The moment you step back from the political theater that is USPOL, it becomes incomprehensible. It's like watching people argue over whether a cardboard box or a broken iphone loves us more. Meanwhile, people are being beaten in the streets for having the audacity to demand they shouldn't be beaten in the streets.

Operator, can you help me place this call?
See, the number on this matchbook is old and faded
He's living in LA, he does a live show every day
Guy, I said I knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes?
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell him I'm fine and to show

I've finally cracked and pinged

All "progressive" spaces where people want better things in the abstract but have no supporting ideological framework that forces them to happen and are too bound in their material self-interest to consider better things more important than their current comfort serve the purpose of comfort. It's a weighted blanket.

Its blisteringly obvious what they want to do but apparently Im just not smart enough to understand politics and im just a dipshit doomer

The accelerationists were right, Trump is the only thing that could make liberals/the "left" in America see how broken poo poo is and even try to confront the fact that our system is bad, and of course most people instead of taking the correct lesson of "tear it down" away from it, want to just prop up the existing one by making the bad man go away

I don't see how Biden winning contradicts that point, people were uncomfortable with the truth and just wanted Biden in there to feel good again instead of doing the more difficult work of thinking of a new way of doing things.

People just wanted to get rid of Trump and didn't care what Biden was actually going to do. I think seeing a corporate dem like Biden fail is more likely to radicalize D voters than another republican. (Though Obama's failures didn't radicalize most D's either)

Damning by faint praise here but Trump did more for the left in America than decades of liberalism did. It wasn't enough but think about Obama and what his failures gave us. The only "left wing" movement to really rise up during Obama's years was Occupy and that was quickly seized onto by progressive stack identitarian bullshit.

look at all the numerous, absolute failures in just the first month or so of his presidency. I've seen maybe a tiny handful of liberals go "hmm this doesn't line up with my expectations of reality, maybe I should reconsider how I feel about Biden and the Dems." The vast vast majority are scraping together any possible excuse they can, no matter how unmoored from reality, no matter how easily and quickly falsifiable it is (look at how many people are adamantly defending the 1400+600 bullshit).

Liberals' egos are tied into their perception of themselves as the smart ones, the ones who see reality for what it is, and cannot brook any information that threatens this, so that information must be beaten into submission and forced into whatever insane bugfuck 11d chess they can come up with to explain why Biden is creating more kid cages, etc. And anything they can't explain away gets outright ignored.
