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!

Biden has promised to put Bernie and AOC on his cabinet
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.
it would be a calculated move to get two of the more left senators
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.
As a huge lefty (voted blue my whole life) I couldn't agree more! Can't wait to tune out for a bit.
Sit down. Take a breath.
Its over.
We won.
America has redeemed itself. All walks of life - men and women, straights and gays, whites and poors - in this glorious month, we all came together and defeated a common enemy. We looked fascism in the eye and collectively said "No. I refuse to accept you. I will fight until there's not a breath left in my body to defeat you." And you know what? We did. We gave it our all.
It was a long, scary road. None of us quite knew how the future would turn out. The fate of the entire world was in the balance, and we knew it wouldn't be easy. But nevertheless, we persisted. We did it for Joe, who spent his life using his privilege to rage against the machine. We did it for Kamala, who ever since she was a little girl dreamed of a better world. We did it for Obama, who laid the tracks for this victory. We did it for RGB, who gave her life in the resistance. We did it for each other, in order to see a better day. But most of all, we did it for her.
There's still a long way to go. The right side won, but the country is still divided. 70 million people decided that they would rather have a Cheeto in the white house than a functioning adult. But the country is healing. We will help that heal; and in doing so we will heal ourselves.
But for now, take a rest. Grab some coffee. Put on your favourite Harry Potter movie.
The #resistance won.
This is definitely a bit. I'm seeing liberal friends sharing the Avengers ending video with all the character faces from the political scene. Bernie, Beto, Booker, Pete are all allies with Biden. Its really cringe.
This was scary reading. Like if liberalism was a poison we can physically inject into the bloodstream and watch as it slowly makes it's way to the heart and induces cardiac arrest. Then revives the subject as a shambling undead ghoul.
Libs are having their fun but they'll be shitting their pants after the 2022 midterms when the Republicans retake the House and the stage is set for an actual competent fascist.
