Hey Megan, I have no contempt! But I was at the point where the election was won or lost, both here and out of state. I am expressing what just happened - not what I think happened nationally, but what just actually happened on the ground.

Hey Megan, I have no contempt! But I was at the point where the election was won or lost, both here and out of state. I am expressing what just happened - not what I think happened nationally, but what just actually happened on the ground.
I am angry we just lost nationally! But certainly trying to draw a realistic line on what is a growing narrative that somehow Illinois is on watch for rising Trumpism or something - we aren't, we won't be, we won lots of local races. I think Tom made a political analogy which is heading into my profession (note I do far more listening than posting on his many other posts) so I gave a qualified personal opinion and defense of what I see as an unnecessary analogy.
I have plenty of national curiosity, but there isn't enough data to start drawing quantitative solutions yet. If we are dealing in qualitative analysis, I can count mine as pretty solid.
I'm certainly not yelling about education policy! Just the politics I sweat and bled for is all. I am a yeller though (a hearing defect in my right ear leaves me at 60% so I have always been loud) so I often apologize for being loud and I certainly apologize for any contempt vibes - I'm frustrated too and I'm in about eight places helping get a legislative agenda together.
I also find Ezra Klein usually contemptibly smug and often out of touch with the solutions he advocates for directly, my hope for the direction of the party hasn't emerged yet. I'm reading The Black Book by Adlai Stevenson to see if I can get some help there, and if I find something I'll bring it up.
