Bwahaha. We let that guy win on purpose. We are lulling the right wingers into a false sense of security, now that they are all set to be in control in all the rooms where decisions are being made for at least the next four years. This was a calculated result in protest of the complacency of the democratic party, very much intented to scare the shit out of them and to spur them to grassroots and legislative action for certain key dealbreaking issues, like our foreign policy decisions on one specific active genocide with decades of historical context that we only started caring about last year (not any of the other genocides!!! just that one✌🏽)
We’re trying to encourage you towards long term helpful action and policy making which, you know, we hope is still actually possible! Now that they have put a seasoned madman with a grudge in control of the executive branch, stacked the supreme court of the united states, flipped the senate in their favor, and uhhhh last I checked probably set us up with a deadlocked house of representatives.
Actually, the left totatally does have omnipotent control. Which we could totally have used. So easily. If we’d wanted to. Because the only way for Republicans to stay in power is via voter suppression. But we didn’t do that because we’re cleverer and more righteous and better people than you.
So yeah we are playing a long and dangerous game which will absolutely have consequences for people we love in the short and long term, and we really don’t care, because we can justify this to ourselves.
Also we would rather have a deranged rapist with access to the nuclear launch codes than a woman of color trying to compromise her way into a position of power. Because that isn’t a thing that matters!

Leftists who didn’t care to vote, this is what I think I am hearing you say.
