For a couple of weeks before the 2028 election season starts.

the Senate investigation found she didn't take any Russian money

I keep saying that this is just the start, but also as a Texan what a hell of a start.

Reality check?
In reality I don’t think very many Blue voters have their expectations set too high, much less at 11. Most are just hoping the Dems will stop much of the bleeding with a stretch goal of pulling some of the glass out of the wounds. The haters are here saying there is no way Trump will actually get impeached and prosecuted but the blue voters are all say “yeah, we know”.

Kimmel did a man-on-the-street piece on Wednesday where they asked subjects if they intended to vote. Most had no idea the elections were over.

In my friend group the two people least interested in politics are a queer guy and a hispanic guy. The rest of us are straight white dudes. I am always baffled that they are not more invested as people who are more likely to be negatively impacted.

hold anti progressive, status quo democrats to account and root them out.

That's where the win will be. We have succeeded in a temporary reprieve.

Celebrate? yes! But only as long as we dont dust off our hand and sit down job well done.

As a Canadian, I'm seeing too many people thinking everything can now immediately go back to "normal". None of the actual work has started yet.

Yes, absolutely celebrate this, but if you act like things are "over" you need a reality check. Americans voted against Trump in 2020, and then elected him again after seeing what he did the first time.

So yes, this is absolutely a great first step, but it needs to be followed with criminals being held accountable and Americans not voting the other way again in 2 or 4 years. Considering Democratic leaders are already talking about not holding criminals accountable it seems prudent to splash some water on people acting like this is over and they can stop pushing.

I was spending my time volunteering for Democrats campaigns, and I’m still barely enthused with the result.

It’s a very small step forward in a possibility of a government that works for its people. But anyone smart on here knows that goes much more fine-grained than the color maps.

(Red is obvious. But blue? Blue is still many shades of gray)

I swear to god the double trauma of COVID and Trump during formative periods of some peoples’ lives made it pathologically impossible for them to take a win for even a day or two. That’s how you burn the fuck out. Don’t rest on your laurels, but making people feel like nothing is ever enough is how you get them to stop showing up.

And we'll be here again, because people are morons that don't learn from their mistakes.

I have seen almost non-stop celebration today, acting as if Trump was done, Fascism was over, White Supremacy was gone, and that all has returned to right and good in the world.

These elected officials arent even sworn in yet. and wont be sworn in.. till january, and idiots are celebrating like jobs done don't have to worry about it anymore.

We have a handful of new democrats elected. We have a ton of old democrats that have no compunctions about siding with Republicans and letting Republican shit go through in exchange for that AIPAC/Big Business money. Just cause a lot of the seating chart is blue doesnt mean blue business will be done, nor does it mean red business will be stopped.

This shit isnt the fuck over. The shit is only just about to begin to get started.
