Reality sucks sometimes, but we still have a lot of work to do to recover from the trump years. Polls are shifting in the right direction now, which is encouraging, but in football terms we're still in the first quarter.

I intend to continue voting against any candidate with even a hint of trump support in their resume.

I'm more hopeful than I was a month ago, but we ain't out of the woods yet. Sadly and strangely, a trump "win" remains a real possibility and denying that possibility only works against us.
