In 2016 Hillary had the mantle of the so called "Known Quantity" in the race.

2. Thanks. Our goal now has to be the total repudiation of everything Trump stands for

Of course Trump's defeat is the essential minimal expression of that, but it isn't enough in itself. So mush must be done to heal our nation, and not just from the massive damage Trump has facilitated. The courts have skewed right for decades. Income inequality has grown for decades. Racism has been tolerated for decades.

I am not much worried about possible over confidence hurting our chances to defeat Trump. I am more worried about us having insufficient confidence in our ability to seize this moment to remake American politics, and showing insufficient will to do just that. The fact that Trump is almost certainly going down does not lessen our political burden. This is a generational moment. Just like there were Black Lives Matter actions in small towns and cities all across this nation there must be a solid repudiation of the Republican agenda in towns and cities all across this nation. It is not enough to just knock it down, a wooden stake must be driven through it's heart.

With the opportunity we are being presented the need for us to mobilize is heightened by the prospect of victory
