@hal9000
uh
we have… like 78% of the vote
they're calling it a “landslide”
someone from NATO just asked if we're taking meetings
i told them we were busy watching cat videos
@kaycee84
i'm not joking
we had a guy in a suit made of yarn on stage
we printed campaign flyers on napkins
we can't just walk into washington and say “hi yes government please”
@urbanengine
do we even have a transition plan
or like… a plan plan
does google docs count as a governance platform
@kaycee84
they want us on camera tonight
i'm gonna throw up
what do we say??
“oops”?
@CatalinaH
Hey.
Okay. First—breathe.
This is real, but we're okay.
We've joked around a lot, sure.
But under all that, we actually built something.
We've got policies. We've got smart people. And we've got time.
Not a lot, but enough.
We've got just over two months until the inauguration.
That's our runway.
First thing: I'm booking a physical space for us to meet IRL.
Everyone on this thread is getting a plane ticket.
We're going to lock ourselves in a room and figure out what comes first. Together.
We don't need to fix everything tonight.
We just need to show people we're not panicking.
(That part is your job, Kaycee.)
I'll handle the speech.
You handle each other.
And tomorrow, we start pulling the real stuff off the whiteboards.
@kaycee84
...okay
okay okay
you're terrifyingly calm and I love you
@hal9000
logging off to cry and also maybe build a shadow cabinet
@urbanengine
snack drawer opened
whiteboard cleaned
let's get weird
@CatalinaH
That's the spirit.
