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 goal/hope/case for leftists voting Biden was to protest Biden and the Dems on day 1 and grassroots pressure to stop a repeat of Obama’s first 2 years

    fuck Chomsky and anyone who listened to him tbh

      Leave him alone he's 90 something.

      The people who listened to him need their brains checked.

      Yeah, it's a naive idea to believe. Especially when you consider that Obama and the Dems brushed aside a number of grassroots movements (Occupy, BLM, Dakota Access Pipeline).

        I disagree, it would have been hard, but we would know Biden was a Republican from the start unlike being fooled with fake progressive Obama and Bernie would have been a major force of leadership for the left to organize a real resistance Obama never had
