    Holy shit. What scares me is the knowledge the the US has been following UK politics in an eerily similar way. It was Brexit then Trump. It was Corbyn then Bernie. And now it looks like the conservatives will win back control in 2022 in the UK because the "left" party chose to sink itself rather than doing the right thing which was also popular.

    This spells bad times for the Democrats in the US, especially if they fail to kill the filibuster to pass major, one in a generation legislation like the election reform bill the House just passed.

      Dems are so fucked. This particular iteration of politics is well and truly over. The sooner the better because I'm just worried the Dems stick around like a billionaire octagenarian with their roach like resilience
