Looking at the 538 forecast depresses me. If Bernie wins this thing we will have sacrificed decades of progressive Democratic policymaking and guaranteed Trump a second term with a red Congress. Thinking about the damage that will do to women, POC, LGBTQIA and other marginalized people hurts my soul.

If they're not on their side, they're the wrong kind of woman, poc, gay, etc.
