  • And the fruit and vegetable prices when they're forced to pay minimum wage to pick it - or worse - pay that is attractive enough to get people willing to pick it in the summer sun and heat. $30/hr? Welcome to a half pint of raspberries costing $25.

  • And the rightwards pivot chasing the "regretful Trump voter" and that stellar Cheney endorsement.

    Republicans voted GOP just like they always did. People who wanted anything resembling change stayed home. Unfortunately they're going to get that change.....

    I voted Harris, but the Democrats need to abandon neo liberalism and embrace economic populism. People need affordable housing, healthcare, affordable healthy food, and a plan for the climate that doesn't involve mass extinction.

    That being said, these people won't live long enough to see the worst of it. I hope that I don't. I don't have children, but I imagine that if you're under 35 right now, you're going to live long enough to see the water wars.

  • Nope. Assuming that Trump loses (which I had thought was a foregone conclusion, but genocide and stupidity is a hell of a drug).....

    People like being on the winning team. And having lost the popular vote three times in a row, Trumpism will start to fade. Republicans will switch to the Democrat party, cementing the current rightwards shift. Imagine the Democrats being pro-border in 2020? 2022?

    The only silver lining is that in 8 to 10 years we might actually see a progressive party emerge.

    If Trump wins, we get faster genocide plus Fascism at home, so at least there's that to look forward to. Hope you're practicing how to be a straight cis white male Christian because it's going to be a rough time for everyone else.

    But hey, Jill Stein won't get that check from Putin unless you vote for her and Cornel West has alimony payments to make.
