    If that’s their takeaway, then we’re doomed. They did nothing but court Republicans with their “We can be tough on migrants too” shit. It always blows up in their faces. Biden ran a moderately progressive campaign and blew Trump out of the water. Maybe… just maybe the supposed left party should stop courting the right. Most Americans agree with progressive policies (once you couch them to not sound too “socialist”)

      Hate to break it to you, but we’re doomed. We voted in a fascist.

      The best we can hope for is that Trump is less vicious than his rhetoric or that his incompetence prevents him from doing the many awful things he promised on the campaign trail.

        There are things we can do. Here’s a very simple action you can take that will help. Whenever you see Russian propaganda that violates the rules of whatever social media platform you are using click the report button. It takes just a few seconds of your time and if you are lucky it will get taken down.

        Another thing you can do is education. Tell anyone who is reasonable and will listen about what’s going on.

      Yes, which is why we should’ve sent a different message.

          Been saying it for days, so I’ll say it again.

          Survive now, protest later. Killing yourself and everyone else is not an effective message.

            Let me correct you:

            “Survive maybe, protest never. There is no effective way to send a message regardless of how many people have or will die.”
