He waited too long to make the comic. Waited too long on the sidelines too make sure it was what everyone else was doing.

If only he had acted sooner he'll say. He could have saved so many babies.

The official line from Moore now is that a recount will happen and if enough people believe in God then God will make more ballots for Moore appear in the boxes.

This is the goal of Garrison now. To tell everyone to raise their hands and give Moore your energy.

And I'm sincerely happy for you. Based on your comments in this thread, you've given your all to make sure the good guys won this one, and it's gratifying to see your work rewarded. Also gratifying to see a serial child predator who thinks the Reconstruction amendments were a mistake (only just) won't be seated in the Senate, so that's nice, too. No denying, there's a lot that's still hosed, but Jones going to the Senate is a huge victory all the same. Congrats.

We get to see another day where an exposed pedophile is not a goddamn loving U.S. Senator.
A senator from one of the deepest motherfucking red states is now a Democrat.
McConnell now has one less vote to play with when trying to ram abominations through the Senate.
Trump's favored candidate lost. In a sense, twice.
Sessions's old senate seat is now blue.

As crushing as it was to lose the first batch of specials by so little, Virginia and now tonight really give me hope that The Wave is coming.

Probably presumptuous to think Alabama is purple, but at least it proved there is a limit. A candidate can really be so bad that having that R next to the name doesn't guarantee a win in a Republican heavy state.

It would almost make me wish the MAGA nitwits continue to sway primaries if it weren't for the idea the candidates they produce could possibly win making me nauseous.


Now, do the coming toons make excuses for why Moore didn't win, or go full on "I was never a Moore supporter, what are you talking about?" :allears:

Jones is in until Dec 2020. Or longer, if he can manage the insane miracle of re-election.

2018 suddenly has the senate in active play for more scenarios than "dems win everything plausible, lose nothing, and then win a few more". This will be interesting--Heller losing plus one more (AZ?), and mcCaskill hanging on, means a dem senate.

Barely a limit. This was a total nailbiter, and a half million people said "eh, maybe he's a pedo, but at least he's not a dem" and were OK with that vote. It's still something that he lost, but wow--there is zero room for error in these things.

Another possibility. TX has almost as bad ID issues as AL though, and the hispanic population is terribad at turnout (they should be dominant, but they're a fraction of representation).

It's doable on paper, but in practice it needs a lot of TLC to manifest. Could be the year for it though! Maybe.

Spanish Matlock posted:

True, but GOP president means "gently caress that noise" with a bigger scapegoat.
We've seen firsthand the terrible poo poo they put out when in control. Dems have to step up their messaging game; but they can't afford to let the GOP drive the country off a cliff anymore.

I thought the special election merely meant he was in until 2018.

Or was that the idea of the election in the first place, get a safe Republican seat for the midterms that wouldn't have been safe otherwise?

Sessions was elected in 2014, then got tapped for AG earlier this year. Strange was appointed by the Gov to fill his seat until the Special, and the Special elects the guy to fill out the remainder of the term (so election in Nov 2020, with replacement swearing in Jan 2021)

The special election was to fill Jeff Sessions' old seat. Sessions was last elected in 2014 so the seat isn't up for another election until 2020.

That's beautiful. 2 whole years of a Blue seat in Alabama.

Now the question arises as to whether Jones will be asking for hall passes to try to get re-elected or he knows this is likely a 2 year thing and he's going to just go all in on the Dem line.
