Seeing this makes me feel all the feelings I felt on election night all over again. Bewilderment. Confusion. Sadness. Deep sadness. I had wanted to vote for HRC since I voted for Bill in 1992. It was the most exciting and most disappointing and saddest day all rolled into one.

This cover makes me feel all of it all over.

We didn't deserve you. We clearly didn't deserve the most qualified candidate ever.
