Democratic Officials: looks like you're in.
Congratulations.
Now, I'm going to need you to shit or get off the pot.
Legalize abortion. Stop bombing Iran and get us the hell out of Israel. Close our fucking concentration camps and unlisted interrogation sites. Protect trans children. Pump the Supreme Court and institute term limits. Bar the death penalty.
Build a robust system so another Trump couldn't succeed at burning us down from inside the house.

Signs of a strong immune system in the US
@JulianOliver nevertheless there is no "left" in the US. Just 50 shades of conservative.

@utopiah if there's nothing left, the attackers attack themselves? 😅
@lvk Ah, I admit I didn't think about that but I would assume they are both low value targets and too knowledgeable to be preys.

programmers have some kind of quasi-religious penance complex around the idea of professional engineering licensure and it's exhausting
most of the devices you encounter at the daily basis were designed by people holding zero licenses. the people who've made your phone, your laptop, your charger, your fridge, your dishwasher, your drill, your lightbulbs, (insert device here) are engineers. or at least, nobody is going around claiming that electrical/electronical engineering is "not real engineering". yet they have no iron ring, are not personally liable for faults, and are not required by the state to hold any qualifications whatsoever (the devices are certified—usually self-certified at that—the people who made them are not)
the situation that civil engineers and boilermakers have is an exception, not the rule. if you get it into your head that you are a failure for not holding up to a standard that nobody in comparable situations in other fields will even think of applying, you don't need a license, you need therapy

I’m looking forward to being reminded daily that a goodly percentage of congresspeople are lawyers, and I am ready for receipts and enforcement. There’s more than enough to occupy the news every day for the next two years.
Waiting for the New York Times' sure-to-come second day headline:
"Analysis: Why the elections were actually bad for the Democrats"
@dangillmor I do miss the days when journalism was about reporting facts and not about touting an opinion.
