Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

votes for Biden were "anything oh god anything but this."

So I guess we do this again in four years? Assuming elections are still a thing.

I think I'm just done. as many Democrats as Ive voted for and the best they can do is "Not as actively evil?" tired of it. Starting to think if we're going to hell on a bucket maybe I should be the one holding the handle.

The dems are not our party. I don't they ever will be in the foreseeable future. The issue is not making the dems win but stopping the GOP.

If elections still exist, and the Democratic Party still hasn't been deposed, yes. We'll likely have a mass of people voting to get rid of Trump's chaos for anyone else, and the Dems will receive a boost. Then, when they run the same milquetoast candidate 4 years later with nothing to offer but "better than the alternative," they'll fail again.

It's basically the same back and forth pendulum as before, but accelerated. Now incumbents can't even expect to receive all 8 years before the pendulum shifts.

You're probably right, but I hate that you're probably right. No fault of yours.

It's okay, I hate that I'm probably right too. Today has been a really shitty day for being right. I'm probably going to spend the rest of my life thinking about how this last decade went, and if there was anything more I could have done.

Yeah but it didn't carry. Guess everyone forgot Trump.
