This is going to be the bluntest fundraiser I've ever done: This election is hard. It has taken a toll on me, being deeply and constantly immersed in the news, spending so much time with (as it were) Donald Trump and his supporters, and with people who are cruel to Hillary Clinton.
I've navigated a damn lot of vicious pushback, staking out the ground I did during the primary and during the general election.
It is only getting more difficult and distressing by the day, for reasons I'm sure I don't need to explain.
