to participate, we are all screwed.

The worst part of it was we lost everything. The loss of the Senate means there is very little we can do. We are completely dependent upon the republicans in Congress, and that is not a good position to be in.

Every Democrat running for Senate in a swing state lost to the establishment, incumbent, republican.

That is why the 2016 Senate race was so important.

Even if by some miracle we did regain control of the Senate, the damage that will be done in the next two years could take decades to undo
