@Pat @rataflechera @Bertrecords I live in the U.S. too and I don’t watch television. I kind of expected Joe Biden to only have 2 years to pass whatever laws he had in mind. He loses one house and no law gets passed.
I went to bed around 12 Eastern time. I think I’m just in a sports-watching mood? I don’t think the country is as divided as the media makes us believe. But Republican politicians are absolute nut jobs

I really want a "boost, but with an added CW" button. Which, I know, is a feature that's been widely wished for and is I think hard to actually design. But I still want it! :)
@christor @scottjshapiro principle of rationalizing untenable legal opinions and steamrolling unpopular decisions with zero considerations for political backlash?
USpol: midterms, Dems
Huh Dems outperformed expectations amazing
@rataflechera @Pat @Bertrecords I’m quite calm as well. Budget bills might be a pain if republicans hold both housss tho

I just saw there's an option to always show toots marked with content warnings. As someone not dealing with trauma, and who's interested in things that are often hidden by hind CWs, this is great!
(To be clear, I'm not opposed to CW and will try to remember to use them myself. But lots of things I'm interested in, such as politics, get hidden and to have them revealed automatically is convenient.)

Fair warning fellow tuskers, I do occasionally let out a rude word.
But in my defence, it makes the world a better place.
Consider yourselves warned.
@Joecephus ? He was a globalist neoliberal corporate democrat. So is Hillary Clinton. Progressives aren’t nut jobs
@luckyduck couldn’t care less about Florida tbh. It’ll be underwater by 2050
@rataflechera well, you can safely assume GOP has the House already
@rataflechera tomorrow morning. Get some sleep
USpol: NY governor
@nytimes has been sounding the alarm on the NY gubernatorial race as if Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate, has a chance of winning LOL. Nice try
USpol: Georgia
Lmao can’t believe Herschel Walker is winning. Georgian Republicans really have no dignity, do they?
I can already hear American democracy wilting
