I know this is a joke, but god that was such a fun time to be part of the Chapo sub. You had the baby leftists like yours truly thinking Bernie was gonna win in a landslide. The DSAheads on a never-ending recruitment drive. The MLs screaming about how electoralism is a fuck, and Bernie can't win, and if he does he can't do anything (turns out they were right, who woulda thought?). Following the drama of the Iowa caucaus minute-by-minute. Simp Steyer, bloodbag Bloomberg, Stapler Amy. Our President Kamala Harris, who everyone forgot. whywhywhywhywhy. Big structural Bailey, and everybody's favorite ratboy and father disappointer Mayor Pete. And Bernie's ultimate defeat on Super Tuesday was so disorienting for me, and I realized I'd been placing faith in a faithless system, and maybe those cranky MLs had known something I didn't.

Was all that just barely a year ago? Feels like a lifetime.
