It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I’m not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

      You speak truth.

      I guess Biden was just a miracle for the dems or he just had way more time to campaign.

        No, not a miracle, people on the left explicitly warned everyone 4 years ago biden would have their support for one term. To the point he even committed to it before immediately walking it back post election. Biden is a proxy for his policies not the person specifically. Swapping out w/ harris and no change in positions wasnt acceptable either.

        The dems have been underestimating the left wing population for decades despite repeatedly hitting the hornets nest and losing.

          Hmm don’t remember people saying that so I’ll defer to you there. I do recall Biden saying he was a 1 time candidate but I thought it was because he was Old.

            Hopefully you’ll remember this election. The dynamics were very similar.

            People like myself were pissed and had to deal with peoples lesser evil nonsense. When biden won the primary due to warren/bernie split ticket. We were very explicit about it (all during the tail end of the primary) which is what led biden to that statement.

            Biden was forced out due to two factors: No left wing support (dont break strikes, commit genocide’s joe). And no corporate support. (Because of the wonder kid khan)

            Harris then tried to cater to the corporate douches and genocide joes. You all found out as a result what we’ve been telling you you.
