7. my post-election thoughts were similar
I felt like America had just hit a huge iceberg. If the Titanic is going down might as well party on the deck. What else is there to do?

Yes, I know, keep fighting, but it is very hard to get motivated when we just lost a fight that should have been so easy. How could we have lost to that guy? How can an incumbent ever be defeated in Congress?

Our two primary weapons were information and the vote. They did not work, or they were rendered useless by BBV or the propaganda machine known as the SCLM.

It is like Pink Floyd said: "When they've given their all, some stagger, and fall. After all, it's not easy, banging your head against some mad bugger's wall."

Take a standing eight count, take a year off, if needed, but keep in touch. Sisyphus deserves a coffee break.
