Thank you to all the Gen Z'ers who got out and voted. Y'all saved our butts in some crucial elections. We lost SOME ground, but not nearly as much as they expected us to, and considering how mad the 'pubs are? And how heavily they gerrymandered voting maps after stunning losses in 2020? damn, we did good.

We might have to fight a little harder for things but we still stand a chance. I'm proud of y'all.

I've seen a couple people reblog this with comments or tags that amount to, I voted but it felt pointless, my state is so red, and I have three things to say:

1. Girl [gender neutral], I'm in Florida, I get you.

2. Watching "pointless" Georgia flip blue in 2020 added like 15 years to my life and I am gonna keep going on that hope forever

3. Sometimes the point is to flip up both middle fingers and yell FUCK YOU real loud just so they know we're here and we're gonna make it their fuckin problem.

Look at this map. Look at aaaaalllll that gerrymandering that must’ve been involved in getting the 6 Districts in Kentucky to look like THAT.

We snagged one district; we can do it again.

And Kentucky voted NOT TO BAN ABORTION. That’s not nothing! That’s not a bunch of votes that didn’t count, or were useless; those are votes that COUNTED. Democrats lost sixty LESS House seats than was predicted. = O Five states voted to remove the “slavery is (still) allowed as punishment for those convicted of a crime” clauses in their state constitutions.

Governing isn’t an all-or-nothing sprint, it’s a relay-race style marathon. And every step we take gets us closer to our goal. Conservatives have worked for DECADES to get us to this point. Please, please don’t get discouraged because we aren’t able to put everything right in one or two election cycles. Decisions are made by those who show up. Please keep showing up. Please keep using your vote as your means of yelling and flipping off those who would see you subdued*. *Since feasting on them is not currently legal.

How the GOP gained ground was one vote at a time. One district. One state. Slowly but surely. And they fucking came for us in 2016 when they took the heavily unionized steel worker states like Pennsylvania. But we can beat them at their own game. And this is exactly how we do it. One stage legislature seat. One school board member. One law. One city, county, district, and state at a time. But we have to try. And everyone has to show up. Thank you for showing up. Keep showing up.
