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

    You should have come to the conclusion that top down politics will never work after Sanders lost. It will never happen. Only a bottom up party takeover, or an entirely new militant labor organization shutting down the economy will achieve anything (or outright military coup but that's not possible).

    This result is what the libs want. They can say 'Look Centrism won leftists are wrong' and then blame Republicans for no progress. Or blame austerity on Republicans. Biden is going to be Jimmy Carter all over again.
