....AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Even with the recent GOP gains on Election Day....it means nothing! You've lost the Culture War and your kind is dying out! The Kochs are old guys and they'll die soon, too....and 2016 will be the YEAR OF PROGRESSIVE COMEBACK!
Sorry sweetie, but your wins are an illusion! For LGBTs are as good as Heteros, Women are equal to Men, all "races" are one Race...the Human Race & more folks know that war sucks like a black hole....slowly, more and more are coming to realize these truths!
If Abraham Lincoln were alive today, he would be a Democrat!
Democrats aren't perfect and are basically Centrists/Sane True-Conservatives/Rockefeller Republicans....but they're the only real viable voting option for Progressiveness we have at the moment....That's not to say we can't move them Left-ward (like the GOP went Right-Ward into the Wingnut/Fascist/Theocrat/Plutocrat Party of The Beast of Revelation).
My Political Spectrum system goes like this.....
POLITICAL SPECTRUM:
Moonbat/Liberal/Centrist/Conservative/Wingnut
MOONBAT - The Weather Underground, The SLA, ELF, any Lefty who's really militant to the point of being really annoying, alienating or destructive.
LIBERAL - Senator Elizabeth Warren.
CENTRIST - Barack Obama (though occasionally dipping to Conservative).
CONSERVATIVE - Rev. Billy Graham, Pope Francis, sane normal Mainstream Islam (which could be more Centrist, too).
WINGNUT - Rev. Franklin Graham, Pope Benedict XVI, The Tea Party, The Klan, NeoNazis, Wahhabism.
