Imagine the shape our country would be in now if we had not had our "Blue Wave" in 2018.

Now, imagine how different things would be if we had also won the Senate.

Indeed, "elections have consequences" and "every vote is important".

Vote. Vote. Vote.

I couldn't find anything short on YouTube but it's basically the first few seconds of this clip (except I was watching MSNBC):

It was the BEST FEELING! Especially after James Carville had done his gloom-and-doom projection earlier that night. It really felt for a while like 2016 all over again, and then

I just watched a little more--I'd forgotten how bad it had been before--that Adam Schiff replaced Devin Nunes and Elijah Cummings replaced Trey Gowdy. OMG.
