Joe may win. But it feels like we lost something important last night.

Yang's sentiment seems widely held here as most of the people I have spoken to seem in mourning despite Biden's apparent victory here, and in the national Electoral College.
There is a major national Party that is racist and hostile to the idea of democracy.
But the Democratic Party's strategic project seems to be sabotaging progressive reformers in service to big money, virtue signaling and identity politics.
This is not healthy for a democratic republic. It's fatal.
"The richest and most powerful country on earth — whether due to ineptitude, choice or some combination of both — has no ability to perform the simple task of counting votes in a minimally efficient or confidence-inspiring manner. As a result, the credibility of the voting process is severely impaired, and any residual authority the U.S. claims to 'spread' democracy to lucky recipients of its benevolence around the world is close to obliterated," writes Glenn Greenwald this morning.
