Alright, so join the Democratic party, since you don't have much else as an alternative, and make it turn left.

While I am extremely disappointed in the Trump win, I actually am sort of proud of America honestly. Establishment, markets, wallstreet, and all the other monied interests were rooting for a Clinton win. She outspent him 15 to 1. And that didn't happen.

I'll never again think that the people don't truly hold the power in America. You can't buy an election.

I just want somebody to tell me things will be okay. Failing that, what we can do to make them okay. But, if it's too early for this, I understand.

All I can do is hope, for now. But I am far from powerless, as are the rest of us. I'll do my part to make things better, to make us great, not just our country.

Progressivism hasn't lost yet. We can still keep things rolling. I just don't know how.

When you try to defeat an extremist by adopting his extremism you come off as inauthentic, and alienate those who hate the extremist. So you lose, and should. Do any of us want the Dems waking from this thinking Islamaphobia is alright, or demonizing BLM is good? Or perhapse sexism is acceptable?
