Yeah, I'm glad for that, but it just goes to show that all these years of centrist domination have been enabled by an apathetic left

Hopefully they keep their momentum and don't peter out because Ellison only getting second place means the Dems are unredeemable to them

Dems just won a 50/50 state senate district in an 18 point blowout so there's some good news today

Also it was record turnout, up from the 2014 midterms. Marino lost his race by 4 points then and is losing by 20 points now

what a bunch of loving permalosers

are you seriously smugging it up factional-style over a state senate seat

like, are you under the impression that people ITT are Republicans who would be mad about this, or that the outcome of one state senate seat has implications on the Democratic Party's wider ideological identity crisis

Pack it in boys, the Dems won a state senate seat, guess we're all #WithHer now :sigh:

You don't want to draw too many conclusions from state senate specials but it's definitely a real good sign about who has the energy.

Watch how many times someone describes themselves as "realistic," " sensible," "pragmatic," and probably a few other buzzwords I'm forgetting, in order to gauge how big of a soulless self-interested piece of poo poo they are, it lines up remarkably well
