Also we are not out of danger yet. Most experts predicted the actual vote would go okay, but were worried about the aftermath.

    The next month is going to be crazy. I predict very desperate measures from people trying to avoid jail, including Musk fleeing the US.

    Nah. As long as the democrats are also led by spineless, oligarch and AIPAC-friendly do-nothings like Schumer and Jeffries, nothing important will be done. Progressive, democratic socialists need to become the majority of the party and take over the leadership in order to do anything significant. Things like impeaching corrupt SCOTUS members, impeaching and convicting Trump, Hegseth etc.

    The first important step is done, dems have achieved a great victory today. But the next step will be equally as important for the future of the USA. They will have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer ASAP. At least Pelosi is gone already.

    Why would Musk have to flee? Would the Dems charge him with a federal crime that trump already said he would pardon?

    I hope the Dems have more teeth this time but what happens if Musk or whoever just doesn't show up to a subpoena, or just show but claim that every answer falls under executive privilege so they can't answer.

    Whatever happens I hope the Dems are smart enough to pick different leaders in both chambers. We don't need any more of Jeffries or Schumer.

  • Oh I'm sure they have suits lined up across the country ready to claim fraud perpetrated by all their usual boogeymen among other things. I can hope the courts continue file them in the round file just as much as they did with 2020.

    Going to need a lot of state cases filed since inevitably he'll try to pardon everyone around him, but he can't touch state charges.

    The next couple months before a new seating is going to be wild for sure.

    They're not going to do shit. They know they got destroyed and the people aren't on their side. The fact that they conceded Texas already should tell you everything. It's literally their most important state outside of Florida.

    So sick of the relentless and irrational cynicism on this app.

    Yeah you can be a blase and full of copium if you'd like. I think the rest of us aren't willing to just sit still and assume the fascist are going to play by the rules. The price for fighting against fascism is constant vigilance. We got to keep an eye on these fuckers not go to sleep and let them do what they want while we're not paying attention.

    You and your buddy Hakeem Jeffries can pretend like it's time to get along, the rest of us remember that Americans were being and are being murdered in the streets. Those lives might have meant nothing to you, but a lot of us went out voted because they do to us. Constant vigilance.

    My buddy Hakeem Jefferies? Lmao yeah right.

    I never said we should take our foot off the gas, I said they aren't going to reverse the election results because guess what, they fucking can't.

    Mike Johnson just announced he isn't even running for minority leader next year but you think they're going to stop the new Congress from being seated? They're conceding all over the place, is that what you'd do if you were going to rig the election?

    You're just another weirdo terminally online mfer who can't admit that all your whining and agitating and pessimism was based on pure delusion, and you're too cowardly to admit you were wrong.
