We are a few days after a landmark election during a pandemic.That night had us scared, yet the real votes hadn't even been counted yet. We won, we won big time, no matter what the don tells everyone. Though he will fight tooth and nail saying it was illegitimate.
Then we have people, our people, before the dust even settles and votes not fully counted voicing concerns about how President Biden will govern and his choice of a cabinet and if THEY will approve or disapprove. It is up to Biden who his cabinet will be. I trust his choices. In the four days since the election has been called he has shown more leadership and focus than don has in four years. He has a COVID task force set up and is taking the daily briefs.
We Democrats are a large and diverse party, a big tent. We are all colors and stripes. We are progressive, liberal and somewhat conservative. We hail from red states and blue states. We are black, white, brown, tan, olive that makes us a huge mix.
Let's not get our pants in a twist yet. We can do that after the stench is removed from the WH on 01/20/2021.
Please. The focus should be on Georgia where we can actually WIN THE SENATE!
FOCUS PEOPLE. PLEASE FOCUS!

Who knows, if the Trump cultists remain distracted enough with their nonsense, maybe we could pull it off and make some real progress over the next couple of years.

I committed myself to give my all for President-Elect Joe Biden in the spring.
I re-commit myself to standing shoulder to shoulder with everyone who is in His Diverse coalition, to defeat Trumpism in all it's forms.
Until it's corpse is rotting in History's Graveyard.
No purity test needed here.

(7,402 posts)Made this somewhat predictable. The Media obsession for a horserace to drive revenue dollars required that they give Trump about 8 times the coverage of Biden and coverage is what matters because some of each repetition sticks. Trump's superspreaders had 25,000 and Biden's drive-in's had 250. The visuals mean everything so Trump used those to cut the gap. The message is secondary. Never mind that is has been estimated that over 700 people died from attending those superspreaders. But don't diminish the impact of decisions made in media boardrooms to influence the race.

There is virtually nothing to complain about with the Biden campaign. He had pitch perfect tone. Was sure footed. Made an excellent choice for VP. Rallied all of the factions behind him and marched methodically to victory. Mark me impressed.

(73,528 posts)very serious struggle right now. We need to be absolutely focused, and working together. We do not have the luxury of petty divisive misdirected energy that fuels the self-destruction of our side.

(53,410 posts)You are sooooo right! The country has just been saved and plucked at the last second at the top of a Niagara like waterfall that would have crushed it utterly on the rocks at the foot of the falls, yet some observers are getting pissy that the saviors arent who they think should be doing it.
