The Election That Was

Let’s look back at how the story of this election was told. Do you remember these election moments? What about these controversies?

We also learned a lot from this election cycle: There are only two important political parties in the U.S. because the Constitution says we can’t have more. Sort of. Hillary’s nomination shows just how much the arc of history bends toward white women, and her words don’t mean as much as her actions. Donald Trump’s America says goodbye to the GOP we used to know, and being black in the age of Trump means dealing with a truth that is already known. The allegations against him are also nothing new. Republicans' “small government” platform is a total lie, and Trump conservatism isn’t about what’s best for America — it’s about winning. But a Trump loss isn’t a loss for the GOP; it’s a loss for conservatism.

And the #worksnotdone: What can we do to make it easier to vote? How do we fix voter ID laws? Can we discourage another Trump?
