Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I am grateful for your courage and dedication. I was ready to be very depressed this holiday but will end up going to both a luncheon and dinner with friends and family. Luckily no one is a Trumper so I can enjoy the holiday. Keep up the good work.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Adam, and to everyone else celebrating this special day. Thanks to all of for taking the high ground while others cowered and sold themselves out...
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, as well as our friends on your Substack. This community is part of what gives me hope for the coming days in the change of administration. 🍽️🍷🥮🍂🙏🏻
Happy Thanksgiving, I truly appreciate your courage but I disagree with your analysis that Democrats lost because of pronouns. I have had to take off my rose colored glasses in how I see my fellow Americans, we have to acknowledge that they voted for an adjudicated rapist convicted felon who campaigned while out on bail, who was responsible for an attack on our Nation’s Capitol, who said in his debate that Haitians were eating cats and dogs over an extremely qualified biracial woman.
Thanks personally, Adam, for being noble and faithful, on a path that is neither easy nor obvious. And I thank my fellow Americans for being open and honest, those who are, and for the awakening of those who have fallen asleep.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family. I do believe that Kamala Harris did appeal to the concerns of the middle class just as Barack Obama did. I truly don’t believe she was harping on pronouns, and gender fluidity, and other such issues. I think she was appealing directly to the economic concerns of most Americans. But there’s a lot of hate and animosity in this country that Trump has drawn out of the woodwork, and until we get that under control, Democrats are going to be blamed for a lot of things they don’t do. We can’t necessarily control left-leaning, progressive voices who do harp on such things as pronouns. They have a right to their opinions; but if you look closely at the Harris/Walz campaign, it was very much directed toward the middle class and their concerns.
To be fair about immigration, there was a bill to address the problem that had concessions from the Democrats no one ever expected. And Trump killed it so he could run on the issue.
I keep reading people saying that Democrats were focused on pronouns, etc. I never heard our candidates or the party speak on those issues. Only the media, which tends to focus on the extreme elements of both parties, maybe. I hope that means that the Rs aren’t as focused on their racism, xenophobia, and homophobia as we were led to believe.
Naïveté perhaps, yet “the aim of elections is to win” is merely part of the aim. The other part is to SERVE. Serve democracy, serve the constitution, serve with hope for a better tomorrow. Elections now seem to seek the win as a bully pulpit in order to self serve the “winners ego.” Too many narcissistic, greedy, are running to stoke personal ego. I want candidates with character, truth, understanding of our country history, and courage to SERVE. Sounds like Adam to me.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Like JoAnn above, I disagree with the analysis but in a different way. I do not believe that dems went too far left or progressive in their policy positions. What would polar opposite policy positions from MAGA look like? Real reform that includes equal rights for everyone under the law? Now that would indeed be progressive.

I agree with this! Not only was racism in play, but so was sexism - surprisingly with many women.
The repubs have better PR people
On this Thanksgiving Day I'm thankful for people like you and the many others that have stood up to this narcissist. As a citizen I have one voice among the many. Let's just hope that they show up when it's necessary! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/22/us/politics/womens-march-trump-crowd-estimates.html
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Adam !!! Thank you for this wonderfully glass half full post today
Happy Thanksgiving. Adam and to your family.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!
I deleted my original message because it was nasty. I will not be spending my holiday with MAGA relatives.
Like watching the Orange Clown's Inauguration, I would rather be branded with a hot iron. 🔥 Bahahahahaha
Thank you Adam. I always look forward to your insights- very helpful. Best wishes for a happy thanksgiving - enjoy family time.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
