I remember when my Dad told me that Joe Biden dropped out. My first words were, "The Democrats just made a huge mistake!"

But my Dad was hopeful since donations were huge.

But my gut knew from that moment we were doomed, even as I prayed I was wrong.

So that's it? Trump's actually won? 

Man... I honestly don't know what I'm going to do if I end up losing my Social Security and Medicare. I have issues with anxiety and depression and I can't work and I'm also disabled. If things get really bad there's a good possibility that I probably won't be living for too much longer. I know my parents won't and they're already getting on in years.

It's a damn shame that too many of my fellow white males can't except women or people of color in positions of power. 

I don't think Biden would have won either.  Trump has a unique appeal to a certain segment of the population. 

I hope we still have a democracy in 4 years.

Well, I hope the Hispanic vote consoles them when the very POS they voted for gets ready to deport them. Because they are not lily-white, so Donnie has no use for them.

I would not have voted for his ass, since he is a bonafide fúcking lunatic, but I wonder - had Worm Brain been the Dem nominee - if he would have actually won with this idiot electorate?

There have been a number of articles on this since 2020, mainly speaking of how he appeals to their machismo and many think of themselves as white, so they won't be affected by deportations. I would guess Stephen Miller wants many of them out of this country, but even if that starts happening, I am not sure he will lose support. He is teflon. The only question is if the hatemongers bankrolling him want to put the brakes on so they can win when he's gone or if they know they can just make sure we never have real elections again.

Of course, articles aren't enough - I agree a postmortem is needed. A complete upheaval of the leadership and structure of the party is long overdue. 

I think back to 2012 when Republicans decided to completely ignore their postmortem and won. But Republicans always get what they want.

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
