    Whatever happens tonight, the results suggest a country that is on a knife’s edge — basically 50-50 — on the acceptability of racism, nativism, demagogy, lies, chauvinism, abuse of power, cruelty, and corruption. #ElectionNight

        And that the majority of white Americans support all of those things.

        What I find really surprising (as a non-American) is that some Americans are actually surprised by this. Do you people not know your own people??? I spent 3 yrs across semi-rural America a few yrs back and it seems like I understand the country somewhat better.

        We get it, but it doesn’t make it any less exasperating.

        I really feel for progressive Americans, but a voting system with a huge built in rural bias means each election will be an exercise in futility. Made worse as more liberals leave their hometowns to crowd in cities, leaving the vote rich rural areas to the not-so-progressives.

        Yeah, game is rigged against progressives, but that doesn’t mean they should just give up. Gotta keep pushing and trying.

        Not true. We have a president that lost the popular vote by 3 million. Even if D’s fail to take the house they will have won by 6 to 10 points overall. And the Senate gives unpopulated red states disproportionate representation. These are structural issues

        The House is the most important prize. We can actually restore some checks and balances to this Democracy thing that an odd % of my fellow citizens don't seem to treasure all that much.

        I'm not sure. Massive manipulation is playing a huge role.

        It's not 50-50, voter suppression and gerrymandering make it appears so.

        When you use the acronym "MSM" you have already lost the argument. (The media is not some uniform blob of consciousness with but one agenda and one conclusion. We're talking about tens or even hundreds of thousands of individuals whose only commonality is a search for truth.)
