Sometimes I hate being right. After the Democratic establishment buried Sanders this summer, I was among those progressives who said running essentially Hillary 2.0 experiment is going to ensure us 4 more years of Trump. I'm not gloating, I'm just sad… Now I'm just waiting for how they'll spin it as Sanders' fault.

(Sure, I'm still going to hope till the end. But numbers are numbers.)

Looks like we've been spared the worst, and I'm happy to be wrong on that small point. Now we just need to somehow wrap our heads around voting for politicians effecting real change so that people lives become better and we avoid repeating 4-year courses of shock therapy.

@isagalaev I don't know about that... The fight isn't over yet and I'm hearing a lot of other stuff is going on. On top of that Google is reporting new changes

@lucifargundam nah, it's over. Biden's already ahead in Pennsylvania, and all the outstanding votes are mail-ins, which are *heavily* blue (been over 70% blue so far). So there's no way for Trump to retake PA. It is also likely Biden would retain both NV and AZ, given the dynamics there. GA is going to be recounted, but it doesn't matter at this point.

I don't particularly like 538, but their reporting is top-notch on these points: fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/
