But it would be exactly like Biden’s four years. Nothing gets fixed, lots of horrible shit still happens, and four years later we’re still choosing between a douche and a turd sandwich.
If Kamala would have won, she’d have named the DNC chair, and she’d have named another neoliberal with no interest in giving voters what they want.
It obviously would have been better if elderly neoliberals had just stepped aside for any subsequent generation, but you know that never was going to happen.
So long term, Kamala losing might be for the best because it gave us the chance to fix the party. Just like long term it probably would have been best for Biden to have lost and trump to have been prez back to back instead of kicking the can down the road which only normalized it
You can’t be simultaneously mad at Trump for reversing Biden’s work and claim that Biden fixed nothing. Biden wasn’t perfect but he was doing good things.
Anyone claiming that Biden was senile needs to look at the current incumbent.
Anyone claiming that Harris was overly emotional, needs to look at the current incumbent.
The only way out of this is to completely destroy the GOP, just like we have completely destroyed the Australian Coalition last month… Only then can things be turned around.
It does actually. The system is rigged to only allow two viable candidates. Anyone who says otherwise is either a conman or just foolish. You must pick one, or the rest of the country will pick for you, and you will get nothing.
There are rare situations when a party breaks up, allowing the other party to win, but those are increasingly uncommon, because everyone knows how it will end up.
Two elderly racists can both be simultaneously senile.
The “Biden is racist” is based on Biden’s crime bill from over 30 years ago THAT WAS DEMANDED BY THE BLACK CAUCUS. It didn’t work out as well as the Black Caucus expected, but blacks as a percentage of inmates did go down.
And this somehow made Biden as racist as Trump.
“Both sides bad” is how we got Trump. Stop repeating right wing talking points.
Like, the DNC just ran out two shitbird neoliberal superdelegatess who were on the committee in charge of primaries and kept fucking rigging them.
I see that as an absolute win.
One we had no chance of getting if Kamala had won the election. She would have picked a biased DNC chair who would have rewarded them for their biases. But Kamala lost and the voting members of the DNC were able to move the party substantially left for the first time since before Jimmy Carter.
So yeah, it’s a fucking huge win I’ve personally waited over 30 years for…
As I’ve said, long term I’m psyched for the future of America, this is literally the most optimistic I’ve ever been in fact.
Next 4 years will suck, really really bad, and worse for me personally than for the vast majority of American citizens. But it’s always darkest before the dawn. We’re all lined up for an FDR still Dem with supermanorities, an actual chance to fix shit.
Short term, sure.

There won’t be a long term.

Hot take:
Two elderly racists can both be simultaneously senile.
In fact recent events would point to large amounts of people like that in America.
That doesn’t mean we got to pick one to be president

So …
You think the only two people who could have won the election is Biden or trump?
That’s fucking crazy considering Biden dropped out due to record unpopularity…
Almost like you’re wrong…

Yeah, great attitude. You really scored a huge win there, didn’t you?
Always a silver lining…
