It wasn't a Blue Tsunami, but it was very close.
There are going to be Democrats in the White House (starting on January 20th 2021), they will have a minimal, Democratic majority in the US Senate and we have retained a modest, Democratic majority in the US House of Representatives. Thereby, the new 46th administration will be able to accomplish things that are needed by all of us in these United States of America.
How did this happen?
We, those who vote for government that benefits all of us, showed up at the polls. We voted! We won, barely.
It is very important to note that those who do not vote in their own best interest, and are often quite unaware of it, also voted in very large numbers. We barely defeated them.
We must always show up at the polls, every time, because a democratic republic is only, “of the people,” when the vast majority of people own their responsibility and vote.
There were leaders who helped drive this effort to turn out voters; there were groups of people who have been the most consistent in casting their ballots... They will not be called out here because the list is long and some will almost certainly be missed.
We all, and more, must do it, vote, again and again and again, ad infinitum... Because we have, quite recently, come altogether too close to losing our democratic republic and we must not allow that to happen again.
