So with the Senate being tied, we still get to claim majority because we have the tiebreaker vote? There's no co-leaders in the Senate? I want to make sure I can confidently call Mitch minority leader. They'll work out some sort of leadership sharing agreement like Tom Daschle did

My Aunt made a comment about how if the dems take over, she will need to move to Belize. I may have told her to enjoy her free healthcare and the Queen. She replied, but I can’t be bothered to add any further distractions. She really should be packing. To be fair, Belize is beautiful!

I want to make sure I can confidently call Mitch minority leader. Schumer was asked if they would be co-chairs, like I guess has been done in the past, and he said he looks forward to talking to McConnell, but his eyes were laughing.

Since we are sharing texts from our moms this morning...my mom’s was
“Mitchie is gone! The senate will flip. Happy days.”

If he deserves much credit at all (which I doubt) “single handedly” seems...deeply disrespectful to all the organizers and voters who invested much much more in this race then Sanders.

I came around on Bernie during the primaries and I think he did a GREAT job supporting Biden, but I will never come around on his supporters. None of those assholes (speaking to his fervent Twitter audience, Chapo assholes, etc) did a damn thing to GOTV in Georgia. They root for Dems to lose. Fuck them.

This has been since waking up this morning I was listening to CNN while driving this morning, and kept spontaneously laughing, like full on evil witch cackle, when GOP pundits were talking about what went wrong. Theme for the day: BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They're just the MAGA chuds of the left. And lol that 2k was his idea or championed cause. Yes he supported it, but I do believe it was one of the squad that came up with it. (I could be wrong, about who, but I'm pretty sure it was a joint effort)

Apparently we're the bad people because a post celebrating Stacy is an explicit insult to all the other Black women who worked hard. I will bet real American money that is not what she meant with her first comment. I have seen black people posting about white liberals fetishizing her makes them uncomfortable a la the "magical negro" trope. And I respect that. It was a lot of other work on the parts of a lot of black organizers. Clearly, I don't know about the intent of the post you're referencing tho.

I think there's a difference (when coming from white people anyway) between "white people ignoring other people and being obsessed with Stacy is wrong," and "Stacy gets too much credit." The former is calling out a valid problem, the latter diminishes Stacy's impact and hard work. It's definitely the phrasing "*too much credit* for *everything*" that is striking all the wrong chords, I think. No one said she is getting *all* the credit and she's the only one who did *everything*.

I think it’s lame that people always shut down the celebratory comments given to women - more so if it’s a Black woman. I’m like duh many people were behind all this. I recognize all that. I see it. But it doesn’t take away from the monumental leadership Stacy showed throughout all this. I only imagine all the kids seeing themselves through her. Imagine growing up and only seeing white dudes. Especially with this last administration. Then you see Stacy and all her talents and success. Hell no, we don’t shrink her just so others don’t feel threatened by that. It’s like, why are we even centering Bernie right now? He has no place or credit in this.
