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.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us.

Retweet if you proudly voted for Kamala Harris!

[kiyah ⁷ saw autumn leaves and paradise @fooIsjoon]

they burned ballots in georgia, lost over 3000 mail in ballots and made bomb threats all day which led to make polls closing early and people having no where else to go to vote. if this isn’t voter suppression idk what the fuck is

Black women. Forever. Always. ❤️

[Hamilton @HamiltonMusical]

Spotted at the polls! The #HamFam is getting out the vote.

[Michelle Kay Camp @michellekaycamp]

An elderly black man was slowly walking in with a cane, and I told him he could vote from his car and he said

“No thank you. I’ve been made to wait 8 hours and had to pay the poll tax. I’m going inside to vote.”

😭😭😭😭😭

I am literally crying and trying to pull myself together.

Please please be enough 🙏

Regardless of the outcome at this point, I really hope this outcome ends the idea that Trump's first term was some sort of fluke, that we as a country are 'better than that.' Naive, see-no-evil ass position that self-sabotages the work of building an holsitic alternative vision.

[Jevin D. Hodge @JevinHodge]

It’s okay. Give it time.

We still have a very long way to go.

A. Very. Long. Way. To. Go.

BREAKING: Missourians voted to end the state's abortion ban, the very first abortion ban enforced after Roe was overturned.

This is a huge win for reproductive freedom in Missouri.

[Alice Miranda Ollstein @AliceOllstein]

BREAKING: Missouri becomes the first state to overturn a near-total abortion ban by ballot initiative, per @AP, even as the state reelects its staunch anti-abortion Sen. Josh Hawley. https://t.co/I7MANNizLm

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Keep calm, folks.

It's closer than any of us wanted.

I'm sad about it, too.

But it's not over.

Lot of votes left to be counted.
