Not a punching bag? Where the heck did that come from? No offense was meant.
You seem like you're unloading some kind of feelings about how people treat incidents of racism on me, to the point you're talking about all these other people, different scenarios, and asking me if we should *fire* Trudeau???
Who the fuck honestly believes this?
I don't but, I fear with all the jubilation going on, I feel like people lost sight of the bigger problems.
They haven't lost sight of bigger problems, and they don't think Biden is super jesus come to save humanity. What they DO currently think, is that they are not going to have to live in fear of a petty, vindictive, insecure tyrant, deploying US forces for a photo op, vocally approving of a planned kidnapping of a duly elected government official, trying to suggest what they were doing maybe wasn't illegal, undoing laws to protect entire groups of the country that the above mentioned tyrant didn't like for no reason other than he's a petty fuck. And a laundry list of other things that he's done to clearly show the fact that he genuinely doesn't care about anyone but himself. They are JUBILANT to know that this current state of fear and uncertainty, on whether or not a group of assholes, thinking the president has given them the green light to act as they see fit, just start assaulting them for being a dirty liberal and/or LGBTQ, will end soon, within just a few months. Because you know, we're not actually americans in their eyes, so we're not worthy of protection by US law.
Realistically, while I agree people don't actually see Biden as some super jesus, I'm not confident that people won't be complacent and not just trust in Biden and the Democractic party. I think for many people it will be that simple and they won't consider trying to push Biden to do things that need to be done to go further on Medicare and climate change and environmental issues and handling foreign policy better. He'll be better than Trump on those, but idt he's good enough and idt people will necessarily push him to be.
So nobody has any right to be happy about anything until ALL of the world's ills are solved? Fuck I'm glad I don't see the world as you do.
I am not taking away your right to be happy and be cynical like me.
Not a completely accurate assessment. Look at the language I used.
Most of the language I've used the royal 'we' (not you), and 'I' pertaining to myself, of course. There wasn't an occurrence where I said "And it seems like you, Secondhand Revenant, should be on the side of firing Trudeau because he's not woke enough" or however Cancel language is supposed to sound.
You didn't just express your opinion though, you insulted anyone daring to be more optimistic than you, and mocked them for being happy about something. That's not an opinion, that's open disdain for other people. I mean the phrasing of your comment is so openly dismissive it's laughable. Now I agree I probably agree with your opinions on things not being good right now in the world. They're not, but nobody can wave a wand and fix everything. All we can do is work incrementally to improve and do damage control/restoration. I'd love for us to get motivated as a planet and fix our own shit, but that is beyond the scope of even the POTUS. But one thing that will at least not make things AS worse, is the fact that trump will be leaving office soon. You pick your battles in this world. Biden might not be great, but he's the less shitty option of the two we had in front of us. Hopefully he will be able to get some positive things done.
Well now I feel shitty that I have insulted people...

Fucking yikes. I didn't have like *high* hopes, more feelings of things not falling as rapidly, but that's really managed to feel like an unexpected slap in the faceCindy McCain when asked about joining Biden Cabinet: ‘There is a role for Republicans’
Cindy McCain said Monday that Democratic President-elect Joe Biden is considering roles for Republicans in his administration.Asked by “The View” co-host Ana Navarro-Cardenas if she would consider …
It'll be a Republican presidency.
I would say the Dems weaponised the virus. The Left just wants the health care to make sure that if the get it they wont 1. Die due to poor funding. 2. Go bankrupt 3. Lose their jobs because they got sick. 4. Some support while they are sick. 5. Some mitigations that can help stop the spread so they don't have to choose between making others sick to pay for their rent or go to hospital and potentially becoming homeless
