I’m reflecting on all the different types of people who won as Democrats tonight. Different genders, different races, different ethnicities, different sexual orientations. Differences in style and, to some degree, in substance. But all recognizably and clearly antifascist, pro-democracy, committed to pluralistic constitutional democracy, rule of law. That commonality should not be taken for granted. It is the bedrock on which we can build a more just and livable country.

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social You hit the nail on the head regarding the Democratic victories, "... all recognizably and clearly antifascist, pro-democracy, committed to pluralistic constitutional democracy, rule of law." These are the things that Americans want. As I heard one commentator say on msnow, "It wasn't a blue wave. It wasn't a tsunami. It was an asteroid."

  • @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social My state hasn't had Blue in the Governor's chair since Ann Richards lost to George W. Bush in 1994. 32. Years. That's insane. Now Abbott and Paxton have been removed. Two down in the unholy Texas trinity. Cruz can't get ousted til 2030's election, but he's gonna go through hell without two of his biggest enablers behind him (seriously, he's been so unlikeable to so many folks for so long, they're the only reason I can imagine he's stayed in so long... even folks I met who would admit they voted for him seemed to do it with a grimace).

    @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I love all the US Democratic party folks, truly. But for all the unity around rule of law, constitutional democracy etc. there needs to be more understanding and agreement on two fronts: 1. Rejecting the "permanent war economy" and rejecting the necessity of US military primacy. 2. Rejection of trickle-down theory. Reduce inequality or just go home. Expect this to be contested ground even in Democratic dominated places. They are no-brainers, but really hard problems to solve.

  • one of the first things they need to do is to appoint Thomas Massie to a special counsel investigating the Epstein Files. He’s a republican with credibility on the issue, an appointing him will make cry’s of a Dem hatchet job less credible. @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
