Barack Obama: “We can lose badly, and that's what happened in this election.”

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

People need to “rediscover what’s the story we tell about how we’re going to live together, and see each other, and recognise each other, and disagree, and yet, still care for each other”.

Use that hope to make a difference. Get involved.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
