Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity.
She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
@ProjectLincoln For me, it was when he was rushed to Walter Reed but he & his docs hid the severity of the visit which I feel involved a stroke. His medical records, income taxes & ed transcripts were kept from the public. The conman maintains a 24/7 grift and then there’s the nasty sex stuff.
Wow! Nearly half the seats at Trump’s rally in Atlanta are EMPTY and people are leaving in the middle of his speech. Trump must be upset seeing them stream out of the arena while he’s still talking. But you can’t blame them — his speeches are so BORING! 🤣
Trump isn't expecting to win, he just wants it to be close so he can cry foul and incite violence from his supporters. We can't just defeat Trump on election day, according to @TheRickWilson on @msnbc, it has to be "a devastating wipeout".
12 yrs ago, I went to Washington, DC as a Tea Party Congressman embracing freedom.
12 yrs later, my former political party has become an authoritarian-embracing cult, and the Democratic Party is now the party embracing freedom.
@mjfree Everything about this Orange Imbecile turns to shit, like his many bankruptcies, his failed administration, his failed marriages, and his frequently full diaper thanks to years of substance abuse.
I’m confused, are catholic voters more offended by a man who has 5 kids by 3 baby mommas, 34 felonies, led an insurrection, Stormy…or someone campaigned in Wisconsin instead of going to Al Smith dinner?
Let me know your thoughts…
