I know we’re all feeling doom and gloom but can we get a thread of some wins/good news from last night?

    Hopefully liberals will wake up and see they can’t beat fascism, they have to embrace leftism if they want to beat it.

    The people want populism and they no longer want the status quo. The right capitalized on this while the liberals went the moderate-right route, and it failed them. The only solution left is to embrace left wing politics. Unfortunately, I doubt the democrat party will be to keen on the idea of becoming left wing.

    It gives the boomers another chance to solidify their legacy as the worst generation in human history. In a way that helps all of us.

    Delaware elected Sarah McBride, who is the first open transgender representative in Congress.

    Georgia district attorney Fani Willis, who has been trying to prosecute Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election, won reelection.

    Washington Congressman Dan Newhouse, one of the ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump (and one of two in that group who survived the subsequent midterm elections), successfully defended his seat again against a Trump-endorsed opponent. That’s at least one Republican in the House who doesn’t always rubber-stamp the party agenda.

        Which won’t matter when the national abortion ban is passed.

    Liberals are ripe for radicalization and joining Leftists. Not all, of course, some are shifting rightward, but many are disillusioned and shifting left.

    For anyone reading, I can give a basic intro to Marxism reading list if you want. For starters, I recommend Blackshirts and Reds. To know fascism, who it serves, how it rises, and how to stop it is immensely useful.

      Unfortunately, I think liberals are going to continue taking the easy route, which is not really having much of a platform other than “we’re not Trump supporters”

      I’m curious, what part of that do you think will be good for anyone who isn’t a rich which male?
