22. So what?

Not every loss is a defeat; nor every win a victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, The resistance begins. We're still right and they're still wrong.
Time will prove us right, history will prove us right but we still have to fight.
We get to be the a holes for a change. We don't have to "behave", we don't have to roll over and take it.
We can be as rowdy and noisy as they were.
Stop listening to the pundits, they're wrong as usual. Kamala didn't do anything "wrong".
The Republicans put up a garbage candidate knowing full well who he was and what he did. And they voted for him.
Accept the fact that we live in a country full of bigots, homophobes and xenophobes. The pundits would have you believe that if you sent
the "right message" that somehow they'd be "enlightened" and see the light.
When the hell has THAT ever happened?
Tell the left to get on board or get lost. If they were so damn popular, Jill Stein would be on her second term now.
If they want to play in the Democratic sandbox, they gotta pull their weight or get out of the sandbox and make their own party.
And people better start sending flowers and candies to Black women; they did work and got kneecapped by white women who smiled in their faces
and stabbed them in the back. They're hurt, they're tired and you will NEED them.
No matter what you think, you're not getting the majority of white voters; no Dem has gotten them since the Voting Rights Act. They showed up for Trump, too many Dems didn't.
Unacceptable.
I'm all for diplomacy, but sometimes you gotta tell people aobut themselves. This isn't the time to spare feelings, there's a war about to begin.
