I caught up on this thread today. I was 50 pages behind! We had our 3rd kid on the 2nd, so I have been out from work and thats my prime CP time! My wife and I both managed to vote in person on election day (her <30 hours after giving birth) even though our Biden votes are useless here in OK. I admit, I lost faith in Biden on election night as the early returns were mediocre and Florida went to Trump. It felt like 2016 all over. I just remember Chuck Todd going on and on in 16 about how votes from specific counties were going to come in and save Clinton that I felt like it was a giant rerun.
I am glad Biden won. I am worried that Trump will not leave. There are still so many Trump parades and flags everywhere. These people do not want to give up. I had a childhood friend from home in rural Illinois that was whining on facebook about how scared they were of a Biden presidency. I asked if they were afraid democrats would try and start giving people healthcare again and got defriended. I still just don't think this country can heal from this.
Not getting the senate was a huge loss for dems. It is so disheartening that people like Graham and Collins will still be there. McConnell will continue to block anything of significance if the dems cant pull out both Georgia races. And that means another wasted 2 years for this country.
