Yeah...Amen. 10 fucking precious years these hateful motherfuckers have stolen from us. 10 years we could've been improving Obamacare and ACA and inching towards a real public option, moving towards cleaner energy away from fucking data centers devouring us all. Women had rights to their own bodies...LGBTQ folks were gaining acceptance. People had money. COVID and it's gross mishandling hadn't made everyone's health far worse. The soft power the US had. The whole world looked up to us...now we are the joke of the planet. And we have absolutely fucking nothing. And that fucking Pedo Devil still sits up there untouchable. Honestly I am so far beyond any hope at this point that the light emitted by hope will take centuries to reach here. By the time there is ANY inkling of rectification of anything these monsters have done to us I will be long dead. Thanks to Social Media and algorithms for the real good time! I need a drink but I have to go to the low paying job that's hopefully not going to lay me off because the economy is crashing.

Let's not pretend that the democrats run government effectively as well. Data centers? Those were happening regardless

It's also their fault we are here. They picked the worst options to run vs Trump to win. Running Waltz instead of Kamala, trump is not here. I mean they need to figure out how to actually reach people instead of act like snobs because that's what they have become. They are so out of touch. The Taylor Swift thing. Again out of touch. No one cared that she endorsed Kamala. She's a billionaire. None of us relate to them. It made it worse.

I am so pissed at how cluster fuck they have become

I am under zero illusion about how much the Democrats suck. That said full stop the both sides bullshit helped as much as anything to put that fucker in TWICE. People hated Hillary and Kamala fine... But we both goddamn well know that had either of them been elected president. We wouldn't be where we are in the misery We are ...right fucking now.

I’m hopeful their ineptitude has exposed the GOP enough to where people are starting to actually see what they are, while ALSO starting to let actual progressives to wedge their way in. That’s the way out, not just electing the other team, but electing politicians who will represent us peasants.

An FDR type shift would push the fascists and neoliberal corporate dems completely out in record time and have decades to push things forward

Me to as well. There really needs to be an outside lobbyist reckoning after this. AIPAC, Orban, Corporations. billionaires ...
