  1. Ok yes I agree. But we have to figure out where she went wrong in her messaging as well
  2. I think one of Kamalaโ€™s fatal mistakes was not supporting a single payer Medicare for All. Where did that talk go all of a sudden? Donโ€™t you want to energize people? Did she ever talk about continuing the Biden fight for student loan forgiveness? Then her vague fracking and price fixing answers.
  3. Yes thatโ€™s the point. Weโ€™ll see what the trends are in the next 5 years after more destructive storms in Florida and water supplies dwindling in Texas
  4. You act as if migration to Florida at least is a never ending thing. I know you support a party that doesnโ€™t believe in climate change, but itโ€™s happening. Coastal regions are disappearing, storms are getting stronger, cost of losses are increasing causing insurance rates to go up or not being offered at all. Texas is getting drier and hotter.
  5. I suggested to my husband we find some hobbies and take some classes and volunteer more in our community like the food pantry or something. Take our minds off it, give back to the community, and remind ourselves how good we do have it even if everything looks bleak right now
  6. Dems did see him as a one term president. He didnโ€™t. Nothing you can about that
  7. Maybe, if we deem them so. Thatโ€™s why we have an amendment process. Thereโ€™s nothing in the constitution mandating a 9 member scotus or the filibuster
  8. We know that. Thatโ€™s not the point. Itโ€™s still a relic that needs to go
  9. He will still hold the base under his spell. Theyโ€™ll need him until his body is lying in state in the capitol rotunda
  10. Texaggy was crowing about polls showing trump in the lead and sweeping all the swing states. We laughed them off. I bet in the coming days, analysis will show they were actually pretty accurate, we were just in denial
  11. So whatโ€™s gonna happen when inflation doesnโ€™t magically go away, or gets worse? Iโ€™m sure the electorate will hold trump accountable just like Biden
  12. And yet those same people arenโ€™t outraged at all at the billionaires pulling the strings. In fact, they adore and worship them
  13. On one hand, itโ€™s hard to fathom what happened. All these stories of women outpacing men, first time voters, blah blah blah. It meant absolutely fucking nothing in the end. How did this happen? I guess we made too many assumptions about where those votes were going. But it still does t make sense. On the other hand, it all makes sense. Inflation and the average Americanโ€™s understanding of it was at the forefront throughout Bidenโ€™s presidency. What could he have done differently. Use the Clinton โ€œI feel your painโ€? Would that have made a difference? If there was a magic deflation button on the Resolute Desk, Iโ€™m sure he would have pressed it. So much to dig through. My husband is devastated, as am I. But I told him what can we do? Like I said last night. Live our lives and prepare for the what may be coming. I told him weโ€™re going to need each other. I remember trying to be hopeful in 2016 because, again, what are our options. I couldnโ€™t have imagined how bad it actually turned out. Iโ€™m afraid itโ€™ll be worse this time
  14. Been reading The Fourth Turning off and on and I think itโ€™s either that or a major world war by then. Maybe both!
  15. I think itโ€™s pretty clear that I think itโ€™s over
  16. I think I will have to check out on politics for a long time. Focus on my husband, family, and preparing for the future whatever may come. My hope for this country has been extinguished
  17. They didnโ€™t bungle it. Itโ€™s by design
  18. But we knew we had a lot more mail in ballots to be counted. Itโ€™s not the same this year
  19. I remember thinking in 2016 that was the sign that trump was going to win. I feel the same way now though Iโ€™m in denial
  20. So sheโ€™s down now in PA?
  21. Ok awake from my nap. What did I miss, tell me everything
  22. I was gonna try a nap too since Iโ€™m working night shift tonight too, but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s gonna happen
