    We’re all happy and all but I’m being cautiously optimistic. I refuse to be taken by another Fetterman or Sinema.

      the reason i am happy about the results is not because of zohran himself (even if i think he is great). i refuse to be like the people who idolize their chosen leader.

      i am happy because the campaign showed people that community effort can produce effective results. democracy doesn’t mean that we chose our leaders, it means that the power is in the people, and that is worth celebrating in itself

      Yeah, a lot of us are. But what’s the alternative? We’re all trying desperately to not fall into a dark, deep pit of diapair, but we keep getting pushed into it by the same people you mentioned.
