We might have lost the Senate but we won the House. This is not a failure for Dems or the left. We are rebuilding the Democratic party and this is how it’s going to start.
A list of great things that happened this election:
Tammy Baldwin remained the senator for Wisconsin. Thank fucking god.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.
Jared Polis is the first openly gay governor in the U.S. and for Colorado.
Minnesota elected Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim woman elected for Congress.
Massachusetts elected the first black woman, Ayanna Pressley, to Congress.
SHOUTOUT TO FUCKING KANSAS for electing Sharice Davids. Their first openly gay, ex-MMA fighter, Native American, congress woman.
Rashida Tlaib became one of the first Muslim woman elected to Congress in Michigan.
Deb Haaland became one of the first Native Americans elected to Congress in the state of New Mexico.
Chris Pappas is one of the first only gay members elected to Congress in the state of New Hampshie.
Over 90 women have been elected to the House of Representatives. This wasn’t a blue wave but it sure as hell was a wave of diversity. The wave that America needed and slowly but surely, we’re going to stop looking like a shit show to the rest of the world.
