Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day
We won, we won, we won...
Forget the spin--Trump can claim victory because of the Senate and the media can claim it was a split decision, but all the evidence points to Tuesday being a humongous night for Democrats. The House alone means that cuts to Social Security and Medicare, as well as a repeal of Obamacare, are dead. We turned it around in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and my home here in Michigan, and if we hold the states Hillary Clinton won in 2016, plus add those three, Donald Trump can move to Moscow or take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut (either way I don't care). The Democratic margin of victory of +.9.2 is the largest in recent times (even beating Dems in 2006 and 2008 and republicans in 2010). Even though we lost the Senate, our candidates garnered more votes than theirs. And all of this despite electoral maps that were absolutely brutal for us this year.
Yes, we lost some races we would have liked to have won, and we may need to rethink strategies in Ohio and Florida (write them off and pour money into more likely winners?), but this election was a complete and total repudiation (seriously, read the link, it'll make your day) of Donald Trump.
So celebrate (for about five minutes and get started on 2020):
The average American gets paid just enough so he doesn't quit his job, and works just hard enough so he doesn't get fired.
