Here's where we are:
1. Local elections officials are taking the time necessary to make sure every eligible vote is counted.
2. Trump is losing and trying to crown himself the winner.
3. Voters choose the future. We fought for fairer elections and its working.
4. We expected all of this.
5. Now comes the hard part: Wait and dont panic.
6. We can see the path to victory running from north to south.
Weve got this, yall! #Election2020

Barbara Jordan. What a giant. I wish she were still with us.

(28,876 posts)I was just a couple of years out of college when I saw her
speak at Miller Outdoor Theater and got to vote for her.
I also taught at the school she attended in Houston. The
older teachers told some great stories about her. She was
quite a legend.
And don't even get me started on her great questioning in
the Watergate hearings.

I just cannot believe we did not take the senate, nor that the Biden vote is so close, even with more votes to count.

(6,849 posts)Delivering Georgia? Piece of cake. Restoring respect for US on the world stage? Leave it to the next Secretary of State, who has the same name as Stacey Abrams.

(21,596 posts)said Abrams will be likely be offered a plum cabinet position or other position in a Biden-Harris administration, and that Atlanta Mayor Bottoms will run for GA Governor in 2022.

(6,849 posts)I've no doubt the president will pursue this course. I look forward to the 2022 midterms. I'm also pretty sure the international stage will have some sort of surprise role for us to play.

(6,231 posts)to know that 50% of the country is straight up racist and voted to take away their health care. They totally lack empathy and don't care that over 200,000 Americans have died. This really shocks me.

(48 posts)Listening to Stacey Abrams is better than taking Xanax. She calms me right the eff down and I've got the energy and determination to do something useful.
