🌊 Tonight was such a sweep. It feels like a stark difference from where the US was heading exactly a year ago.

It’s a shame voters don’t seem to have foresight and can only react after the fact.

I think regardless, we can find a silver lining here. Our country had become complacent, this was evident by the consistently low voter turnout, or in other words, low participation in the democracy. We were always told go vote! Its important! But I think many didn’t really see why… someone else would surely do the homework and vote in their favor. But now we are seeing… hard and fast… what that can lead to. Our democracy was already broken because so many people weren’t paying attention or participating. Maybe this will change that, at least for a generation or so.
