In his latest for @thenation.com, @stevepwrites.bsky.social explains what really went wrong in this year’s election. Hint: It’s not that Dems lost a bunch of voters to Trump.

"If now isn’t a good time for the truth I don’t see when we’ll get to it.” Rest in power, Nikki Giovanni. 🕊️

Democrats gained seats in Congress. At the beginning of this term Democrats had 213 seats. Next term we will have 215 seats. Trump is at less than 50% of the popular vote. This was not a landslide election. The GOP does not have a mandate. Voters want both parties to work together.

We're officially on Bluesky! What's up?!
