All my American friends are Democrats or Independents who vote usually vote Left (though some switched this election). 

Some of my fellow Rhodes Scholars are going to be in play in 2028 and I want them to win. 

I am really trying to be sympathetic about the fact that #TrumpWon . 

But the lack of contrition for why the Democrats lost is making it hard. People are in denial and it’s almost impossible to have a decent conversation.
