Well Then...

I was really, really, really banking on Stacey Abrams. Really hoping I'd get to be part of a historic landslide.

But, I mean...

Well, at least we're all still here, huh?

We are, and from the early data, it suggests there were a lot of good things that happened.

There's also the part where elections still have to be certified, so if nobody is conceding...

[alexseanchai]

Yeah, also the bit where a LOT of women, PoC, and queer folks are joining Congress. Including at least one who's all three.

[amarie24]

Yes, we shall take our landslides of positivity where we can get them!! :D :D

[amarie24]

Yeah! I think I just read that Stacey isn't conceding just yet. Hope may still be on the horizon, OMFGGG...

[silveradept]

Have hope, but a tempered one, and one that recognizes there's been a forkton of suppression and tactics trying to make sure that people who wanted to vote (and likely vote for Abrams) "mysteriously" didn't have all the machines and materials they needed on the day.

[amarie24]

Yep, yep. : /

[alexseanchai]

I hear she hasn't conceded. I also hear there's a lot of bullshit the Republicans were pulling in Georgia. I hope she continues to not concede.

[amarie24]

-nods- You and me both hope that she continues not to concede. Again, I'm lucky in where I live, but the voter suppression of us black & brown folks has been positively asinine.

[redsixwing]

You were. /s

I've been watching the nonsense Kemp is pulling, between probably-spurious accusations of hacking, racist voter suppression, and declaring himself the winner of a race he had no business adjudicating. Here's hoping he goes down in flames.

And we /are/ all still here. And getting ready to fight like hell in the next presidential.
