This morning, let your children know that the bad guys lost. Then, fire them up to work for their community, build a coalition of goodness, and set forth a bright future for themselves and those that come next.

@The_Universality I'm not going to let this whataboutism stand, my friend. The choice was clear: wanton corporate cronyism and corruption or progressive candidates – real people – who live and work here.
Troy Jackson, Abdul El-Sayed, and James Talarico are not perfect... But they ARE good people. And that's not grading "good" on a curve, either. They are good. They won. Good guys won. And even folks like Angie Nixon, despite her loss, was still a winner. She'll win Florida in 2028.
@gardiner_bryant I do not really see what is whataboutism in my statement. If you can pinpoint it, please.
As for the "good people". I'm not saying all are terrible. What I wish is to express my opinion on this hyper correction that the "fall" of Republicans will make everything perfect.
Now, it is indeed true that Democrats are going with better goals, ideals and are actually trying to do at least something with the corporate state the USA is.
But I'd be still vary.
@The_Universality I hear "lesser of two evils" and that smacks of whataboutism to me.
By that, you're saying: "Sure, Democrats are better than Republicans, but what about the fact that Democrats are evil?"
I loathe the Democratic party establishment. They're complicit in Trump's executive overreach. But I wasn't saying "good guys win" because Chuck Schumer's picks were victorious. I was saying "good guys win" because progressive candidates that Schumer didn't want to win, won.
@gardiner_bryant Good guys? Where? If we talk about USA, sure Democrats are way better than the current political behavior of Republicans (mostly Trump), but I wouldn't call them good guys.
Lesser evil if you win.
However, I'm still satisfied with the result.
