Instead of listening to leftists in 2016 that said this would be the outcome, liberals shut us down and insisted theirs was the only way forward.
- Being a leftist in America means two things to me. One is that it means I hate it when Im right, and two is I'm right more often than I want to be.
  
  That's just being a leftist, period.
This was the election that made my mom say she wasn't going to vote anymore, which was really heartbreaking.
- None of us are going to get to vote anymore
  
  I'm sure we'll get to vote. Will it matter is the bigger question. Elections are a great way to give people the impression they're not living under tyranny.
  
  True enough 😔
Pretty much, yeah. Shit’s just fucked.
No fucking shit.
Everyone had a hardon for some supposed +1 Harris nonsense poll when if you'd just look at history any time Trump is on the ballot a +1 Dem is actually a -4 Dem.... But every YouTube asshat and major media fuckwit was acting like there was a chance.
I know people want to try to have some positivity but I felt like I was yelling into the void about what the realistic outcome was going to be if we didn't change. Of course "we" can't change, that has to be the Democratic partys choice, but hopefully now we finally dump this useless party.
- It's a lot easier to reshape a political party than to dump them and start afresh.
  
  You can't reshape a party that refuses to change. How many decades have we had the same complaints about them?
- They will learn nothing from this loss and will double down on it in 2028.
  
  I just hope they die off. Now is the time to push for 3rd parties.

  You can literally make up an email address their system sucks so much. We should tell them all to resign.
