Winning by more than 5 million votes and 306 electoral college votes is not a narrow victory. The bitching from the Progressive left has gotten old.

Don’t be an obtuse fuckwit.

Since I’m in the grays and my original comment will probably never get approved, just want to cosign your post. Representation ALWAYS matters, especially in a traditionally misogynistic institution like the military and Pentagon as a whole.

What I want from the Secretary of Defense is a competent individual, with a lot of experience in the DoD, who understands the department and who is going to follow the lawful orders of the President.  Flourney is that.  If we want to stop forever wars, we do that by pressing the Commander-in-Chief and Congress to stop…

I’m sorry, but this is such a silly take. I realize it’s reflexive for a lot of us on the left to believe that we’d win in a landslide if only we just ran much further to the left and to proclaim that every set back is proof of that article if faith, but there’s very little evidence for that. It would be one thing if…

Seriously. If we don’t figure out how to bring the left together, we are well and truly fucked. I live in a district that flipped from red to blue in 2018. My rep BARELY won by around a thousand votes. Why? Attack ads using the words “socialism” and “defund the police.” If AOC thinks that stuff plays well in all areas…

It took about 0.3 minutes after the election was called for the progressives to start chastising the “establishment Dems” for not championing UBI and Medicare for all and free college tuition and eliminating student loans, etc etc (aka Bernie’s Ten Commandments) bc the race should’ve been a landslide!!!11!

I’ve read lots of epically stupid Jezebel posts, but this has to up there. By the logic of this article it wouldn’t be good to have a woman President either, since they’d be “complicit in US imperialism.” You know there will be a Secretary of Defense no matter what, right? And they aren’t going to hire a peace…

“We’re often disillusioned, hurt, and dismayed, but we do it because the alternative is worse and our communities cannot afford worse.”

What we learned is that many White people lied. We have learned that many Americans, our neighbors, our cousins, our friends, so called “allies”, “suburban moms”, “moderates”, “independents” are lying cowards who lie to gullible pollsters. The dishonesty and the cowardice is very much on brand for those that don’t have…

The “covered extensively” amounts to “Biden has been silent on the issue” so maybe we have differing views on what it means to cover something “extensively.”  

It’s possible to have this discussion on any day but Election day. This article is 8 months too late or 2 months too early.

Cool. Let’s publish this think piece on Jan 21, 2021 if we have the luxury the moment DONALD FUCKING TRUMP IS NO LONGER THE PRESIDENT.

This seems like a good conversation about policy to have at any time other than right now.

A Biden win is not a victory in and of itself, but it is a means to an end. If you think anybody - sex workers and the countless other marginalized folks - will even have a seat at the table in the second Trump term, then you’re sorely mistaken.  This is not a “both sides don’t care about x” this is, “one side will…

Some people have no taste.

Now that I’ve slept on this, I have mixed feelings. Overall, I’m doing the schadenfreudiest dance I’ve ever fucking done, but I have some thoughts.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Trumpers.

Imagine paying upwards of $250K just to catch a potentially fatal and debilitating disease.

they won’t. Remember, the thing fueling anti-mask protest is fear. People are terrified of the notion that an invisible disease can cut you down, so they double down on conspiracy theories or anything that says they don’t. have to be afraid.

So if he really did get it? Oh it’s not that big of a deal.

And (god hoping) he…
