Yeah, at least their current accounts are not around is what I am saying.
People weren't as onboard with AES, for sure.
However, I remember most people here being extremely jaded with Democratic politics post-Bernie, especially when it came to Warren and her ilk.
As for voting for Biden, I agree, the consensus at the time was that he was obviously better than Trump domestically, and the general argument (as it always is with the Democrats) was if his domestic policies are better, we should vote for him, which appealed to some people at the time, but now, with hindsight, clearly showed to matter little. I didn't go for the argument at the time, and I remember the long fights on the forum about that shit.
Anyways, it could be anecdotal horseshit, but I still have my old account, so haha, I win. (Kidding, obviously)
That said, I still stand by the fact that the forum is hardly tearing itself apart over this.
I remember people being jaded post-bernie too, but while jaded I still remember people arguing for Biden as a "harm reduction candidate".
It wasn't something that was tearing the forums apart, I dont think I said that. I at least didnt mean to. I also dont think it is now. I was just reminiscing. Doubt anything will ever be as bad for the forum as TC69 handling the vegancirclejerk thing or the handling of the_dunk_tank. I still miss PM_me_your_foucaults
I lost my first account when "delete account" went from "delete everything youve posted" to an actual deletion. Rip legaliizeit, gone too soon.
That comment was more in reference to what you were replying to than anything specific that you said, my bad.
Lol I don't even remember when they made that switch, but that suuuucks.
Also I must have missed the serious Marianne Williamson (I think that is her name, if so I can't believe I dredged up that one from the depths of memory) discussion, because I always thought it was just a meme from the Chapo podcast, I didn't think anyone actually took her seriously.
It started as a meme, but I remember there were at least a few that started being serious about her. 2020 was a wasteland
