The results of yesterday’s election didn’t exactly go our way. Andrew Gillum lost in Florida and Tom is taking it pretty hard. He wonders what else we could have done, we got the word out, we voted, and encouraged others to vote. There’s not much else we could have done, but we’re not done yet! […]
