Joe Biden struck the perfect tone in his brief remarks late last night. He called for patience during the process, but expressed confidence at the outcome:
Im here to tell you tonight, we believe were on track to win this election. We knew because of the unprecedented early vote and the mail-in vote it was going to take a while. Were going to have to be patient until the hard work of tallying the votes is finished. And it aint over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted.

We had hoped for a generational victory where Republicans up and down the ballot would be appropriately punished for their misdeeds. That did not happen. We have a lot more work to do. However, it appears that when it is all said and done Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States and Donald Trump will become the third President of the modern era to fail to win reelection.
Its not everything we wanted, but its a giant fucking deal.
We are winning. Act like it!
