I’m not terribly excited about the Democrats coming back to power- the last 6 years have made many in the party incredibly reactionary and swing further left than I’m comfortable with, and their incompetence at what should be a core skill (campaigning) does not bode well for their competence at government. And frankly, I’m sure they’ll repeat many of the patterns of the Republicans (even more pork and more money from lobbyists), having had a chance to learn from them for a dozen years.
But god… as unexcited as I am for a Democratic ascendancy, I can’t wait until more of the current crop of Republicans aren’t just out of office, but go to jail.
