According to exit polls, Nicusor Dan, the Mayor of Bucharest, will be the next President of Romania.
He's being projected to defeat far-right candidate George Simon.
A few thoughts:
– The very last thing we need is this public self-flagellation that Democrats have such an astonishing propensity for.
– Yes, Biden books are being published, but we are idiots if we allow Trump’s insanity and misdeeds to be pushed into the background.
– We need to push our narrative into the news cycle, so it eclipses what Trump and MAGA are trying to push.
– Ken Martin and the DNC are doing a terrific job of being the catalyst for change that the Democratic party sorely needs.
– There are incredibly many positive things happening at the local and state level. For instance: hundreds of town halls and targeted protests.
– And even nationally, Democratic legislators are doing a better job of fighting back.
