Have you considered that you might not be getting a very representative view of what's going on from those accounts?

There is nothing going on, i just love seeing liberal meltdowns, just funny how random people starting to election deny on the other side (which i predicted long before). You don't think that on January 6th those lunatics will try to prevent certification in congress?

Kari Lake was kicked out everywhere she ran, And it's funny that you're talking about election denying after trump won, doing a bit of election denying ourselves are we?

 

 

I'm talking about how his denying the loss in 2020 fueled this. Pretty sure that you know that very well (it's just about half an hour since you replied to me saying that people on both sides claiming the other one cheated are fools)

I don't doubt that stupidity after 2020 fueled this, not saying people were right, for a while i was part of those people but then i stopped and thought about everything and realized that it's just dumb, Biden did win and that was that (Actually happy that it happened, based on what's about to happen)

 

And yes i know that people think that some senate races were "stolen" or some house races, doesn't mean that they were (kinda glad Lake lost, she's a lunatic, Arizona should get someone much better for the next governor and senate race)

I do not. I have no clue what part of the left you're looking at right now, but as someone who leans left I don't recognize anybody I know in what you're saying.

 

People are very much in wound licking and internal recrimination mode, there is no apetite to fight at the moment, and there likely won't until Trump oversteps on something (which every president inevitably does).

 

The mood on the left is very, very different than it was in 2016 and for some reason it doesn't seem like the right is picking up on it at all.

 

There is genuinely not a lot of crying is goign on this time, sorry to dissapoint. You can obviously find it if you want, bit country and whatnot, but if you're trying to get a pulse on how people on the left are feeling chasing the few people who are crying isn't going to help you.

Maybe it's on the normal left, mostly those "influencers" who go on tiktok and share their "amazing" life are woke gen z who often listen to media like gospel and when Rachel Maddow tells them that orange hitler won, it's time to lose their shit, shave their head and move to Canada

Really? want a link to about a million tiktok videos where those lunatics say trump cheated? i have a feeling it will not end there

 

People saying Trump didn't actually win these elections are just as annoying and dumb as the people who said Trump actually won the 2020 elections, yes, we agree on that. I still have hope this time it won't turn into an attempted coup, though.

This reminds me that I've actually not heard anything from Rachelle Maddow since she made a podcast series about Spiro Agnew last year. I've actualy not even heard what her take on the election is.

 

Millenial and Gen Z liberals are pretty disconnected from what goes on on cable news tbh. Of all the mainstream media figures John Oliver probably has the best pulse on what the left of center Millenials think and feel, based on my experience with a *lot* of left leaning Millenials (I don't know all that many Gen Zers persoanlly so less comfortable commenting on them).

Unrelated, but I don't feel all that bad about the extend to which I predicted this election wrong.

 

It turns out I live and vote in the only state that went more for Harris than for Biden. So I did, in fact, have a pretty good pulse on the public opinion in my state. It's just that Washington state was moving one way and the rest of the country was moving the opposite direction.

Ah you're from Washington? Explain this
