I’m ashamed that more than half of my state’s citizens are so ignorant or hateful or fearful or all three that they could do this, especially exactly when they were voting for forces of light and right so overwhelmingly that California was rated a gimme and we never even saw a presidential ad on TV. Electing the first [half of] a black president is no small thing, and it doesn’t do to rain on America’s perfectly justifiable pride in that by saying it isn’t enough. Rather, I think, wallow in the Obama moment (and the almost-Hilary moment, and all the other good outcomes yesterday) as a source of energy and confidence for lots of remaining work.
