Election Day in Wisconsin (10 of 11): Loss.

When I was getting ready to go catch a ride so I wouldn't miss my train, Walker's win had been announced, and everyone looked so upset and distressed, and people who didn't seem to know each other just kind of grimaced and hugged each other.

This one older (white) woman who I hadn't talked to looked upset, so I just reached over as I walked out and took her hand and squeezed it and was like, "It'll be okay, we just have to keep fighting," and I said something about how this was a war, it wasn't all about one battle.

She still looked distraught, but she nodded.
