    This fatalism is so fucking pathetic.

    Did the left start winning and forget that we have always had to struggle and fight for every scrap of humanity the oligarchy and the political class try to hoard?

    What the fuck?

    Stop crying.

      Bruh, a literal fascist who wants to be a dictator day one and wants lifetime control over the country was just elected by more people than the alternative.

      Fuck you.

        Our two party first past the post voting system and its long and fraught history lead to some minority percentage of the US population getting their dude into power. Over a guy in his 80s apparently blind to genocide who passed the torch to <checks notes> a former prosecutor with a “tough on crime” persona who spent a lot of time hobnobbing with celebs and saying everything was going fine, including the genocide. That is true.

          I think you and your ilk are going to come to the conclusion soon that the gamble y’all played this past election is going to blow up in your faces.

          we won’t be your pawns to sacrifice.

      My dude, we can hold both the idea of “we’re so fucked” and “we’re going to fight like hell” in our brain. Fuck off with your patronizing bullshit.

        I’m sorry, my dude. I am just so tired of seeing this all - the - fucking - time.

        I am not trying to be patronizing. My bad. I want us all motivated to do good shit, rather than just feel like we are fucked. 🤷‍♂️

        We can win.

          Hell yeah man, it’s all good, I’m sorry for coming in hot there. It’s going to suck but I’m with you and believe we’ve got this in the long run. Going to be a shitty four years (again) though

            It’s a great time to be organizing to build the future, solidarity gets stronger in shitty times. More people than ever have realized that the democrats are, and always have been center right, that is what liberal means everywhere else in the world, they are not the key, they are not us and now is our time!
