Jesus went to hell. That’s actual Christian doctrine. It’s called the Harrowing of Hell. 1Peter 4:6 and Ephesians 4:9 make direct reference to it.

The feeling is mutual.

You forgot the quotes. “Power.” She’ll be a progressive member of the minority party under a fascist regime who has already signaled a complete lack of care for its political adversaries.

I’d argue that the two women are not far removed from one enother in the amount of power they will wield.

Not a Democrat, just someone who understands that without unity during this election, we were always going to get this result.

There were two candidates who could win. I didn’t like either of them. That doesn’t mean one wasn’t closer to what I’d like to see for this country.

Now we have what we have.

Which is it? There are so, so many progressives who can effect change out there, or most everyone to the left of the Dems conformed but it wasn’t enough?

Road map for me how she will be of any positive effect once the new administration takes power.

Sounds like anyone and everyone who couldn’t figure out that we weren’t beating fascism unless we stuck together really fucked up. Now we get to live with it.

What we get to accept now is GOP control of the executive, judicial, and both chambers of the legislative.

Moot point. The opportunity has passed.

Pyrrhic victory. She has her seat, but will likely have no ability to influence any positive change. A unified front was needed, a unified front did not emerge.

There was no “winning” divided. Now we all lose together.

I almost feel like I’m being contrarian by asking this, though it isn’t my intent: your alternatives sound great at first blush, but how do you intend that those alternatives are enforced? Does that lead into your estimated >1% of offenders?

Is that supposed to be the strange insult?

Damn, did I touch a nerve?

Sounds like a case of the crayon-eater calling the mouth-breather stupid…

You mean the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?

So when Lord Carnarvon sent Howard Carter into the Valley of the Kings with his team…

…that was the Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

You’d need to limit the capacity to vote on credibility to people who are members of the community. If you haven’t joined, you can’t make a judgment about what is or isn’t a good faith post, but your own post can be voted by members. Rather than being attached to just the user, it would probably be better if it were referenced to the user per community. Even so, it’s essentially karma, and could probably be gamed.

Otherwise, you’ve just reinvented upvotes.

Do you often look out your window and see everything you dream about and wish you had?
