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.

Exactly that. Tragic.

[John Pavlovitz Official @johnpavlovitz]

No matter how the election turns out, it's staggering to see how many Americans reject a decent, kind, mature, patriotic public servant over a vile, traitorous, lawless, joyless sociopath who has complete contempt for everything and everyone.

It will never make sense.

@TraiDay79 Would have preferred a loss last week (no offense) but this week…good luck!

@BrinskiFromKC @ThatEricAlper I can’t believe I know (and love) so many people who have never seen this movie. My quotes fall flat every time 😕

@BillGuilfoil @ThatEricAlper Agree! He’s the perfect combination of socially liberal and fiscally conservative. Unfortunately for us, he’s too smart to want the world’s worst job.

I really want to believe Fauci and the thousands of doctors, scientists and researchers at the CDC who have worked for decades to keep me alive and healthy. I really do. But then Lauren Boebert, who has a GED, says something different and now I'm so conflicted.

There may be no pushback from his Republican colleagues, but mustn’t there be pushback from the rest of us? This kind of language is destructive to our country, our culture, and every living person. No one is safe under this man. I cannot understand how anyone can condone this language and behavior.
