What is at stake

You know, I can freak about the election as readily as the next guy. But I can also look beyond an anticipated (more than hoped for) victory of the forces of democracy and reason to a time when Trump and Trumpism is in the rearview mirror of a country where elections work and we use civil processes to decide our policies. And I actually think the unity that will be required for that to happen will be good for our country. Already we are making common cause with Dick Cheney for crying out loud. And I look at Dick Cheney and very conservative Republicans and I no longer think of them, on any level, really, as enemies. They are political opponents, with whom, in our country's hour of need, we must, and we do, make common cause. The truth is we have far more interests in common with them than the issues where we disagree would make it seem. We stand for our Constitution and our principles of self-rule and majority rule, however imperfectly applied... together. Against the authoritarian, minoritarian, racist and misogynist would-be dictatorship that is what Trump and Trumpism stand for. Once we have broken through, we will have an opportunity to reset the system. There will be reforms. We will make sure we really do have majority rule. And it will be their challenge to achieve majorities, legitimately. Which, make no mistake, sometimes they will. This is how it needs to be. It's the essence, the sine qua non, of democracy. And we will have compromise, civil discourse, and a type of unity once taken for granted but now understood to be something vital, something worth working for, something even to make sacrifices for. I am hopeful. And I feel a sense of patriotism and determination to save our country and its system that I have really never felt before. And that, my friends, is a good thing. 

Onwards to the victory we simply MUST achieve. There is no excuse or acceptance of failure.
