We're both running on pure adrenaline and joyfulness today after not sleeping much last night. Feels great, doesn’t it. You now have my permission to get happy. Speaking of happy, I’m happy that Driftglass is here today to help me recap this historic victory for democracy. This wasn’t just a major win for Democrats, and a catastrophic loss for MAGA, but it was a victory for democracy itself. The system held despite all the attacks against it. There wasn’t any Elon Musk vote rigging. The doomerism about oligarchs stealing it never came to pass. Okay, make sure to sign up for The Professional Left podcast’s Patreon – patreon.com/proleftpod.
