As we near the moment of knowing that this nightmare will be over, I’m not experiencing the giddy excitement I expected to feel. I feel more the shock of knowing how close we came to the demise of our democracy, and an almost tearful gratitude that we survived.

Sadly, as much as you see, your blind allegiance to the DNC has put you on the wrong side of the fence on this one. You’re not feeling giddy because your soul knows.

This is how I know that Black Americans are screwed. The depths of our continued degradation & penury, will correlate one to one with the relief the rest of America feels. I'm so glad your democracy was saved, Ms. Williamson. Maybe one day, I'll get to experience it, huh?

Capitalism is the death of democracy and that is as alive as ever in America

The nightmare continues. It began 30 years ago when the Dems were taken over by neoliberals, it intensified 8 years ago when Dems adamantly refused to offer a progressive alternative to neoliberalism's inevitable product, fascism, and now they think they've been vindicated.

The worst is yet to come. First the baby is going to light the country on fire going out the door. Then 4 years of neo-lib hell from a Biden administration where wall street wins and main street is screwed. The next Trump is coming.. It might be this Trump.

I love how people are talking about how we narrowly saved democracy - by electing the party that crushed all opposition and eliminated all choice.
