DUs we got this.

All the doom and gloom posts here is really disheartening, I’m confident we are going to win, this is going to take some time they have yet to count mail ins and it looks like it’s going to go our way. So keep the faith.

A lot of us think he's got it. It's disappointment in our fellow citizens - that so many of them would support someone as horrible as Trump, especially after seeing him in action for four years.

But this is part of what makes us democrats. I think republicans have such a short-sightedness about them where they don't consider the consequences of their actions - even in regards to themselves. It's all about the win and being able to "own/pwn" the democrats - especially since Trump became president. We're going to be happy that Biden wins, but we're also already looking to the challenges of the future - part of which is going to be dealing with republicans who are addicted to needing to "own" us.

'I can't understand how that SOB managed to carry even one state against young Kennedy.'
-- Harry Truman on Richard Nixon.

And Nixon was benign compared to Trump.

Why can’t we take a win????

We saw what our countrymen were made of in 2016. We did what we had to do to win a huge chunk of power to keep us afloat.
