The thing is. We need awareness and we need to know we are tired. We do, and we’re not going to dtop saying it or telling people. We don’t really need marble etches of Trumo’s head with a medusa vestige being held by a modern day Perseus with a tapestry that reads, “Sic Semper Tyrannis”.

We need messages in social groups pinging constantly and to form voting plans for every group of democrats we can, especially the ones that have a hard time voting. We need to blast the message in a way only the people can, and you won’t see that in these corporate channels.

They really don’t get it… They just can’t fathom that liberals are voting for Democrats to save democracy not because we have any interest in Joe Biden. We just don’t want to become North Korea. How hard is that to understand?

Jesus, centrist Democrats really imagine that people were that happy because Biden won?

Fuck no. People were happy because Trump lost.

And cheered on Biden as he kept most of Trump’s worst policies.

Relieved Trump lost. I’ll be relieved if he loses again and will vote for whomever isn’t Trump again too though. No matter what.

From the article:

I would estimate that a very tiny percentage of the joy was attributable to specific policy objectives of the incoming Biden administration and that virtually all of it reflected relief that the bad man was gone. The 81,268,924 voters who pulled the lever for Biden were united by the belief that Donald Trump’s presidency was a civic emergency

Yes, I read the article. The headline is not consistent with the article, nor is it consistent with reality.

Yeah, they didn’t read it. It’s a very pro-Biden anti-Trump article.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
