  • It’ll swing back the other way, and once everything is stripped away we’ll be positioned to have a major change. That’s all I can hope for.

    Unless elections are suspended, there’s absolutely no way such major changes where EVERYONE but the richest of the rich lose where the conservatives will stay in power. If they actually screw the idiots and take things away that are obvious then they will be so upset they won’t vote R quite so eagerly.

    Imo the two worst things that the DNC has done was shutting out Bernie in place of Hillary, and then running fucking biden against dumpy. If they had put Bernie in 2016 then Trump would have lost hard. If they had offered up fresh blood with new ideas instead of an octogenarian clinging to the billionaire establishment with moderate conservative policy then they likely would have won this time.

    Biden came in pretending to be not trump, but his stance on immigration, tariffs and many other topics are so disgusting it’s hard to see him (or his replacement) as anything other than a vote for the status quo… and the status quo right now is miserable.




  • Until there is a total of 60 votes one way or another, both sides can effectively veto bills forever with a filibuster in the senate. Still, in the absence of said filibuster it’s nice to be able to pass legislation through the senate.

    Good to see the needle moving from the insanity that has been the last ~9 years of politics but there is so much foundational damage that simply won’t build any bridges to bring the country back to it’s center. Maybe if we’re lucky it will lessen the extremist rhetoric especially after trump is out of the running… but i’m not holding my breath.
