Electile dysfunction

We don’t know yet who won, but we are reminded that there are tens of millions of mean, stupid white people who are willing to give the worst president ever four more years in the pious hope that he likes people of color even less than he likes them. And speaking of pious hopes, I fear there are some people who have heroic enough powers of denial to remain Left populists.

I think it’ still more like 40%, as it’s been. They work that voter suppression to do in close to 20% and keep us down to 40% at our best turn out. We’ll have to keep up our best turn outs and work it like mad, until we have enough in place in the grassroots to undo some of the suppression and more of them die off.

They're not going to just die off.

Plenty of Stormtrumpers are young.
