obviously, last night was a blip on the radar compared to the scale of anti capitalism and anti imperialism. the "real" US left is still narrow, shallow, and timid. the fight to reverse the dire exacerbation of transphobia, islamophobia, and more is only at a new starting line 🧵

the political class and electorate of this new, progressive, nominally "socialist" movement is going to face its most important test yet now, and I don't think they're serious enough or prepared enough. my expectations are not high that much that ought to be done will be done

but hopefully, at the very least, as much pain as possible is spared for at least the next 4-6 years while the bigger wheel of history turns. oh, and we get to watch some of the most pathetic losers ever invented squirm for a while

Dems are favored to win FL-14, FL-22, and FL-25 right now which are all seats Trump won by double-digits which where redrawn to favor Republicans. They are close in many more that were redrawn to be much safer.

still a lot of senate tossups to come to be sure about those but the county-by-county global swing to blue seems so crazy I think republicans are going to lose house seats they never dreamed of
