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

    Like, I have vague memories of Biden as VP arguing FOR damaging Social Security and Medicare but the Repubs reflexively rejected it because it would have been a WIN for Obama.

    He did, and they did. As the article notes, they took his methodology and applied it to various other benefit programs though.

    Thanks Mr. Most Progressive Candidate ever!
