Democratic politicians lost last night, but liberal values won in cases where issues were put up individually. Marijuana legalization in two states and D.C., minimum wage increases in four red states, rejection of “personhood” in Colorado, a gun control win in Washington state….put liberal values up individually and Americans vote for them. Yes, it seems voters were snowed by personality this year, but the fact is, when given the chance to vote on issues (not assholes), they vote liberal. What happened last night is exactly what happened in the last two years of every two-term president in my lifetime. Every six years, the party that controls the White House loses seats in the House and Senate and the president’s opposing party takes control of both houses. It happened to Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, too. This election wasn’t some blinding, unprecedented defeat.
