YMB posted:I don't understand the motivation behind people coming into this thread to let everyone know that nothing is actually going to get better. Even if it's true (which I'll certainly entertain as a possibility), what are they trying to accomplish by making us think about that RIGHT NOW? Yes, we still have to push for progressive policy at the local level and do everything we can to get out the vote for 2022, but it's not like people in this thread are running outside and telling everyone they know to stop trying. We're just enjoying some schadenfreude at a truly reprehensible piece of poo poo getting some level of comeuppance. It doesn't have to be deeper than that right now, it's November 6th. The point is that 90% of the people celebrating this are not going to be getting out the vote in 2022 or protesting for progressive changes, they are going to be going back to brunch and pretending like everything is fine while Biden destroys the country just as quickly as Trump.

I can at least say for certain Biden won’t encourage Nazis on a daily basis and that’s a plus. Yeah, I'm seriously looking forward to being mad that not enough positive things are being done, rather than looking on in horror as the country was systematically looted and taken apart.

Sure you did, as will every other leftist will claim now that Biden won. The good thing is leftists are completely irrelevant and people who actually care about this country and want to make things better went out to vote. They didn't spend the last 4 years posting on a sub forum convincing themselves that better things aren't possible and actively cheering for things to get worse.

Well-off white people simply aren't going to care about white supremacist police murdering minorities now that they can't blame it on Trump and act like he invented white supremacy.

You know, which has been right wing /pol rear end in a top hat strategy all along - demoralize any move to the left as a waste while secretly cheering for the Republicans. Funny, that sounds a lot like you right now.

I guess I'll just become a bitter jerk who makes up a bunch of poo poo based on absolutely zero research or even general acumen for the subject. Literally everything Biden has ever done as an elected representative told me that Joe Biden is bad, I've never listened to an episode of Chapo Trap House and am only somewhat aware of what it even is. The guy literally championed a war that killed a million people, and did so on the basis of WMDs he knew at the time did not exist. stillvisions posted:The point is concern trolls seem to be working overtime to make sure this happens by trying to dampen any enthusiasm, ensuring this will happen.

Inglonias posted:you heard it here first. Covok has called the race. That means we can lock the thread, right? Not until we get an admission of error for all of the short-sighted doomposting. Anyways, yay, of course Biden won, etc. I am pondering though, with the UPSP fuckery did it costs us a senate seat or two even as it failed to swing it for Trump? Dare I ask, without the interference, would the polls have been... right?

I'm glad Biden won, but it's a largely hollow victory in the face of a rep senate and supreme court. It will nonetheless be an improvement though. There's still a lot a president can get done.
