More bad news: Ranked choice voting has failed to pass in Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Colorado. And Alaska's vote to repeal it remains too close to call. Democracy reform is hard. At least we won it in DC, but I expected more RCV successes tonight. It's so badly needed everywhere.
A vital part of being American in a democracy is understanding that your side won’t always win. Just as MAGA lost in 2020 (and still struggles to accept it), Democrats lost in 2024.
The answer to losing isn’t pointing fingers or passing blame. It’s about standing up, dusting yourself off, and committing to work with others, fighting for the values that matter to you.
Anger and rage won’t move us forward. Constructive dialogue will. The real challenge—and the real strength—lies in pushing for intelligent conversation and finding ways to make your case heard across the divide.
Real men don't vote for a sex predator who was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friends
GOP Senator Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter…the way Mr. Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world.”

Today is hard.
Today is dark.
Today is scary.
But the fight for a better tomorrow doesn’t end today.
Today I feel gutted.
Today, tomorrow, or for however long it takes, I will grieve.
I’ll allow myself to feel that.
Then I’m gonna get mad as hell.
And then I’m gonna get to work.
The final result will make no difference to the bigger picture; the ability of a vile ignorant pig of a man like Trump to make the election a nail-biter means America has lost. Bigly.

Wisconsin voter: I voted for Trump before. I was gravely disappointed. I would never vote for a convicted felon for president of the United States. We need younger people
BREAKING: There is a police presence now at the polling station at the Roosevelt School in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Three people at Roosevelt School are attempting to physically prevent people from voting.
Please stay in line and if you plan to go there to vote, please go. The area is secure.
BREAKING: The threats on US polling stations in Georgia came from Russia.
Russia is trying to prevent Americans from voting. Why would anyone vote for the more Pro-Russian/Putin candidate in Donald Trump?
That's absurd!
It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
