All y’all on here throwing a tantrum because you had apparently not done your own research about what was possible in this midterm can shut the hell up. Sleep on it and grow. You’re an adult. This was never going to be some fantasy where dems take the house and the senate. NO ONE PROMISED YOU THAT. A fuckton of harm has been done while people sat by ignoring the issue and one night isn’t going to be able to fix it. We have to chip away at the decay and we’ve done it in a huge way today.
Yet again, you deciding to give up on the system does nothing but ensure that it goes back to being worse after this. If you want things to change, keep voting, volunteer, help counter rigged districts, make phone calls etc. it was never going to be as easy as one time voting. We have to fight to matter in a world where power is only distributed willingly to the 1%. Don’t give up, get mad and regroup for the next round!!!
One of the best comments I saw on my dash in the last couple of days: this is not a sprint, it’s a relay marathon.
This was the first step. A step in the right direction, but only a step. Time to take the next one.
