Koalas March posted:Elizabeth Epps is an activist and an analyst. She isn't a rando just because you don't follow black people. They're pretty local from my brief research before I posted anything, but I yield to your subject matter expertise. Not everyone worth listening to is verified. Still, the actual applicability of the opinion to this particular race is very debatable and seems to mostly have drawn discussion about larger questions about the Democratic Party and its strategy so I'm going to stick with dropping Twitter opinions of dubious applicability or predictive ability isn't necessarily great regardless of ~influencer~ status or stupid Twitter badges.

She isn't a rando just because you don't follow black people. i don't follow the overwhelmingly vast majority of activists from, what twitter tells me, colorado, and now that i know she is an activist/analyst in colorado she definitely falls into the category of 'rando' when it comes to analysis of alabama

I was actually thinking today in therapy about running for school board and was thinking if I did that I would probably want to be in CO tact with you about making sure our (admittedly small) minority population has their voices heard because I dunno how to do that outreach atm

I am getting more and more involved in my local politics and coasting on my last name (I'm related to a local popular politician.. PM me and I'll tell you who it is lol) and familial ties. Let me know what I can do!

Yeah once I gather more info I'll pm if I bite the bullet. I've got 4 kids, and I want to make sure their education is quality, but the work required to do a good job seems like a lot, but you know, the best thing for my kids and those in the community would be to stop these assholes from inflating administration salaries and start paying teachers and funding classrooms. No one currently serving is willing to do that.

No one currently serving is willing to do that. It's so, so easy to communicate with your local gov once you meet a few faces a few times. They're regular people for the most part, and likewise 70% of the time just want to do a good job

CNN is out with its exit poll, which shows a very, very close top line — Moore at 49 or 50 percent of the vote, and Jones at 48 or 49 percent. KILL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

With 1 out of 2,220 precincts reporting I think we can safely call this for Jones.

Harry Enten posted:The big question that we don’t know the answer to yet is who wins the 9 percent of voters who had a favorable opinion of neither candidate. More voters in the exit poll had a favorable view of only Jones (46 percent) than only Moore (38 percent), but as we learned last year, it’s sometimes the vote of the “I don’t like either” camp that makes the difference.
