Y’all IK we won the senate and it’s definitely important to celebrate, but if you’re in Georgia please, please, please vote in the runoff on December 6.
If we can get 51 instead of an exact tie it will give us a little wiggle room. For the past two years, a lot of the improvements Biden has attempted to make haven’t made it passed the Senate because one or two Democrats voted no and that was all it took; if we can get Georgia too, one Democrat can vote no and the legislation will still pass. The more seats we have the better chance we have for serious, meaningful change.
Please vote December 6th.

God, I really wish the radical left that Republicans scare monger about so much about actually existed. We’d all be a lot better off. But nah, we’re stuck with Democrats 🙄
Anyway, if you’re in the US and haven’t already, please go vote today against as many Republican, election denying, hate mongering Christofascists as possible. Sigh.

Hey, my fellow US-ians: back off the cable news and doomscrolling tonight, y'all. Unless you're studying media, you're not going to learn anything of value for a while. The most you're going to get is an anxiety attack. We're in the Schrodinger's Cat stage of democracy right now, and it takes a while to open the box.

We won Nevada by 5,000 votes. FIVE. THOUSAND. Less than 1%, For a seat that quite literally made the difference between democrat and republican control of the senate.
How much do you want to bet 5,000, or more, people in Nevada thought their vote wouldn’t matter but showed up anyway? How many people made the difference despite believing they never could? How many people changed the course of our politics for the next 2 years by dropping off a ballot?
Your. Vote. Matters. Your vote is one of the biggest ways you are going to matter in your life. The only way they win is if you give them exactly what they want: your disengagement.

Gotta say, I love that the ABC's winner/loser article format exists, because it means you get pictures like this:
and that's just beautiful.
