VOTE. (Election musings)
Well, today's an election. Vote, if you haven't yet.
I don't know what's gonna happen today. Anyone who claims confidence is overconfident. If Democrats overperform polls by 2-3 percent, they can take house and senate; if Republicans outdo polls by 2-3 percent, they do. And a few percent is well within normal polling error. Regional differences matter too. So who knows.
But what I do know is what we need to do tomorrow. (1/n)

Tomorrow we need to take a few days off. Rest. Either mourn or celebrate. And then remember that the fight continues. If we win, we can't get cocky; it only takes one election to change course. If we lose, we can't give up; same reason.

Better people than I have been fighting for civil rights for decades and centuries; worse people have been fighting against them for even longer. Progress is measured in generations, and the social forces involved are bigger than any one person, and even bigger than any one country.
All we can do is make our time, our place, just a little bit better with our involvement.
