I sure hope we are crying happy tears tomorrow

I do feel like the SNL ad: enthusiastic and nervous.

We went through a terrible shock two years ago (a lasting horror).

I am on edge and can't wait until we know how it turns out.


I'm all mixed up.

I've been walking around with a perpetual lump in my throat for two years.

It helped when I was phone banking & canvassing. I was in action.

Yes I voted in 2016 and we lost. However, this year I sent money to candidates throughout the nation. I made sure my Democratic family and friends voted this year. I helped bring people to the Beto event in my little County of Texas. I became active in my local Democratic club. Bottom line, I hope a big group of progressives upped their game this year. I truly believe the other side's numbers will remain. The question: Did we do enough to bring in a true "blue wave"? Damn I hope so.

So, now that you pointed that out about people participating more, you bring me more hope tonight. Thanks!

And I am sure some will be re-counts. I don't plan on staying up late tomorrow.
