Hopefully Biden will work to reverse some of the damage that orange asshole has done.

I mean I'm all for cutting Trump's head off but America has been a colonial/imperial oppressor and murderer for well over 100 years at this point and is no less of one without Trump so congratulating us on not being giant douchebags anymore is ludicrous. We haven't walked back a single thing we did under Bush Jr. that made us a country of imperialist war criminals and I'm pretty sure we won't now.

Before America it was the Europeans. Now they're "above" imperialism as soon as it's no longer in their grasps. How convenient.

Not that I wanna discourage optimism but maybe temper your expectations a bit or else risk being black pilled yet again

Biden is better than Trump. That's true. This was a very modest and marginal victory. That's also true.

Man when you haven’t eaten in 4 years crumbs taste like steak

Plus goddamn man I want to feel good

And Harris had a great smile on that stage

I’ll probably fall back into my hateful ways but not today

Ridin With Biden!!!

[jwb]

I'm not encouraging you to fall back into black pill

That was just as illogical as baseless optimism

I'm just saying manage your expectations. Learn to be content with a marginal victory instead of convincing yourself it's something else.

Trump lost

That’s a ****ing mountain of joy right there

[jwb]

Alright I guess

I pretty much knew he was going to lose so maybe that's what dulled the effect

[OccultHawk]

I’m gonna be even happier when Joe’s actually sworn in and Trump’s sorry ass is gone.

I’m not going to cheat myself out of that moment with cynicism.

I agree with you. The U.S. will continue to be a giant douchebag, as is the tradition, just not quite so toxic (and orange).

One of the things I'm interested to see is how the parties will pivot from this.

The Democratic Party hasn't controlled the White House since the Bernie revolution, and in 2018, Bernie was a dominant figure. Assuming the Progressive Left doesn't hemorrhage Congressional members, it might make for a logical shift in how foreign intervention is carried out.

Also, I think there's going to be a lot of Congress taking back power, and a wind-down of Executive power creep. 70-something days until the transfer. We'll see.
