    But lib “progressives” like Sam Seder or anyone on TYT were going to vote blue. The groups of leftist minorities didn’t bend the knee for the most part. It’s why you saw an increase of African American and Latino support for Trump. What most of us saw here is how that “victory” was very pyrrhic in that the Democrats have cut the legs off it’s growing voter block. They did win and you’re right but it wasn’t a very long lasting win as we are seeing Biden underwater now. It’s not a win as we are not even seeing Kamala doing anything really after that disastrous Asian tour where she was brought back hella early. It’s to the point where Mayo Pete is being astroturfed back into the public eye with his upcoming documentary. Along with Obama coming back from retirement since he created this fucking mess to begin with. So yeah they won alright but we have been saying this was going to happen even back when we were on :reddit-logo:. If you could see my comments from there, then you’d see I also made this exact same comment from someone saying the exact thing. All we can do is prepare for whoever takes Trump’s place.

          I mean the neoliberal victory is total in the sense that there is no public avenue of marxism and even our most left wing politicians arent allowed to admit that a Cuban literacy program is good. Theres no actual argument in government about what to do and this bill was always going to get gutted like this because that was always the plan, we used to have small adjustments to the plan but now they wont even do that.

        I'm not sure of the whole story, but I have seen a bunch of libs mad in the last couple days that Trump investigations have been shot down by Merrick Garland or something. Idk if they can really lean on that. Maybe they can but I'm not sure

      that disastrous Asian tour where she was brought back hella early.

      Haven't heard about this tbh, is there an article or pod that recaps it?
