My hope is these will be the Democrats who will actually do something. And not just fall in the long line of do-nothing-Democrat tradition.

Americans need to stop being afraid of socialism. They will like it when they finally learn what it means and what it doesn't mean. Socialism is not communism. It has nothing to do with communism. It is a way of creating a society where people believe that what we wish for ourselves, we wish for us all. The goal of socialism is greater economic and social equality and security. What's not to like? We need to chase away the socialism bogeyman.

Let’s enjoy this moment..and then let’s get busy! Having a good night does not erase the monumental and existential threat that is Trumpism.. We learned some valuable things in some very important places…let’s put that knowledge to work with strength, humility, and patriotism!

More Blue tsunami is what’s needed. In the NJ Govs race every county shifted Blue from the ’24 presidential by as much as 18%

Trumpism: Cruelty & chaos, hunger games, terrorizing kids protecting pedophiles & self enriching fraud. https://open.substack.com/pub/paulkrugman/p/the-big-smirk?r=aexlz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

It is a baby blue but worth noting a different shade of blue and that is very refreshing.

I'm calling it an Orange Crush instead of a Blue Wave! Delicious, no? :) This is about stopping authoritarianism more than ushering back in the Blue Democratic Party... they've got a lot to prove to build back the trust that has been lost.

All eyes are on New Yorkers - and on Cuomo as he packs and moves to Florida to be with his ilk.
