One year on

[tanaqui]

It's been a year since the election -- and I'm not sure any of us could have imagined or predicted everything that's happened in the last 12 months when we learned the result.

So to mark the anniversary, we thought we'd throw the floor open to you, our members, who have made this comm a place to find support, discuss strategies and celebrate the successes of the opposition.

Tell us about the high points and low points of the last year for you. Tell us about what's made you laugh or cry. As we settle in for the long haul and the first burst of anger-fuelled energy falls away, tell us what actions -- small or large -- you've been able to maintain. And let us know what plans and hopes you have for the future and the ongoing resistance.

Honestly I think election night last year was the low point. It just completely stunned me, shattered me, and made me feel like my vote didn't matter like nothing else ever had. It was a gut - punch to the psyche that's for sure.

The high point was last night in Virginia's elections. It just felt like a ray of hope after a year that just seemed so dark and destructive.

Yeah, I agree. I've been pretty much in a bad mood for a year now, but last night I felt a glimmer of hope that we're taking at least a step in the right direction.
