More like only 1 side can be fixed and the fix has to arrive otherwise you end up with a more destructive Donald.

BOth SIdEs ArE ThE SAMe?

Cons are generally terrible for workers and I know they're not interested in doing anything for poor people.

Left is firmly in control of neolibs that don't care about workers and poor people either. Right isn't going to fix the Left for us.

Corporate Dems are currently strutting around like it's their victory. They were awfully silent when it was time to support some of the Blue candidates. GOP keeps making things worse and Corporate Dems keep playing along at the expense of workers who just handed them victory in the most unlikely places.

Before 1968, a high school grad having enough money to own a home and support a stay at home wife was considered normal. Between 1968 and 1992 there was exactly one Dem President, Jimmy Carter.

It was the GOP that took us to a time when 'middle class' meant two jobs.

But yes, let's vote for them to save the economy! /s

He should ask them their favourite memories of the bases they had to evacuate.

I hope they livestream it...

Some real divorced dad energy.

Working class being ignored and poor people being left in the ditch was a huge factor why people ignored Trump's flaws and voted for the clown anyway.

It's easier to blame just the voters. It's harder to hold Dems accountable.

Left is the only side that can do anything about neoliberalism. Right will never fight for the working class but they will get protest votes from the workers mad at Left. Fix the Left. That's a better use of time than blaming voters or Conservative grifters.

So, if you take the Iran War and gas at $6.00/gallon away, what changed?

People knew Trump was a rapist and a crook in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Too little too late, he's still got 2 years and left there is all the damage of the past 2 years to fix.

we desperately need to transition away from oil, both for climate reasons and because it's a limited resource that will run low at some point

And being a limited resource, as the resource becomes increasingly depleted, there will be more excuses for bombing other countries to take control of their oil supplies. Which, beyond the reasons you laid out, is a damn good reason to transition away from burning oil to power things.

High cost of living is only exacerbated by dragging our feet on sustainability.

eh... maybe. He's clearly a lame duck now, his administration and policies just got the party wiped out. The will of the people is against him. How many of his cronies are still going to go to bat for him, or will they do their damnedest to distance themselves from malfeasance and save their skins now? They're in it for themselves first and foremost, and they're all comically incompetent to boot

Detrump the white house.

It's encouraging to get some politicians in congress that are more receptive to climate issues, but I have a nagging worry about the implications of this election, as far as climate stuff goes: It seems like a significant part of the election result was driven by anger over cost of living issues, especially gas prices.

Now, the reason the gas prices have been high is terrible, sure, I'm not in favor of bombing countries into submission- but as a general matter, we desperately need to transition away from oil, both for climate reasons and because it's a limited resource that will run low at some point. People do not often change their lifestyle without pressure, especially when they are not wealthy enough to buy more expensive things to make a statement without taking a hit to their comfort, so it is also important that the price of gasoline, and other fossil fuels, and ultimately other high impact aspects of our modern lifestyle that we desperately need to shift to more sustainable alternatives to (like high percentages of meat in diets, or large spread out housing separated by lawns, for example) increases to match the cost it truly exacts on us in the long run.

For someone following that lifestyle who wishes to avoid changing it, this would appear as a rise in the cost of fuel, food, housing, and cost of living in general, and while the reason for that cost increase might be different from the reasons for this one, it worries me that ultimately, things that need to happen to avert more serious problems down the road are likely to be fundamentally unpopular enough to be impossible to implement before disaster or resource scarcity forces the issue, with worse consequences than if it were done sooner.

Dont get me wrong, I do still think this this is a better election result than what we have now, but some of the reasons I keep seeing for why it happened concern me.

I think this one ranks higher:

He's cornered, and now he'll be more dangerous.

Forget precedent. Do your fucking jobs.

By "the end" - are we talking "end of his presidency"?

"Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet..."

Nevada and Virginia voted in favor of allowing abortions within state lines. Missouri voted against repealing a constitutional amendment supporting abortion access that was introduced via a ballot initiative in 2024. Idaho was the sole exception on Tuesday as voters sided against a citizen-initiated statute that would have enshrined abortion access as a statutory right.

Every picture is the grosest picture of him.

Words mean little more than the description of action, while action requires no words. Don’t talk, just do, because no one cares about what they want to do, we only what to hear about what they DID.
