I voted for her. I think he's a bad guy.

But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.
Aaron Levie, CEO of Box
Wild ride. Congrats to @realDonaldTrump on becoming President again. What's great about America is that we're on a rocket ship right now and can keep accelerating with the right policies and execution.

If you're on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term.

I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that's close, stuff you believe in, stuff you've gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.
