I started writing an election recap last night.

Well, "election recap".

I left out the bits about who won and who lost, which I'll add tonight or tomorrow, but which are incidental to the story.

The story: the people in power can't be trusted to act in our best interests. We can't hang everything on an election, and we have work to do to build the systems that will enable us to thrive.

Dual power and all that.
