2020 Retrospective

[EJ24]

November 2020 - Establishment/normie Democrat, voted Biden in the primary and the general election.

- Biden has been exactly what I expected, maybe even slightly more progressive.

- Kamala Harris has been exactly what I expected. Never understood the hate for her. She motivates and excites the Democratic base, regardless of what people on Atlas try to say. Perfect choice for Joe, and yes she will be President eventually.

- Manchin has been exactly what I expected.

- Sinema has NOT been what I expected, and I'm really disappointed there.

- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is easily the smartest person in the Squad, politically speaking. I think she has a huge future in the party. She's built her brand, but also isn't completely immersed in woke Twitter world and she's warmed up to Pelosi and some of the other establishment figures in the party. This is something Bernie never learned how to do, and it's why he got toasted both times he ran. The fact that AOC is being called a "sell-out" by the likes of Jimmy Dore and Kyle Kulinski shows she's on the right track.

I guess in conclusion I'm not surprised by much of anything as of yet outside of AOC being much better than the 2018 version of herself, the Republican Party is also exactly what I thought it was this entire time.

Will vote Democratic in 2022/2024.
