    Then your party should have run a better candidate, Did liberals not learn a thing from 2016?

      I hope that obstinate pleasure tastes as sweet when the new Secretary of of Education goes back to burying people with their student loans instead working to find relief for them. And the Administrator of the EPA decides that forever chemicals in our water don’t need to be regulated. And the new Secretary of Labor decides union busting ought to be protected by the first amendment. And the Secretary of Energy decides wind and solar are the problem actually and natural gas is the future. And the Director of National Intelligence decides the National Socialist Database would pair nicely with the National Trans Identification Registry. Or when the 2-3 fresh, young faces on the supreme court establish fetal personhood. And overturn Obergefell. and Lawrence. and Loving.

        People like this are either very privileged or incredibly masochistic.

        They seem to get a pleasure out of watching everything go down the toilet while screaming about how they were right all along.

        Then your party should have run a better candidate. Your candidate right now is turning on the trans community, Your a candidate is helping support a war that is spewing hundreds of thousands of tons of emission into the atmosphere. Your party busted up a union strike. And your party already threw gay and lesbian marriages and interracial marriages under the bus with the respect for Marriage Act.

      Obviously you learned nothing.

      Socialists failed to get the vote out for Bernie, even when they knew it would be an uphill fight.

      Now they are failing again.

      I wish I had the privilege of being safe enough not to have to worry about Trump deputizing a bunch of Red Hats and doing mass arrests.

        Bernie is not a socialist. Bernie is and always has been a sheepdog. He’ll spout all of these socialist leaning tidbits of rhetoric then support those that we are fighting against.

          So, you had a chance to get a Left leaning pol elected, and threw it away because he wasn’t perfect?

          What am I missing here?

            He is a DNC sheepdog, The DNC has had a sheepdog every election. A somewhat progressive sounding voice to give disenfranchised Democrat voters the illusion that if they stick around long enough, they might eventually get a seat at the table. And sheepdogs always sheepdog until it’s too late to form outside coalitions from the party, allowing enough time for ballot access. And now that it’s too late for those outside coalitions, their true colors come bleeding through.
