From a content perspective the Biden administration is going to be amazing. Like an 8 or 9 easily. The number of 'well actually' or 'Joe is being an adult' and invocations of 'pragmatism' is going to be huge. The denial of the utterly predictable downward spiral is going to make for some really funny and infuriating posts. From an 'actual hope for the future' perspective though? Oof. -2? I think this might actually be the worst possible time line. The interminable horror and agony of knowing everything is turbo hosed but not knowing when, exactly, it all going to hit the fan is going to be rough to endure. So I guess mark me down for 'building the levees higher while doing nothing to stop the flooding just makes the inevitable breach all the worse' and call it a 1, because at least there will be a show on while we all drown.

Majorian posted:What does this mean, exactly? I would assume belief that Trump somehow steals the election. I know that its impossible to steal the election because its nowhere near close enough and we aren't in anything approaching a 2000 situation, but if anyone could find a way to seize defeat from the jaws of victory and somehow surrender to someone with no real leverage at all its probably the democrats January 20th, 2021, Trump just refuses to unlock the front door of the White House and Biden says aw shucks, we'll get him next time

Xander77 posted:competently constructed (pragmatic and means tested, if you will) Those words have nothing to do with each other. A pragmatic and means tested levee would involve access to empty sand bags* from a central repository 100 miles away if you could prove you already had a foot of water in your home. Sand to fill the bags would be part of a second program that would be approved in the next six to ten years. *empty sandbags would still be $100 each Nix Panicus fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Nov 11, 2020 |

I appreciate how GreyJoyBastard & Herstory only wandered in to get mad about people being skeptical of their beloved pragmatic incrementalism and big wet boy in the White House. Meanwhile I'm ecstatic about support for minority groups being murdered by police being thrown under the bus before the ink is even dry on the vote totals. Its also funny that Schumer floated $50k in student loan debt reduction a few days ago and its already down to $10k. By the time Biden takes office it'll be an option to refinance, for a small fee, for anyone who has been current on their loans for at least three years.
