It was the best of times, it's was the worst of times. |
|
We had two candidates who were breaking all the barriers. For the first time in our lives we had a woman and a man who was not white.
We were inspired and saw the promise of a new sunrise.
Not only were we going to push back against the government that we did not elect, we were going to come back with something completely different.
We were inspired and saw the promise of a new sunrise.
Our two candidates brought out new voters, old voters, poor voters, previously apathetic voters. They were both powerful forces for change.
The populace was forced to talk about things previously taboo. Race, gender, age, sexuality, religion, past, associations, partners.
Hard conversations took place and cobwebs were swept away.
This may be one of the most difficult elections of our lifetime, but it may be one of the most profound.
Nothing that is worth it comes easily.

That because there was a PA primary, we are in much better shape in the GE, no matter who the nominee is.
All I ask is that they don't try to destroy each other, that's when I get pissed.
But the fact that there was a huge PA primary tonight, and over 2.3 million Democrats came out to vote is just plain awesome!
