All told, Tuesday was an excellent day for liberals, as well as their causes. Same-sex marriage is the most popular it's even been, two states have removed their state laws which bar marijuana used for recreational purposes, not to mention that the President was re-elected and Democrats kept the Senate by a wider margin.
Gay marriage, perhaps, is the best example. The first president to openly support same-sex marriage (and who helped to swing many personal opinions in that direction) has been re-elected, three states legalized same-sex marriage by referendum, and Wisconsin elected Tammy Baldwin, America's first openly gay Senator.
It was also a great night for women. There are now 20 women in the Senate (a record), and New Hampshire is sending to Washington its first all female delegation.
And you say politics is pointless.
