:::treading very, very lightly....:::
The reason I cried for an hour last night is not because "we won" - precisely the opposite.
It's because Americans in this small but very public way have rejected the politics of hate and division. It's because we said that we no longer want every day to be about "we won" and "you lost."
I'm well aware that hate and division are alive and well, and were the victor or appear headed for victory in several statewide races. I'm also well aware that as President... well, never mind.
But for what last night as a whole says about America - I'm very proud. It's nothing short of breathtaking, really. And I can let go of at least a little bit of the recent despair.
