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

    Biden + Republican Senate = hypercharged imperialism plus economic violence against the American people in the name of pragmatism... not even to mention the kind of national security laws they're going to pass to target the left and anyone with an anti-imperialist thought in their head. Those outside the US lose, those inside lose.

    I remain convinced the best case would have been Trump winning another term but Dems taking the Senate for maximum infighting, division, and internal strife.

      Those outside the US lose, those inside lose. Yes but on the bright side, we both lose half as bad as their energy is split between us, so there's that.
