The local dem groups, indivisible, etc worked hard and losing is difficult. I’m tired.

Working outside a polling place yesterday, insults were coming at us that were hard to ignore. Yeah, I think a couple of days will do the trick.

Very proud of Aftyn and her talent and uniqueness, though. She has grace and grit. She began her speech at the victory party in Nashville singing Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5! She really is good at politicking!
