Nov 2024

Immediately post election, I was pondering out loud out moving back to my home state of Illinois from Indiana. Then I calmed down. A little bit.

VP Harris actually had the best showing of a Democratic presidential candidate since President Obama in the popular vote. She was still shellacked, but not as badly as the prior two elections. In the gubernatorial race, our party had a better showing in the popular vote than it has seen in many years.

So, we gotta keep fighting.
