      She shouldn't have helped trump in the primaries. Just a thought tho. I'm not an expert on running unsuccessful presidential campaigns.

      hillary-contempt The fact that she's not openly regarded as a failure by the libs says that they will just never learn from her loss. They're perpetually stuck in disbelief, even after 8 years, thinking she did everything right.

        I remember thinking she outcompeted Trump in a debate in 2016 and was shocked in election night. I took that opportunity to ask myself "why do people like Trump? What's wrong with Hilary" and the conclusion was "actually I'm a communist now"

    Tired: The end of history already happened.

    Wired: A particular day in 2016 entirely changed the flow of history like a mass extinction event.

      No, it's the disenfranchised and ignored voters who failed. They didn't attempt to kick Lucy's football in high enough numbers.

    Reminder that Merrick Garland was considered a centrist concession to Republicans at the time, yet another example of how even in their wildest fantasies liberals are still pathologically ineffectual weenies

    In another timeline, Harry Potter was never created. Wizards are still for dorks. JK Rowling dies in a dumpster. George R. R. Martin takes less than 15 years to release a book.

    There is no Dumbledore. There is no Voldemort. There is no Deathly Hallows.

    These are the consequences of ONE book series.

      sicko-yes

      George R. R. Martin takes less than 15 years to release a book.

      sicko-no How ever will we know what feasts and murderfucking sprees were missed between the smirking quippy nobles that are part of a bad system that is still the best possible system because changing it is worse?

    In another timeline, Bernie Sanders wins. He packs the supreme court.

    Roe V. Wade is maintained. Affirmative action is maintained. LGBTQ employment discrimination laws are maintained.

    These are the consequences of ONE election.

    In another timeline, capitalism is abolished, climate change is stopped, nobody staves or lives without a home, Palestine it's free, nobody is robbed of their surplus labour, melon-musk gets the wall, trans people can freely tranition, people's (mental) health doesn't get destroyed by capitalism, and Lennin is revived by Juche necromancy.

    These are the consequences of ONE revolution.
