So seems like americans can be on probation again, now just do the same in the next election as well, don't lose steam.
So it seems the democrats win quite a lot, now we will see if they will actually do anything as well.. I'm not having high hopes to be honest.
@sotolf@polymaths.social the way I understand it, and I don't understand it very well, is the Paedophile in Chief still has quite a lot of power.
One man should not have the power to overrule a house of elected officials quite frankly.
@paul Yeah, and even if they have the representatives, I remember the democrats leaning pretty much in the same right direction, heavily to "catch voters from the other sides" and stuff like that. So I just hope they actually does something and not just let themselves be run over, and being "nice" to the other people, because it will lead nowhere good, and it's possible that nothing really changes at all. And then they may squander all the current goodwill, if they don't do anything with the power that they have got now.

I remember a meme from 2016 that had two frames with nearly identical pictures.
The top frame said "Republicans" and showed a bomber plane carpet-bombing an unspecified location.
The bottom frame said "Democrats" and had the same plane, but with democratic/liberal slogans like "I'm with her" and maybe a rainbow flag and stuff pasted over it as livery.
That about sums it up, sadly. They're really cut from the same cloth, unless "we the people" get in their business and make the Democrats live up to their supposed "liberalism" (I almost can't say "leftism" because it's such a hated term here 🤦♂️)

The fundamental problem with it, to me, is that if you're just "shooting the middle," you're just the sum of two extremes. It's just basic arithmetic.
Shooting for some actual virtue means that you don't get redefined by shifting Overton windows easily.

Yeah. Kinda like asking everyone around you what they think and just coming up with something that goes with the flow. :P
