PLUS: Trump voters' daddy issues are still on display, this time via the Man Shed facebook page AND: Staten Island Ferry workers' contract win + backpay enrages New York Post, commenters, twitter hashtag lawyers.

It's so Joe-ver. Sorry for the late release folks. Busy week. We're the aftermath of Democrats' disastrous presidential campaign and faced with another Trump presidency We review the Democratic party's strategy and figure out which scapegoat will allow us to learn nothing from this historic event. Were Democrats too nice to latinos? Did they not sufficiently support Israel? Did they not gestate enough republican never-Trumper egg sacs? What is going on?? Also: The voting public's desire for "change" from a two-party system that only moves rightward, hemorrhaging working class voters but still winning the union vote, and a Democrat who helped Biden screw up the Afghanistan withdrawal figures out the real problem: trans kids on sports teams.
