5. OMG -- THIS is what I've been screaming since election night.

Thank you.
I have said, screamed, cried, til I was blue in the face, "this election was NEVER guaranteed. Surely you all weren't going to just wing it if things didn't go our way?"

Leave all of us out here to fend for ourselves. Not after preaching the existential crisis thing for 100+ days. Even before that.

A friend, one of the few TFG voters I haven't cut ties with (but I do not talk current events with), sent me a video clip this morning, related to a sport we both participate in.Totally unrelated to politics. The theme of it was "there was no Plan B" and the person in the clip (who -- funnily enough -- had moved here from another country to pursue a career in our sport) was talking about how that's a good thing sometimes because, when you're tired, when you feel like giving up, no Plan B means no choice, you have to succeed.

My fervent prayer is that that is NOT what the Dems were thinking these past few years. Because I don't think the current party is built for No Plan B.
