it’s cool and good Jones won and the tax bill is in trouble but he still barely beat an actual pedophile

that's because white Alabamans are so loving stupid and inbred that I'm not entirely sure they're not a different subspecies

People need to get the word out for Beto O'Rourke. And they need to do it soon. I want to believe in the man, but I've been in Texas too long to think he can pull it off.

It just became the slightest, tiniest bit harder for the Senate to gently caress my rear end. That's great, in my inebriated opinion.

People looking at this as some great victory for the Dem strategy are going to be sorely, humiliatingly disappointed in 2018.

Basically, the lesson here is that if Trump had raped kids, Hillary would have won by about 1%. Way to go!

it's a step. a really small lovely centrist one but one nonetheless. the next would be to stop shitlords like zegermans painting the south as a block of dumb hicks and competing there.

look i know im harping on splitting a hair here but

Doug Jones won by outside recount margins

in a seat vacated by Jeff Sessions

this is loving huge because it means that a deep red seat just flipped

what does this mean for seats that are actually competitive for real leftists

I kind of see what you're going for here, but the venn diagram of "a politician that actually presents leftist policies that benefit the working class" and "Doug Jones" is two circles that you'd need an expert on infinitesimals to determine whether or not they actually touched.
