Gm, election is over! No big surprises last night as both polling and prediction markets showed deep weakness from Harris and Dems who mostly reran the Biden 2020 playbook and tried to pivot to the right to peel off R support from suburban white voters. Win was clear, and Dems (as flawed as the party is) won’t be marching into the capital or appealing to Harris to block transfer of power. Both parties face what I see as an identity crisis. Dems have a fractured coalition, and no clear leadership. R’s have notched up serious wins under Trump but mostly via executive power & the courts, they face increasing tension between what the party was and where the base is Discourse more divided than ever, its a capital and information game Significant wins for crypto! A historic victory for a special interest lobbying effort, big impact for us all Politics is a process, elections feel most important (see: elated fanboys and depressed moms) but campaigning != governing, much more madness ahead

Not a good morning for me or anybody in my very nonconformist family. It seems like leaving the country is the only option for my family of 5.

if your family has progressive values, I'd focus on some of the less sensational news: big wins for min. wage and paid sick leave in Missouri & Alaska, Nebraska also went for sick leave. Missouri codified abortion rights. all states that voted for trump! republicans haven't offered much meaningful policy on big stuff like health, wage stagnation, labor rights, social security all the dollars and cents things data shows matter. Harris '24 and Clinton '16 campaigns both made choices that dems should study carefully. all best to you and the fam
