Well Biden/Harris have worked out how to outvote the rednecks and that lesson will be repeated going forward.

This wasn’t a pro Biden vote, it was largely an anti Trump vote. Biden needs to make sure he addresses the issues that affect people who normally don’t vote but did in this election, especially IMO financial inequality.

They have a decent act coming up to stop and reverse years of GOP disenfranchisement. But removing barriers to vote won’t matter if people don’t believe their vote has any effect on their lives, then they still won’t vote. Everything can’t be fixed in 1 term, but he will have to make demonstrable progress that the democrats are not just as owned by the 1%ers as the GOP.

I really like AOC but at the moment she is a rookie still

I have a lot of respect for her. Problem is that she’s talking to her local constituents, not the entire country. Biden won by being the guy that was most acceptable to the entire country, nobody’s first choice, but most people’s second choice. The U.S. is moving in the direction of AOC, but it will be decades before she is a viable presidential candidate. My money is one her being a flash in the pan, most politicians turn out like that.

That’s a very good summary.

Biden was the safe pair of hands the democrats needed. If they can undo some of the voter suppression and gerrymandering which they have already stated they are looking to do then in years to come a more radical democrat could be viable

I very much doubt AOC will be a flash in the pan. she is too able for that.

Hopefully the problems at home will stop him from destroying/ bringing democracy to any more countries.

Came here to post that. MrsTH and I said the same thing pretty much in unison.

Having worked for a ridiculous boss before, who left against their will knowing they were in the right (spoiler alert, they weren’t), I know exactly how he feels, it feels incredible.

Today in go-big-or-go-home post-election litigation, two lawyers are asking a judge in Texas to invent an entirely new system of government (and also order that they not be arrested). https://t.co/tbhtOZCqJw pic.twitter.com/W9Ux8LyaZT

thols – that should have been filed in the Wacko division, not Waco.
As for the two lawyers, Davies was dismissed by his last employer for attending a demonstration – presumably a political one – and is now flying solo which, in effect, means no-one will employ him; the other has been granted a temporary licence for this particular jurisdiction, failed to win the republican nomination for a district seat, posted false video ‘evidence’ of ballot fraud which has thoroughly disproved.
More republican hot-shots.
A couple of attention seeking losers.
There must be some provision in US law to punish those bringing frivolous lawsuits.

There is no “special relationship” Its a post war delusion and no one in the states thinks anything of it.

Obama had to be reminded what it is supposed to be and then also used the phrase in relation to Germany

Of course there is a “special relationship”, it’s a secret abusive affair. The UK comes running at the US’s call to be **** and left to pay the costs. If the US wants to invade somewhere, or create unbalanced international pressure for their advantage and needs to have a gullible idiot support their case, we are their go to bitch.

Only catching up with Biden’s speech now. Strong stuff. Can we stop electing people just because they have amusing hair and are good at TV shows?

It’s bonkers. The Trumpists now literally believe that socialists believe Biden is actually Jesus, and that Obama is an angel who lives in the clouds along with drones and the Clintons.

Why do they believe that? Because Jacobin magazine’s new cover art satirises Biden as Jesus a saviour.

So the Trumpers are now high fiving each other doing monkeybackflips in disbelief. They don’t understand satire. Satire dies again. I only wonder at how many lives it has?

I've never, ever seen a legal filing remotely like this. The many defendants haven't filed a single thing; instead, this appears to be a response by the plaintiffs to mockery on https://t.co/pJuLM8DQGe. Also, counsel is tired and had a sewage backup. https://t.co/rb9pvhX1q1 pic.twitter.com/63hsfx0NpH

As they have named Joseph P Biden this lawsuit, presumably, refers to someone other than Joseph R Biden who was recently inaugurated as 46th President.
