Congrats, you elected an anti-Medicare for all, pro Israel party to oppose Trump again. Even if they fulfil their campaign promises you'll just be back to the status quo everyone hated so much it gave rise to open fascism. Your shitty party needs constant pressure not to fuck this up.

    Oh, so we should have let the fascists keep running amok? It isn't that I love Democrats or their platforms, it's that they are the enemy of my enemy. I don't trust them, but I know they are, most unfortunately, the most effective tool we currently have.

    Look, we are living here, we know what the fuck is up. We don't trust them either, but this lot are very clearly better than the alternative. Work remains to be done, but maybe take a breath while the dust settles so people can tone down their anxiety. Shit's unhealthy to live with for so long.

    And for all the blue, some of us are still stuck in stubborn red states. The fight is far from over and nobody knows it better than those who have been living inside of it.

    Because everyone loves it when Americans have shit to say about everyone else's politics, right? So we do what we love having done to us, right? Yes, good!
