This will be a long thread. I've been taking in last night's vote returns, and people's comments and responses to it, and I've got some things to get off my chest. My friends on the left, after last night, I'm concerned about your spirits. Our spirits. We gotta set 'em right. Last night was tough. I know it hurt. You've dedicated your mind, body and soul to enacting economic justice, racial justice, environmental justice in substantive ways and these votes are an obstacle. You're angry. They feel like a rejection, but I'm not sure that's what's true.
