Very optimistic image. Maybe that’s what America needs to do … go right back to the start, a pseudo 1960s black and white revolution of sorts. Fingers crossed for O’Rourke.
agreed. Andrew Gillum was my mayor when i was in graduate school at FSU and I am proud to have been able to vote for him in the primary and again in the general election.
Whenever I get down on the state of things, I remember that Stacey Abrams will be president in 8 years and that helps.
Man, this could be a photo of Bobby Kennedy in the ’60s. There’s a passing resemblence, isn’t there?
Definitely – in more than just appearance.
Beto for Senate now, President later 🙂 I like the way that sounds.
Also I heard voter turnout for these midterms is going to break the record, yay!
He’s so inspiring. Someone I know went to college with Beto, and says that he’s as good as he appears. The real deal.

Also Stacey Abrams, Andrew Gillum and the swing seats in CA!
That man gives me goose bumps when I hear him speak.
The polling is against him, but the enthusiasm is with him.
Same–also adding Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams to the list.
Here’s hoping (and VOTING.)
Hadn’t seen your comment when I added Gillum and Abrams to my list. They’re amazing. Among the most talented politicians I’ve seen in a long time.

It’s been a rocky night. Such a nail biter.
An American writing about America … somewhat gloomy but still from the right side of the political divide …

I’m not sure I can face gloomy right now, heading into Election Day. But I’ll definitely take a look. Thanks, Sinead.
Completely understand – for another day! Fingers crossed for all the right people from the other side of the Atlantic. Let the rebuilding begin.
Democracy is tough.
