Borealis:

I'm a lifelong liberal Democrat, and like you overjoyed with the President’s win, but taking a realistic look at the popular vote and the map of the states, we both can see that it was not a landslide.

I’m very much afraid that the traditional concept of the loyal opposition has ended: our side lost, now let’s roll up our sleeves and work together for the common good. What we’re going to see is increased polarization, increased destructive foot-dragging and nay-saying, increased obstructionism.

I’m happy that we narrowly avoided the insanity of jumping right back to the very people who caused this mess, but we need some sort of mass societal recognition that the only sane path is cooperation.
