While we all wish we could have done better in a few races, I am very thankful that we won the

Presidency, maintain control of the a house, flipped two Senate seats, re-elected the Democratic Governor in North Carolina, and have a fighting chance in the Georgia runoffs to get control of the Senate

Because we have control of the House, the republicans who had previously threatened the moment Joe Biden takes office they would impeach, that won’t happen

My rube state surprisingly went for Biden, beat Handel again, and turned another Congressional District Blue. Good all around.

President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris won in every way: the EC, the popular vote by over 5 million votes, 50.8% of the vote and growing and all this against an incumbent which is huge.

Democrats still hold the majority in the House and the Senate control is still undecided.

To me this should be considered an historic victory and I believe over time it will be.

The f*****g nerve it takes to not only benefit from an already imbalanced system but to then gut the Voting Rights Act, engage in unprecedented gerrymandering, remove voting machines to cause hours-long lines, pass voter ID laws, cripple the USPS & then claim YOU'VE been cheated.
