This is how shocked I was on Election Night when results started coming in. When the graphic on screen said, re: the House of Reps., "Dems + 8" - I thought, "Cool. That sounds about right... adding eight seats to the Den majority."

@senatemajldr

It was a while before I realized ... no, that was the NEW MARGIN. YIKES!!!

That was ... eye-opening. D's must do better, ESPECIALLY IN 2022!

So when @senatemajldr stymies EVERYTHING Biden wants to do ("Grim Reaper") - how to we avoid getting the blame?

BE WHO WE ARE!

SUPPORT WHAT WE SUPPORT!

Be HONEST that we want to help people - by ensuring EVERYONE gets healthcare. No exception.

Be HONEST that we think people who make over $400k a year SHOULD be paying more in taxes.

BE HONEST that we think there is a better path for America.

And, as stated before, FIGHT LIKE HELL, every seat, every state, to make people's lives better. Which is the whole point of us having a "society" and a "government" to begin with.

1/ SO: Thoughts. I have a few.

This was a day. A glorious day.

I've been re-tweeting and sharing a lot of memes, and happiness, and joy videos today, because for the first time in four years, I see light on the horizon.

And yet...

2/ There remains in this country many huge, huge problems which we are going to have to deal with eventually. (How to pick, I know, but this one hits close to home for me.) And while it may seem a bit trivial compared to other issues, I think it's worthy of your attention.

3/ It involves the mainstream media, of which I was formerly a member, and now MORE THAN EVER MUST DO A BETTER JOB of setting up the issues that face us as a country.

For example:

Tonight, Biden gives us a great speech. There is dancing in the streets, literally.

This is the kind of ridiculousness with which up I will not put. Not defeatist - realistic. Calling it now: R’s will win both seats, by at least 10 points. Why? Racists vote. That’s the lesson from 2020. Racists fuckin’ vote. And there’s way more of them than we thought.

I mean, just so we're crystal clear: When @senatemajldr tells Georgians he's going to need back up to make sure the United States doesn't become an anarcho-syndicalist commune, his "South Will Rise Again" shtick is going to work.
