The Answer to Trump’s Victory Is Radical Action https://theintercept.com/2024/11/06/trump-harris-election-results-action/

According to numbers so far, it seems around 3/4 of the United States population didn't vote for Donald Trump. Not enough people seem to want to talk about that.

@kevin That's, what, less than a quarter of the population?

"There is real shock among the Democrats in Washington, DC. So far, the most vocal commentary is from the progressive side of the Democratic party, saying 'we told you so.' The established Democratic party is probably not getting much sleep now, trying to figure out what they’re going to say. The polls have been clear: voters want change. When Harris was asked what she would do differently from Biden, she said she couldn’t really think of anything. But many people feel left behind by the neo-liberal US economy and they don’t like the foreign policy of the Biden administration. The question now is whether the Democratic party will look inwards and have a reckoning, or blame young people, poor people, Latinos, young men, you name it." https://aje.io/r2pf93?update=3304259

It's very sad but not entirely shocking that #RadioFreeFedi is closing down; the writing was on the wall for a while and the folks behind it were overwhelmed. I'm hoping they will take care and take pride in the immense achievement it was, with an absolutely amazing run. But still, I'm also realising, "Shit, with no 'comfy channel' from Radio Free Fedi, what the hell am I going to be woken up to by my RadioDroid alarm in the morning?!" I don't want to go back to grim monotonous standard phone alarms!" Radio Free Fedi ruined me for that (and I'm grateful!)
