for enabling Trump and defending his toxic, lawless behavior.
Great that Biden won, but this result was disheartening. And is a bad portent for our country.

(259 posts)This election wasnt an indictment on Trumpism just Trump. The question is whether the Gop can harness that same energy into the 22 midterms.

And next time, we might not escape it with a razor's edge election.

(1,896 posts)The ones we gained we've got to keep. There may be some in that crowd that voted just-because-they-did. They might not want anything more - pressure them and they're gone. Maybe we can accept them, do the things we said, and move the campaigning side from recruitment to retention.
