the one where he unilaterally claims the electoral votes of places where the votes have not been counted is like feel good tweet of the year.

yeah it’s working, just slow. and the dem leadership is already blaming them for the lack of a blue wave even though huge turnout in justice dem districts is one of the reasons biden hasn’t lost yet [and they spent 88 mil in kentucky to lose by 20 points]

I’ve always been annoyed at fixations on celebrity in politics but it’s obvious some people need the single hero to root for. like yeah bernie is great but I thought it’s weird he doesn’t have a bench of people behind him and he’s just kind of a lone crank in the senate but then I realized that’s part of his appeal

So what you're saynig is bernie is just like trump but for the left.

It's politics boiled down to sports, yeah.

They've been told for decades that government can't help them at all, and they've taken that as a given. Politics are a zero sum competitive sport to them.

They only are about their team winning. Policies are immaterial. They can't even comprehend policies.

yeah.

summarizing and agreeing with some stuff i've seen around - it seems like there's a lot you can do at local/state and even congress (house) level to actually change things, albeit slowly. that said, the presidency is basically down to coke vs. pepsi, its completely disconnected from anything else. i don't think there's much you can do about senate either because it's basically going to just be a proxy for state prez results (or whatever)

dem leadership would prefer having republicans in power than leftists. they will always be attempting to excise leftists even when they're what the actual voters want.

adding DC, PR, USVI, and preferably American Samoa as states would do a lot

although based on what I know about Samoan politics, it’s extremely right wing Christian to the point that iirc homosexuality is illegal

obama at least made sense because the guy had class and was an s-tier orator

he's like the polar opposite which now i'm realizing musk is like the anti-jobs and maybe that was your point
