Now let's see how well that "haunt his dreams" part is actually going to hold up. Or if if it all just goes back into the freezer like 2008. A trail of squandered hope and missing change brought us here in the first place.
That's what's so difficult about this. Even with this win, which is good, it's extremely difficult to be optimistic for the American prospect. The problems are so enormous, the trajectory has barely bent, and the final destination is still a fucking abyss.
Rewind to 2008. The caliber of the candidate. The legitimate hope. The clean mandate of power across the board. The state of the union. All the cards were better then! The hand that's about to be played is worse in all regards, thus are not the odds so much longer?
Anyway, This Is Clearly Not The Time To Be Critical. Just like the time leading up to the election wasn't, the time during it wasn't, the time after it wasn't. There's a magical five minutes happening on February 30th where this line on inquiry is welcome in polite company.
