I mean, Trump is gone, so now there's nothing blocking the left from taking over. Kamala is pretty progressive, and Biden has promised to put Bernie and AOC on his cabinet. That's pretty good progress despite the last four years of Trump. There's nothing wrong with taking a little time for ourselves and relaxing a bit. Maybe we can just tune out of politics and just be with our friends and family for a bit. Perhaps even grab a mid-morning meal to celebrate.
It'll all be okay, I'm sure of it. You have to be practical about these things, maybe doing a tax credit based healthcare system over the next 10 years is good enough. And voters sure did make their voices heard! Joe got record voter turnout. And strong women of color like Stacey Abrams clearly support this vital and diverse movement. It's almost like the ending of Avengers: Endgame where all the different groups show up and defeat Thanos. If Thanos was fat and orange lol.
Anyways, enough rambling. I just want to say I look forward to what we're going to accomplish over the next four years. But don't be afraid to take a little time off, you all deserve it. I'm going to log off, stop posting for a bit, and go hang out with my neighbors who are celebrating Trump being gone!
I know the post is a bit but is this part accurate in any way?
i would hope not because it would be a calculated move to get two of the more left senators out of legislative positions
Couldn't find any info on it. But I mean if Bernie and AOC felt like they would lose power by accepting the offer they could just refuse lol.
AOC is a rep, not senator
Almost certainly not. Rs look like they're still gonna control the Senate, and cabinet positions have to be confirmed by them. Not to mention the establishment made it pretty clear how much they despised Sanders and AOC.
Besides, Joe loves working with Rs anyway, so he's prolly gonna pick out some financial sector ghouls instead after stringing those two along for a while.
Half of his cabinet is already going to composed of Republicans. He's floated names like Flake, Kasich and even fucking Romney.
Yes, I think you and I had the same tweet in mind when I mentioned this (tweet in question mentioned that he was eying the Quibli CEO as well)
Best you're gonna get is folks in Warren's orbit, if we're doing seriousposting.
