Mildly? I'm radicalized as fuck. This is the most infuriating shit. Fucken useless ass democrats are only good at constructing elaborate and expensive footguns. They couldn't read the fucken room and hear people screaming for any change at all.

    I've changed man, since then. I don't know how I feel about the Democrats, but I'm devastated over who voted Republican. So many people in this country voted for him. It wasn't just we had low turnout, but also just that he had so much. That's the disheartening thing for me, that still, with everything we know, he still carries 50% of this country easily. So yeah, we had too few, but worse, he has too many.

    Right? I found pre-election solace in knowing that even though his cult will never turn on him, he couldn't have possibly gotten MORE supporters in the past 4 years.

    Turns out they LOVE the hate and they want more of it.

    Sorry, Mindless Americans, it's not Trump's fault anymore, it's YOURS.

    That's what I've come around to. It's not him. He's a figurehead that we apply blame but it's not. It's the people - the public. They want this. They have the fear and the hate, they actively want it. If America didn't want him, they wouldn't have voted him in. Even with tampering/whatever, if America didn't, he wouldn't be there. But America does want him, and that's a very sobering and sad thought to me. I try to live with a simple code - do what you want, as long as it doesn't hurt others. I learned yesterday that most American's don't have similar values.

    IMO that's way off base. People want change. They know they're getting screwed, and the grifter is promising change. He's lying and I think most people know that, but the fact that they'd take a convicted felon over what the DNC offered up is a crushing repudiation.

    Bernie would've mopped the floor with Trump, because he also offers change. Someone like Obama would've too, even though there was a paucity of actual change during his terms.

    We need to drag the DNC kicking and screaming off of the corporate dick it's sucking, and get it left enough to offer real change, and people will vote for it in droves.

    And this is exactly what's wrong with the Democrats, and why Biden never should've run. They're too comfortable in their big houses with all their money and privilege. They have no fucking idea what it's like for most Americans, and clearly they don't care because they've never had to. There is no party in the US to fight for regular people, so they didn't vote.

    "I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together we've changed America for the better. Now we have 74 days to finish the term, our term. Let's make every day count."

    Well I mean, what would you say in that position? It's hardly going to help any to come out and announce that everything is fucked and you'd probably also be pretty disinclined to say nothing of note was achieved in your own administration or that there isn't really enough time to do much of anything in the remaining period.

    The beginning and end of Leadership is accountability. The Dems refuse to accept their part in this loss.

    The President and Vice President have zero outward indications that this is personally painful to them, at all. If anything, they seem relieved to be passing the potato. If they are so out of touch, or so insulated from the pernicious outcomes of their doleful stewardship of this country, then WHY should voters place their trust in that party again, considering it's been helmed and staffed by the same obstinate members for decades?

    I don't see Leadership, I see a kind of craven capitulation, at a time when America most needs its leaders to have fire in their bellies, and compassion in their eyes.

    We aren't going to be okay. Stop saying it's going to be okay. Project 25 is not okay, turning Gaza into a crater is not okay, banning abortion is not okay, cutting Medicare is not okay. None of this shit is okay. Stop trying to sit and act like being cordial is going to make the right go, "Well, they're being so nice about it." We fucked up, and we need to face the consequences.

    3 days ago, it was going to be the last election, the ultimate election, the end times, the end of democracy. Now we'll be fine?

    Pre-election Dems and post-election Dems cannot both be right. One of the two is lying.

    What a fucking tool.

    Good job, Biden. You care so much about your legacy? Guess what: your legacy is now “one of the hubristic egotistical dipshits that made so many unforced errors that you basically opened the fucking door for the fascists to take over”. You’ll be remembered alongside the likes of Neville Chamberlain and Paul von Hindenburg. You absolute fucking chode. You lost the fucking republic.

    "Something I hope we can do no matter who you voted for is see each other not as adversaries but as fellow Americans, Bring down the temperature."

    No. Human rights aren't a disagreement. We can disagree on whether or not we enjoyed a movie or on what pizza toppings we prefer. But if the disagreement is that you want to kill me or people I care about, you are, by definition, my adversary.

    Says the neoliberal shitbag who appointed a conservative traitor to NOT prosecute Trump. The same shitbag who should NOT have run in the first fucking place. And now the DNC is going to tack even further right.

    Historically, fascism is only defeated through violence, but in this case, that violence needs to happen inside our own house. The DNC needs to purge itself of neoliberals and conservatives just in case there's another shot at salvaging democracy. DNC neoliberals are the deadly threat closest to us.
