That is absolutely absurd to say that, more absurd than the irrational exuberance seen in your election projections.
I joined here in 2004 after Bush won. The main community focus was how to win.

Yesterday I saw the first hint that there is going to be some blame-spreading to explain how Kamala Harris could possibly have lost this election. Perhaps that fight cannot be avoided, because it is human nature to want to blame somebody when something...

OK, this is 2000, 2004, and 2016 all over again.
Actually, no.
All those times we knew we were in for bad policies, bad appointments, bad judges, and everything that comes with a president you don��

If you are like me, you will need mental health breaks to maintain your sanity this year. For my part, I am starting my day with a great song, working alphabetically by song title (note: this does ...

Jake: Well, you finally won an election, how do you feel about that? Trump: I won all the elections, especially 2020. Jake: Now you know that's not true. You even admitted just within the last month that you lost by a sliver. Trump: It was a small...

Citizens can parse, argue, lament all we want. It does not and will not matter. Go for it - vent. Maybe we might learn the lessons this time. History suggests otherwise though All i know today is come January the regressively obsessed christofascits...

So we awaken to what's pretty much "worst case scenario" this election cycle, and while we can (and will, later) nitpick how things went wrong, I thought it first useful to have a discussion about some hard truths we on the left need to start...

My despair over the disaster that was Tuesday has transitioned to pure white-hot fury. The fact that a majority voted to put that treasonous son of a bitch back in the White House has completely destroyed my hope for the future of this country. These...

LOL… I literally had this big dissertation written up about how your side can avoid this sort of feeling in the future and win consistently… I tried the same thing for the right in 2012, for the left in 2016, for the right again in 2020, and now back...

I am imagining a day very soon when Joe Biden resigns. Let The Prosecutor manage the transition. Reveal all the evidence now that we will never get to see because it will be destroyed. A lot of people need to fall on their swords and do the right thing...

I was bouncing around YouTube this morning, looking for something that would help me want to do something besides just listen. Olbermann was being Olbermann, Belle (Beau) of the Fifth Column was okay, I watched a couple of minor shorts, and then I hit...

I have posted very few blog entries. This is mostly due to the fact that I usually only feel compelled to post when I'm in a fairly hysterical state of mind. Well I've lost it! Why? Because the people on my side of the aisle have refused to face facts...

No more whining and sniveling! It’s very sad and disgusting what happened in the election, and now we have a “man” who will be president on January 20 who is a would-be dictator -- ONLY IF WE LET HIM! Our slogan from now on has to be “REFUSE AND...

Hello, friends. By now, the news has settled: Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party have suffered a historic defeat. Donald Trump is once again President of the United States, and Republicans have swept the House (I know this is TBD but really?), the...

The leader of the Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Dennis Schnurr, last week offered an election prayer that contained the sentence, “Give us the government we need, not the government we deserve.” Well, that certainly didn’t happen. I’m 76 and for...

The biggest problem from election day; voter apathy. Turns out many people simply chose to stay home in a “pox on both their houses” grand gesture. This is the biggest cohort of people responsible for the orange nazi. Fuck you. You freeloading...

Vice President Kamala Harris ran a promising campaign that initially had all the ingredients for success. Her background, policy knowledge, and the support she garnered as the first female Vice President provided her with a unique position to make...

One of the things that has bugged me the most has been the reporting of this, which is basically the inverse of Joe Biden's "very narrow" victory, in 2020 as a "landslide" because it confounded expectations. I looked at the final results, Trump won...
