Heartfelt congratulations.
Has it really been 4 years of fucking bullshit?

Guys, are we sure there’s no longer a path for Bernie Sanders to become President? Has anyone thought about that?
Of course, now that Biden has won, CNN has He Who May Not Be Named on, carefully explaining to us that Joe can get cooperation from Republicans by becoming a Republican and helping Republicans enact Republican policies. But no fucking socialism!
Sigh.
Congratulations everyone! Such an overwhelming feeling of relief.
BTW, kudos to Greg Schultz and Anita Dunn, Joe Biden’s first campaign managers.
They were good, but not up for a national presidential campaign once he won the primaries.
SUPER congratulations to Jen O’Malley Dillon. Dillon has been kind of an unheralded data genius (and I have to think a lot of the unheralded part comes from the fact that she’s a woman building huge computer databases and algorithms and coding them herself into proprietary campaign software). She took over as campaign manager, and took the ship through some troubled seas.

Ok, screw you, Fred. You still went with Donnie over 80% of the time. Only 4% less than Ricky Gaetz. Your record shouldn’t be ignored.

Reaction is pouring in from around the world. The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, tweeted: “Welcome back America!”

Amazing that there are still Trump flags out there. It’s like they defined their lives as Trump supporters. They have nothing else.
As a side note, a friend of the wife here is crying hysterically. I have zero sympathy.

Maybe worth noting that Democrats are 3-0 this century when they have a Black person on the ticket, and 0-3 when they don’t.
Love the 2 dozen or so police officers protecting the 3 Trump supporters.
