Ok...so we lost a few and won a few
Overall, I think we did pretty well considering that the Republicans have turned gerrymandering and vote suppression into an art form.
We have two years to expose them for their corruption.
In Florida we have over a million people who have had their right to vote restored.
My district is now represented by a Democrat.
Michigan and Kansas voters stuck their middle finger in the air towards the crooks and voted to restore decency to their Governors mansions.
Beto inspired us all.
Yes, I'm disappointed we didn't do better but we started to reverse our fortunes today.
