Well done, Dems. Now follow through in November.

First of all, from this one insignificant voter: well done, folks. This was more than historic. It was also admirable. Politicians with the courage to do something? what a novel concept. Our president is truly a special human being, in his ability to drive a vision, and I doubt it could have been done without him. But it was still you folks - democratic senators and congressmen - who did it. Every army needs a great leader, but even a great leader can't win even the most minor battle without a great army.

Now your leader is showing you the way again: be bold. Use this. The fear mongering is now useless, because just like a panic, when the doors of the theater are finally closed, folks still inside tend to calm down and become a lot more rational in trying to figure out what to do next. The strong response from the "anti" camp? a classic panic response, on a national level. Now the law is passed, this will calm down. And I daresay, you will actually make gains in November. But only if you follow through, stare the "party of no" right in the eye, and stare them down. They have nothing to run on, remember. Repeal? I want to see them sell that message to the 32 million new voters you folks just gained, and to their families and friends.

Stand calm. Be proud. And radiate that confidence. You did good. And in the end, good triumphs over evil. Even they understand that.
