For me, it was seeing the Third Precinct of the Minneapolis police department engulfed in flames….

Of course, it was a chud FBI informant who did it… but for that moment, I had some hope.

Then Obama told some NBA players to get back on the court…

    If we're excluding childhood naivete (which we should be), I'd say right after the 2020 Nevada Caucuses. It really seemed like Bernie was going to win. I knew Bernie wasn't really socialist even then, but it really seemed like we might be able to move the needle politically, in a way that would have had real impact for working-class Americans.

    Then came the weekend before Super Tuesday, of course.

      The weekend Klobuchar, Buttigeug and Harris all dropped out, people on Bernie reddit were celebrating beating all them out, and I just remember saying, no, this is bad. This clears the way for Joe to win by consolidating all the boomer/libdem votes.

      Worst I've ever felt being right.
