The Republican party also contains fascists who are also upset by their loss. White supremacists see this as a setback. It's nice to laugh at their bitter sadness.

Richard Spencer isn't the only white supremacist or fascist who exists. As far as I can tell he is pretty fringe compared to someone like Stephen Miller.

I'm not really sure what's so controversial about taking some joy at upset conservatives, a ton of whom are fascists and white supremacists. It doesn't really matter who actually won the presidency.

It's not 9d chess to vote for quiet white supremacist over loud white supremacist. Though Joe is not especially quiet, due to his long history of being a segregationist.

i think richard spencer would prefer the racist who would feasibly hire him into his administration. it is not an endorsement of biden to acknowledge that its obvious that spencer would prefer trump, and is lying to get attention

saying that there is a difference between these approaches to racist poo poo isnt saying one is good actually. jesus christ relax

As a minority I'd like to say that the problem is Biden is absolutely going to get away with bad things that are now no longer going to be considered as bad, because he will make the proper rationalizations for it.

Frankly it's just a little insulting that you're making this kind of generalization when it's minority and LGBT communities who are more capable of recognizing that this isn't a win for us because the guy who loves bombing brown people and the woman who threw trans women into men's jails do not give a gently caress about us.

no it's fine, minorities and queers are just cudgels to make a point online, we're great to use as ethos. doesn't that make you just feel so great?

white supremacists will be fine no matter who is president. or have you all forgotten the past 40 loving years of domestic terrorism in the united states that has accelerated underneath blue police departments? Acting like a democratic war criminal is a dunk on white supremacy is the real 2head gullible poo poo.

its good that trump isnt president anymore. i didnt vote for biden but its still good. still have a lot of organizing ahead but have had plenty of sign ups and people interested. many people will have illusions in biden to start off, but if you are patient and keep organizing and fighting you will also find that many of those people will have those illusions disabused. you wont do that though if you just poo poo all over them for being glad that trump is gone. be happy with them and then point towards what more needs to be done.

to be slightly optimistic, I don't sense the same kind of jubilation you got with obama in 2007. I don't know if the democratic party is ever going to be a real vehicle for change but i think people are digging in for another fight to not die penniless from the plague. I don't know what that means in the long run, the easiest answer is "nothing" but who the hell knows anymore.

Biden doesn't have the charisma needed to paper over the rot like Obama did, even if his brain wasn't Swiss cheese. That is to our advantage. For that matter, Harris isn't exactly an inspiring public speaker either

yeah obamamania protected him from any liberal introspection to this very day, biden will have to find other tools. which i suspect will primarily be pointing to Trump and going "if you criticize us he comes back"
