DoomTrainPhD posted:Bernie winning the first few primaries (he won Iowa gently caress the DNC) made a lot of us hopeful. We underestimated just how spiteful boomers really are. I was cautiously optimistic, but yeah, once he crushed Nevada I really thought he had it. Apparently I underestimated how many libs out there were just waiting for the TV people to all get on the same page and tell them who they were supposed to vote for.

I would say the fundamental issue is trust/faith in the US government at its core, if you do trust/believe it, your line of thinking will fundamentally work in a certain direction versus a lack of trust/belief beyond just a social divide. It gets down to what is your personal connection to the American state itself. I stumbled on to Planet Quake....

Admittedly, I think Biden will get done even less than I thought he did. I thought he could at least get some weak stimulus bill passed but it seems like even that is going to be a struggle.

Biden is kinda unique in that he genuinely wants Republicans to like him not republican voters, the politicians he will do whatever possible to get mitch to call him a good boy(while mitch calls him a super communist hitler) getting anything good out of him is going to be really, really hard unless it gels with his goal of being loved by the worst people in the country besides himself

Braggins posted:Im new to SA and have no experience in the uspol thread, but I've been waiting for reality to hit for my irl shitlib friends since like 2011 and it still hasn't happened. I had an argument with a journalist friend of mine during the 2020 primary where he literally couldn't believe that I thought Obama was a bad president. The specific subject came up because he tried to use the "success" of the Obama presidency as an example of how moderates are the best at governing. how personally affluent are they? its funny talking to my friends from high school in our chat group, the ones that "made it" and are reasonably successful skew ultraliberal and have superficially progressive social values, but will candidly state they're economically libertarian/free market and they think left wing policy is "bad for business" when you can get them to be honest about i. most of the time they're not being honest about it because its considered rude/bad form to not pretend to give a poo poo about people who didn't become successful PMC types. when people in d&d or irl or wherever are gushing about the democrats or incremental reform (that goes nowhere, but who cares) it's just signalling for people in that class to indicate that their overriding concern is their mortgage and investments and they don't want any rocking of the boat that could affect their property values. any deviation and rising anger about the democratic party constitutes an active threat to their personal lifestyle because the democrats form an extremely important part of a political cartel that forces people who into voting for the class interests of liberals.

It gets an interesting question about the future of the US as a superpower as well. How does this all fit together? The economy is still absolutely hosed (and will be for a while), China is still growing rapidly and the entire country needs trillions of spending on basically everything? I mean we can see how all of this going but yeah lets say it isn't internally consistent.
