The amazing thing is, I would have been right there with them less than a year ago, choking down neckfuls of hindbrain cognitive dissonance and threading that needle between "yeah it's fine to vote for Joe" and "yeah the Dems are bad and actually not better than Republicans even though they say nicer things."

The crack and ping are real yo.

My crack ping moment was when Obama went into Libya. Up until then I was making excuses for him: "yeah, he caved on single payer, and on taxes on the rich ... but at least he'll never start a new war like Bush". Not after that.

I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but by 11/9 I was fully jokerpilled: I found myself reading the general election thread over and over, just grinning ear to ear at the existential suffering of the hillarymen. I look forward to tasting the 2020 vintage in November.

Does me saying things like Trump is offering nothing to stop police brutality but Biden is offering corporate tax cuts violate this?

All of the blood on Crooked's hands are on Obama's as well. Him picking her as SoS was a huge red flag that should have been noticed, but optimistic idiots like me didn't.

Also, I would pay irresponsible amounts of money for video/audio of election night in the Clinton bunker.

How quickly do you think she realized she was going to lose? I remember being pretty sure by 9PM EST or so.

Who do you think she blamed first: Bernie or Russia?

Ezra Klein posted:

If you looked at his first video about the George Floyd killing and then the protest that turned violent, it just didn’t have any of the “on the one hand, on the other hand” “order is important” language. It was just straightforward: There has been a murder committed by police and that is the cause of this, even more so than the way Obama would talk about things like this a couple of years back.

and i was like bwuh really that doesnt sound like him so i looked it up and

Well going by the D&D primary thread, people there started to realize something was up when FL was so close for so long. Was hat 9 or 8? I don't remember. If it was 8 then by 9, yeah. Whenever it was that the panhandle started getting the vote in, NC's result became clear, and the vote started coming in from the rust belt, showing a close race.

As for who she blamed first ... lol I don't know, but I'm sure Robby "The Algorithm Never Lies!" Mook, who was there in the bunker, got a few new assholes ripped open. I'm surprised the man hasn't committed suicide via multiple gunshots to the back yet.

She absolutely blamed Bernie, first. The contempt she still has for him, nearly 4 years later, is palpable through just about any medium; I can only image how seething with rage she was at him taking the only thing she's ever wanted away from her in 2016.

My big crack ping moment a few weeks or decades ago was realizing that whether Biden or Trump wins will not meaningfully change anything for the blue state DNC Democratic politicians. They won't lose their positions or their donor paychecks one way or the other. Pelosi and Schumer's lives won't meaningfully change.

Really, Biden winning is the worse case scenario outside of a miracle like a third party gaining more votes than he does. Biden winning means they would actually need to do work to justify their phoney baloney jobs rather than figuring out statements that sound sarcastically anti-Trump at first for the shitlib base, but are actually 100% serious.

In short, gently caress Biden, won't vote for him, and gently caress the comfortable liberals who believe in nothing but having cushy do-nothing jobs.

if trump loses there might actually be enough anger at the national democratic party that aoc would primary challenge schumer and wed finally be rid of that grotesquely ineffective schizophrenic weirdo once and for all

its a small chance and complicated by the fact that aoc is both currently canceled and disturbingly in apparent thrall to the succ but ill take a small chance over the jack poo poo chance wed get with a biden victory
