•STOP blaming the 2016 Cubs

•START appreciating that the Rays have now died for our sins in 2008, 2020, and 2026

for context on Mississippi: Colom's vote margin, which is still growing, is already more than twice the margin of Maggie Hassan's 2016 defeat of Kelly Ayotte and more than eight times the margin of Al Franken's 2008 defeat of Norm Coleman
so it will look even more ridiculous because fighting over a few hundred votes is, well, an order of magnitude less silly than a few thousand votes

These are not centrists remembering 1994, but angry liberals remembering 2008 and 2016

Watergate…no accountability or new preventative measures.

2008 global financial crisis caused by US bank toxic mortgages etc…no accountability or new preventative measures.

Trump 2016 corruption…no accountability or new preventative measures.

Trump 2026…Blue Tsunami results in…

See the problem?
Accountability isn’t “getting even.” Without REAL accountability and system change, the entire world knows that the United States will just do it again.

And again.

And again.

The country will literally never be trusted again.

Even WITH accountability, trust will take a LONG time to be rebuilt.
"The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.

like Hillary definitely shouldn’t have been allowed to run in 2016 after royally eating shit in 2008, and this rule would’ve saved us from Biden too

Den største risiko pt er at vores europæiske ledere tror at vi nu er tilbage til 2008-2016
Miller in the chief of staff chair is what travels. He has argued for years that Kyiv should fold, and that view now sits one door from the Oval. Staffing is policy, and Europe should read the clock as moving faster.
Just put together this piece on the (freaking dark) appointment of Stephen Miller as Trump's Chief of Staff. Miller is best known for his anti-immigrant pose, but he is violently against supporting Ukraine and parrots Kremlin talking points. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-is-g...

The distance between 1998 and 2008? Unfathomable.

The distance between 2016 and today? Mere seconds.

I don’t understand were these people in a coma from 2008-2016? Because that’s what they all said would happen when Obama won and then, notably, it did not because it’s insane

2002: Do no evil
2008: TRY to do no evil
2016: What is evil, anyway
2026: Fuck it, we're doing five evils a day

I remember how I felt in 2008 and I remember what happened in 2016, but this still feels pretty damn good.

in the history of modern exit polling, which began in 1972, this is the first time the Democratic Party secured a majority of the votes from white women.

didn't happen in the Democratic victories of 1976, 1992, 1996, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2018, or 2020, or Hillary in 2016 either.
white women finally showed up for Democrats, 52-46.

after 30 years of voting for the Republican Party in House Elections and for President, this is the first time white women have favored the Democratic Party nationally since they supported Bill Clinton 48-43 in 1996.

The pic from 2012 is actually from 2008, the first time I ever used a tablet. I actually didn't own a tablet until 2013.

Nothing for 2016, 2018, and 2019, either because I didn't draw anything or I lost it when my computer crashed in 2023 🥲

The people who said to fight the GOP tooth and nail and not be accommodationists were right in 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, 2020, 2024, and this year.

Maybe now the Democrats can start listening to them instead of fighting them.

After all, the gains in 2006 and 2008 led to 2016 and 2024.

I mean Louisiana had a Dem governor from 2016 to 2024 and 2004 to 2008 so you'd think there would be a decent chance for Dems there.

can we do a proper post mortem on 2008-2016 or are you guys still need your emotional support expresident
one of the biggest mistakes in Obama's first term was the preemptive decision not to hold the Bush administration accountable—if Dems do that again they will put the country in an even worse position than the last decade
