      More like… that same feeling when your flat tire takes air long enough to get you to service station.

      yeah, it still sucks, but hey, at least you don’t have to call a tow. (Because, thanks Obama, my car doesn’t have a spare. the efficiency standards for cars were low enough that they decided to remove the spare to cut it’s weight out…)

        Except Bridgestone doesn’t keep demanding credit for no longer blowing up.

    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?

    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.

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

    Fuck no. People were happy because Trump lost.

      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
