I'm happy for that. I really am. Tim Ryan lost (made me cry!), Cheri Beasley lost, but a lot of other good candidates won. I think I'll go back to sleep for a bit.

I'm more upset about Beasley because I live here it's true. I lost respect for the majority of the voters who live here with me. There are people I know who probably voted for Budd because he's white and republican without regard to the reality of what republicans have done and continue to do to what could be a great place to live. I hate that they are so blinded by the white.

I come from California, which has its own issues with race no doubt about that. But they aren't still litigating the civil war in CA. Most people there do vote for the party that governs. Sigh.

yeah. not feeling happy this morning at all. I wish I could be celebrating but this was a cold slap in the face. I don't even think it was close.
