It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

black pill for people here but Biden is going to win this election and it's not even going to be close

-pretty much every poll has him beating Trump by some margin, and coronovirus + impending oil crisis + impending bear market recession pretty much negates a lot of the benefits of being an incumbent

-there is no visceral dislike of Biden that will compel people to vote for Trump (at least nowhere near the same galaxy that there was for the Clinton family). in addition Trump has managed to piss off people who were previously indifferent to politics

-Biden is destroying, absolutely destroying Bernie's margins in the last 10-15 states, and he clearly has massive appeal from Dems across the entire country

-Biden gaffes and talks funny, but so does Trump. in the end people who hate Trump will hate how he performs, and people who hate Biden will hate how he performs. Debates aren't really going to change much from here unless Biden really fucks up

-his dementia has been overplayed for the most part. the media likes to play soundclips over but the truth is that Biden is not that far gone- the debates are gonna probably be behind closed doors which will help him a lot. he wll probably will do better than Hillary in the debates too- he doesn't have as obnoxious of a vocal tone and he talks in a way avg americans can appeal to

-most of his supporters will vote for Biden if the alternative is Trump. the ones who dont are mostly trans cuties living in congested cities that already swing blue with decreased voting power, their votes mean squat

-pretty much everything i've just said is supported by the 2018 midterms, which indicate that dems like Biden running on a moderate platform has a good shot of unseating Trump and the republicans

another black pill, for progressives here your movement is pretty much dead. Bernie is not going to run again and will probably die before Joe's next term. there is nobody else in america who can lead a progressive movement in 2024 as well as he can. AOC will probably be getting primaried, and the rest of the justice dems are unlikable as gently caress. short of DeBlasio having a permanent flashback to the 80s and running in 2024, there is no way that the US will ever reach this peak level of leftism for a long time.

i need a sanity check

trump is bad but only insofar as a republican president is bad, yes? my perception of trump is that he's no worse than other rich rear end in a top hat conservatives and liberals, except trump is too incompetent to actually disguise his grift, so people get a lot more outraged at his existence.

or have I stared at succ for so long that i'm underplaying how bad a populist racist president is?

i'm trying to rationalize people supporting biden to beat trump and i'm crack pinging over here

Yeah I’ve come to this same conclusion recently. Trump’s really no worse than like 90% of congress; he’s just too lazy/dumb to attempt to disguise his contempt for the poor & minorities.

W killed more Muslims in one month than Trump has in three years.

I get it, he says mean poo poo, he's an rear end in a top hat, an idiot, and he riles up the worst kind of people... but a bit of perspective is needed.

I feel like I've gone back in time, and I hate it. 2016 is back. We are trapped in this 4-year stretch of time and we will die in it. It will always be 2016, those in power will keep repeating the same mistakes, and good people will continue to die for the same stupid reasons, over and over until finally the planet follows us.

I still hope, but now it is a black, smoldering hope. A hope that is fringed in ash and salt, fed by spite and anger.

It's obvious now that no one is coming to save us, and I want to give up, but giving up will only consign us to this awful future. Hold onto hope in whatever shape you can find it in and fight however you can, even if it's just for yourself and the ones you love.

Don't give up.
