13. It's a start and something to build off

Nov 5

What a great night and an interruption to the constant doom the last year has been.

What last night proved is that Dems are a good investment for 2026. We don't live in a dictatorship yet and activists and donors are going to be energized to make sure we don't get there in 2026.

I think last night will end the shutdown as the right will pull back some from the hardline. And I think it will start to show some cracks in the Trump coalition as these guys know they're going to be voted out in 12 months.

I am still just enjoying the sweep, really needed something good that allows all good Americans a chance to breath and have some hope that the democracy can be saved.
