Damn, voting for Biden didn't work. Can't believe electoral institutions weren't on my side. I've exhausted all posibilities so I'll just do nothing

      TBH, I think this is actually the best outcome. Trump is out of the whitehouse, which is good for obvious reasons. The dems, however, by all measures definitely still "blew the election" though, and all everyone is talking about is "What the fuck, that was waaay to close, we might've won by just dumb luck", and most importantly "What the fuck happened, what did we do wrong". This video has been going viral in the aftermath https://www.thewrap.com/watch-bernie-sanders-accurately-predict-what-just-happened-on-election-night-9-days-ago-video/ . "Bernie Told Ya So" is going to be buzzing around mainstream perspectives now, and that can let us dominate the conversation.

      I could give a shit if people misjudge the relative threats presented by Biden and Trump and the merits of voting third party. The entire problem with the “vote blue” shitlibs is that they don't believe in any action outside voting, a perspective Natalie hasn't endorsed even though every fucking person on this site just pretends she did for some reason.

      And I don't get why the tweet you literally cited isn't evidence of her true beliefs but "idk I kinda feel like she would think this" is

          If I'm going to be asked to hate someone, I'm sticking to what they did say, not what they didn't.

          Maybe if you think she's the thought leader of the entire left, then she's being irresponsible. Otherwise, this is incredibly tiresome shit that no one should ever care about.
