First. This is US politics. I can’t seem to post there. Anyways…
While the stunning gains are welcome, a reminder. There is no political solution to the problem of today’s United States.
The country remains ignorant, unpredictable, and woefully unable to offer its own people the most important trait of a democracy. Empathy. Yet the results today offer a shred of hope that rebuilding could start early. You have to start somewhere afterall.
However, Its going to be a long two months with the Jan 6th crowd still in power. They need to transfer that power now. An armed and militant paramilitary still does trumps bidding. And many know they might be held accountable in the months to come. I am not optimistic they will wait to see how it plays out.
Stay vigilant down there.

Done. Thanks for the heads up.
For those who are not updated on US Politics, what happened?
Mid term election resulted in democratic party wins, majority in Senate and house.
Previously, Republicans had the majority and enabled Trump and his people.
Now, there is hope for checks and balances, for investigations and consequences.
But the system and people, the voters and political and press systems are still the same. OP cautions about a single win and chance not being persistent or indicative of a long tend.
