    I understand the poster may be very emotional because of the election. Yet, This strikes me as incredibly reductive.

    I think she lost because, she represents the continuation of the current administration. People want to break from the status quo, even if that means harming society to do it.

    The dems need a left wing populist, asap.

      I keep hearing this ‘status quo’ excuse but no one ever explains what the fuck that’s supposed to even mean.

      Too little too late. If the GOP sees a left wing populist emerge they will use the all three branches of government to crush them and entrenched themselves further.

      This was checkmate friends. Violent revolution is the only option left. It’s probably going to take 20-40 years before everyone gets there but luckily for us climate change will have already taken root and we just get to burn.

        Literally all you post is political rage-bait. How is the weather in Russia these days comrade?

        This kind of shit is exactly what Russia wants. Divide the US, push violence, destabilize the country. We have paths forward that do not involve violence. Now is the time to push for ranked choice voting to allow 3rd party candidates a real chance. The DNC has been out of touch for years, and ranked choice voting will allow us to side step them and choose a candidate with a real chance.

        Start small and local. Connect with your local representatives. Have a conversation about ranked choice voting. Come up with a plan that we can achieve together to make this a reality.

      A populist isn’t gonna save you from the toxicity of your society and the stupidity of your people. You guys deserve what you get
