    One silver lining of this dogshit election, no matter how it went: it was always bound to make a group of people I hate extremely mad and sad

      It's actually made both sides really mad, for us this result is hilarious. Maybe this isn't the worst timeline, just the most ridiculous.

        No it is the worst timeline.

        But dialectical materialism let's us in on the joke that is the United States.

        No we needed dems to take the Senate, or we needed Trump to win. This is the worst outcome even if it's also the funniest in the short term.

        They're going to cut social security now instead of like raising the min wage and shit, or like giving us more time to organize for 2024.

          Counterpoint: now we can blame both wings of the capitalist party for the inevitable material suffering that is to follow. What's coming is a systemic crisis in the neoliberal world order, and it's up to us to connect the dots for working class people and educate them.

                Because low propensity voters and people not really engaged with politics will only hear the occasional line about how McConnell blocked Biden from doing "all these good things he truly wanted to do".

                On the other hand, republican media will be railing against both McConnell and Biden, so conservative voters will vote in even more insane people.

                Full party rule of dems gave more opportunity to agitate against them bc there was no one to blaim on failures but themselves.
