I'm not from US, but calling this "VERY small step" is really disingenuous...

Fucking texas is now blue, first time since 1988. I know very little about your weird ass country but I didn't think it was possible.

Take your victory and keep pressure on and keep on squeezing.

    I'm not from the US.My whole fucking point is that a SINGLE country, no matter how influential it is, switching to a slightly less fascistic leadership is nowhere near "huzzah we saved the world" level change, and thinking so highly of yourself (in this case, on the level of a whole nation) is absolutely narcissistic.

    Besides, we've seen what the Dems really do 99% of the time, especially without a charismatic leader who brings cohesion. Aside from a select few new faces, most of the old guard will now just sit back and do nothing. I mean, Hakeem Jefferies already announced they won't seek "to get even" (meaning they won't even try to prosecute obvious criminal activities in the government), nor will they attempt to impeach Trump...
