Jesus went to hell. That’s actual Christian doctrine. It’s called the Harrowing of Hell. 1Peter 4:6 and Ephesians 4:9 make direct reference to it.

You sure about that?

Thanks for doing that, they’ll probably be sorted out by 2026!

The only criticism I have with that is the transfer of campaign funds. Harris was able to take control of the war chest immediately. That’s the one justification I can see for giving her the nod.

Living up to the middle of your username, I see.

that’s a sticky question,

No, the banshee-wailing fuck it isn’t!

If someone truly believes they are in fucking danger, they need to remove themselves from the danger first and foremost, before any consideration of “but what about next election?”

O, to be so proverbially blissful.

The feeling is mutual.

You forgot the quotes. “Power.” She’ll be a progressive member of the minority party under a fascist regime who has already signaled a complete lack of care for its political adversaries.

I’d argue that the two women are not far removed from one enother in the amount of power they will wield.

Not a Democrat, just someone who understands that without unity during this election, we were always going to get this result.

There were two candidates who could win. I didn’t like either of them. That doesn’t mean one wasn’t closer to what I’d like to see for this country.

Now we have what we have.

Which is it? There are so, so many progressives who can effect change out there, or most everyone to the left of the Dems conformed but it wasn’t enough?

Road map for me how she will be of any positive effect once the new administration takes power.

As if they’d let you secede.

Sounds like anyone and everyone who couldn’t figure out that we weren’t beating fascism unless we stuck together really fucked up. Now we get to live with it.

What we get to accept now is GOP control of the executive, judicial, and both chambers of the legislative.

Moot point. The opportunity has passed.

Pyrrhic victory. She has her seat, but will likely have no ability to influence any positive change. A unified front was needed, a unified front did not emerge.

There was no “winning” divided. Now we all lose together.

I almost feel like I’m being contrarian by asking this, though it isn’t my intent: your alternatives sound great at first blush, but how do you intend that those alternatives are enforced? Does that lead into your estimated >1% of offenders?

Velveeta.
