One election isn't going to solve the authoritarianism and nationalism crisis in the US

It's going to take more than one election and it's going to take more than elections.

This would still be 100% true even if we took the Senate.

But now we have entrenched resistance to this crisis in the government itself in the form of the House.

The resistance must continue, but now it is stronger.
