      I thought calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage was the Trump campaign’s final death rattle.

      I thought Roe v Wade would move the needle but apparently immigration is more important

      I made the mistake of thinking we had it when we heard him say he can grab them by the pussy so this one didn’t get me.

        As a European I thought there is no way Americans are stupid enough to reelect someone who openly supported overthrowing the government the past time.

        Had I said it out loud I would have known trump would get reelected, because americans are that stupid.

          As a European, we shouldn’t be so quick to judge, we are only a few years behind them, and who is the greater fool, the fool or the one who follows the fool?

    Probably the biggest contributing factor is that the Democrats aren’t really anything to get excited about, like nobody’s going “YEAH! SOMEBODY TO GO PLAY DRAG ASS FOR 4 YEARS AND STILL GET OPPOSITION!” It’s just better than having some more blatant corporatist fuck actively make things worse, which is unfortunately where we’ve ended up.

    This more or less captures the spirit of the last 100 days, yup. Maybe I should watch some Bojack, it’s certainly more lighthearted than this political season has been. Ugh

    Same… As soon as the polls were showing how close it was I knew we were going to lose all of the swing states… We never learned our lesson over the last 10 years… Every poll Trump is involved in the polls underestimate him by a lot… +1 Harris, +3 Harris, whatever, is really +4 Trump.

      Problem is they think the undecideds are actually undecided rather than ashamed of what they’re about to do.

      Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
      Everybody knows the war is over
      And everybody knows the good guys lost
      Everybody knows the fight was fixed
      The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
      That’s how it goes
      And everybody knows

      Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
      Everybody knows the captain lied
      Everybody got this broken feeling
      Like their father or their dog just died

      It’s wild to me that Democrats thought Hillary Clinton 2.0 was a good idea. They even fucked up the primaries like in 2016 as well.

            Like how granular do we want to get? There was no time for primaries with finding multiple candidates who have time to prepare a platform based on new pollng information (also takes time) on what policies were popular and battling it out for a month which would have cut into campaigning time.

      Easily one of my favorite shows, but I still upvoted you. Rock your own opinion.

      I rewatch every time my depression flares up, and I’m even more depressed by the end. And I hate Bojack more each time instead of instinctively siding with him. But I come out the other side feeling a little lighter, almost like having a good cry from a sad movie.

        more power to you if you like it, but I don’t like the way it romanticizes depression / people with depression. I get that that may have been the point (after S1, when they gave up on trying to make a comedy show), but I think that show set back my recovery from depression a lot.
