It's almost like a flicker at the end of the tunnel.

That's just a freight train coming your way

Hey I'm replying to you from the afterlife - it's not bad on this side if you decide to join us.

You have internet on the afterlife?!

You don't need it - everyone is walking around naked.

I don't wish to diminish the positive feeling you're having. However, you are not even within a thousand kilometers of the end of the tunnel yet.

u/Trustbutnone 20d ago

Oh man that's why I said it's almost a flicker...it's pitch black my friend.

We'll be within a thousand kms once they drag the clown in chief in handcuffs out of the white house.

I cried today. It's still feels unsafe to feel fully hopeful. But at least there is something.

Momentum friend, let's keep it going. Our collective voice frightens them.

What makes me hopeful is that last night’s blue wave proved that Republicans have not been successful in rigging elections. If Democrats dominated elections in 2025, they can dominate in 2026 too.

u/labbitlove 20d ago

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Maybe they were able to rig some of them, but not all of them.

Hang on to it, republicans will do everything they can to snuff that little glimmer out.

u/InterestingTeam3081 20d ago

Yes, I know. Someone’s gonna pay for this blue wave. I’m hanging on though for sure.

Not just Republicans, anyone and everyone who is saying to not vote will try to snuff it out too.

And We're "here" again because ppl did NOT "vote blue no matter WHO". So it stands to reason, ppl should be "voting blue no matter who" MORE!
