Jonathan Chait Recalls the Ecstasy of Joe Biden's Election
We prefer to remember the night Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Clinton supporters were literally on the floor of the Javits Center sobbing … some even said they ran to the restrooms to vomit. There were some great photos taken that night.

Jonathan Chait prefers to remember the "ecstasy" of Joe Biden's election, when we all danced in the streets.

Chait writes:
We danced in the streets when Joe Biden was elected. Do you remember? American cities staged the greatest spontaneous outpouring of joy since V-J Day with cars honking and strangers high-fiving one another on an unusually warm November weekend. When I ventured down to Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C., on a Sunday night, a day and a half after the election had been called, the street party was still going. That was just three years ago.
Actually, we remember Antifa — which Biden insists is an "idea" — destroying Portland and carrying banners saying, “We are ungovernable” and “We don’t want Biden — We want revenge.”
But Chait is worried that people are forgetting the ecstasy, probably every time they fill their tanks or go grocery shopping.
