I share your concerns, Adrienne. It’s hard to balance wanting “more” with being realistic. Our job is to keep pushing for more, but to understand the political realities that exist. One way we can change reality is by working to elect advocates we believe in. This election was a step in the right direction.

Obviously I’m finding this post after the election, but I completely agree with you, especially that one line – “[W]e should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” I feel like part of the reason the election was so close is really at the fault of Democrats like us complaining about Obama. We complain because he isn’t perfect, but would we really prefer the alternative? And then people see those complaints and think that he must be terrible. I’m glad the country went Democrat a week ago, for sure, but I’m worried that we’re going to be our own demise.

Wow – great write up Diane. This needs to go into HuffPo and BlogHer as well.
