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."
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.
Does that mean we should give up on Georgia Senate? HELL NO!

We fight. We fight, we fight, we fight.

But this will be a tough one.
