guillotine :)
I don’t feel confident that I even know which outcome is the worst anymore. America is walking through a political minefield and the only discussion now is about whether it’s better to beeline straight across or sort of zig zag around.
How much does it really matter how this plays out? Our lives won’t become any better in any material sense.
