This is a way better conversation than I was anticipating and let's take a minute to agree on the fact that shits fucked, we'd like it unfucked, and at least short term there's only one way to make that happen.

The view for most of libertarians I get along with would be that no, conservatives didn't blow THEIR face off... They blew OUR face off, like all of us.

Long term, there's a ton to disagree on, but dems are going to need to take friends where they can get them. There are a ton of situations that further both interests that are low hanging fruits, but it's important to acknowledge that, because the party has a lot to answer for.

Again, I cannot wait for the day we're haggling about details. But the dems have entirely lost relevance, save the fact that, somehow, they're our only hope against literal fascism. And Im just going to say it again because election interference is a thing: Joe Biden needs to win this election. But AOC is going to need to make some friends that will feel odd to the party.
