We've seen the election results, just like you. And our response is simple:
#WE'RE. NOT. GOING. BACK.
This community was born eight years ago in the aftermath of the first Trump election. As r/BlueMidterm2018, we went from scared observers to committed activists. We were a part of the blue wave in 2018, the toppling of Trump in 2020, and Roevember in 2022 - and hundreds of other wins in between. And that's what we're going to do next. And if you're here, so are you.
We're done crying, pointing fingers, and panicking. None of those things will save us. Winning some elections and limiting Trump's reach will save us.
Here's how you can make a difference and stop Republicans:
Help win elections! You don't have to wait until 2026; every Tuesday is Election Day somewhere. Check our sidebar, and then click that link to see how to get involved!
Join your local Democratic Party! We win when we build real connections in our community, and get organized early. Your party needs your voice!
Tell a friend about us, and get them engaged!
If we keep it up over the next four years, we'll block Trump, and take back power city by city, county by county, state by state. We'll save lives, and build the world we want to live in.
We're not going back.

So here's what we need you all to do:
Keep volunteering! Did you know we could still win the House and completely block Trump's agenda? You can help voters whose ballots were rejected get counted! Sign up here!
Get ready for upcoming elections! Mississippi - you have runoffs November 26th! Georgia - you're up on December 3rd! Louisiana - see you December 7th for local runoffs, including keeping MAGA out of the East Baton Rouge Mayor's office!! And it's never too early to start organizing for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election in April, or Virginia and New Jersey next November. Check out our stickied weekly volunteer post for all the details!
Get involved! Your local Democratic Party needs you. No more complaining about how the party should be - it's time to show up and make it happen.
There are scary times ahead, and the only way to make them less scary is to strip as much power away from Republicans as possible. And that's not Kamala Harris' job, or Chuck Schumer's job, or the DNC's job. It's our job, as people who understand how to win elections. Pick up that phonebanking shift, knock those doors, tell your friends to register and vote, and together we'll make an America that embraces everyone.
If you believe - correctly - that our lives depend on it, the time to act is now.
We're not going back.

After a three week break, it's Election Night again! The best way to stop Trump and the GOP is by electing good people at the state and local level - and it starts tonight!
Mississippi runoffs (polls close 7pm CT, 8pm ET)
Results available via AP at Mississippi Today
State Supreme Court Central District runoff: While these races are non-partisan, Mississippi Dems have endorsed the incumbent Justice, Jim Kitchens, who has a moderate reputation. His opponent is a GOP State Senator who's a loud Trump supporter, so this is an easy choice. Dems actually got a flip, of sorts, when an incumbent Justice with a conservative record was defeated by a former public defender. Keeping Kitchens in office would mean the high Court took a step to the left in Mississippi, and every bit counts!
Mississippi Court of Appeals runoff: This race in the Southern District of Mississippi is between Amy St. Pe' and Jennifer Schloegel. Neither one appears to be particularly liberal - St. Pe' was appointed to a commission by Tate Reeves, while Schloegel has openly courted Republican endorsements and describes herself as a 'pro-family Christian' judge. St. Pe' does a better job of at least appearing impartial, but I'll let Mississippi residents weigh in on this one.
