The sigh of relief can't be mistaken for a breath of actual fresh air. It matters that the election results won't be contested by the executive regime, & some specific results speak of good things. The *worst* outcome hasn't happened. But we should continue with the same non-electoral tactics, the same community-based forms of struggle & dismantling, that we have (or should have) been doing already, as if the new Congress isn't going to accomplish that much to prevent eventual fascist escalation or collapse of our vital planetary systems. Because they probably won't. Practically every single member of that party on the federal level has consistently proven, year after year, that they never do.
