    Hey Pat, thanks for the support. I didn’t think you’d be so happy about a Democratic victory though!

    Well, I’m just being realistic here. Sure, the American “left” is still definitely right-of-centre by Swedish or even European standards, but everything is relative. Until there’s a major shift in the American political discourse, I’ll be content to support the Dems. I just hope they’ll manage to find some kind of identity of their own soon. Campaigning against the opponents’ ideas rather than for your own only works when you’re in opposition - and those days are over now.
