I'm tired of people saying that even basic civility is unavailable because of this.

We have a leader who I think can restore some of that opportunity to have different ideas

at the table and be enriched by it.

So when I think about how do I want to feel over the next four years,

I don't want to spend a second being a thumbs down or thumbs up commentator.

I want to think about how I can contribute to problem solving,

because we got a big inbox of problems in front of us.

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant-Soup Politics, the home of grace-filled political

conversations.

Hello everyone and welcome to Pant-Soup Politics as we turn the page on the 2020 election

and start to look into the next chapter of American History, which we'll have lots to say about

on today's episode. Quick housekeeping notes before we get started.

Number one, we would certainly appreciate if you took a moment in the Apple Podcast player

to write and review our show. It helps more people find us. It gives us strength and encouragement

to continue on and we really appreciate it. Secondly, we had such a lovely time with you all

lamenting the waiting time that accompanied networks decisions to call the race

and shared a lot of funny TikToks and memes and gifts.

And it broke our direct messages on Instagram. They're broken.

You are welcome to DMS anytime for any reason. And we encourage you to do so.

And also, if you want to be sure that we have read it and that we have an opportunity to respond to

you, you want to be sure that your message is not locked in requests that we are not able to get to

because somehow we've broken our DMS. Just send that email over to helloatpant-souppoliticsshow.com.
