there's that, but a senate seat is huge regardless. It should not have come to this, but flipping an alabama seat blue is just insane in any context.
Seen a lot of sentiments like this lately (click and read the whole thread):
Also, a good bit of "dems ain't shit".

By Fenderputty Go To PostWho’s people?I'm seeing all these hot takes about how much of a failure Democrats are and Doug Jones sucks.
Like seriously even when we win we're still the bad guys... :(
What more do people want from a Democrat in the deep South? His stances on climate change, abortion, health care, etc. are all in line with the party. Frankly, it's uprising that he's openly pro-choice in Alabama. Don't pick apart the first Democrat to win there in 25 years because he isn't Keith Ellison/Bernie Sanders far left.
We have another vote in the Senate to stop the Trump agenda and that's what counts here. Jones won't be caucusing with the GOP ever. He's not a Blue Dog.

That may be my problem. Doug should fight for what's right and give the AA community something but the takes I'm reading are like he's gonna side with Private Prisons and sell gas from a lemonade stand.
C'mon now...

Something something purity test something something
Not sure how accurate the splits are given exit polling track records, but the moral bankruptcy on display here is astounding.
And yet it is also completely unsurprising
Shout-out to the african americans that got out and voted, even while suffering from extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression, voter intimidation, and being tossed to the wolves by dems. People need to let Jones and the party at large know what time it is.
Got no words for those college educated white folks and white women at large. Should be surprised, but I'm not. Shit aligns with American history perfectly. Handmaiden's tale gets more poignant by the day.
A pedophile, little girl grooming, sexual assaulting, slavery loving, cartoon ultra racist almost won, with backing from the GOP. Wild that even with all of that, a democrat almost lost. The levels to this are astounding.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is being encouraged to stay strong in NAFTA negotiations by people who aren't normally his allies.http://rdnewsnow.com/article/565214/bernie-sanders-others-political-left-push-trump-maintain-nafta-hard-line
Sen. Bernie Sanders and other members of the anti-NAFTA left held a news conference Wednesday on Capitol Hill where they demanded that the president keep his promise to drastically overhaul the agreement.
They held their event as negotiators from the three countries met in Washington.
"We are here today to send a very loud and clear message to Donald Trump: for once in your life keep your promises," said Sanders, a Vermont senator and former presidential contender.
"We need to fundamentally rewrite NAFTA."

How can you say that now more than ever?
This isn't Bill Clinton anymore; White "Liberals" will never be our core.

I specifically had convos last year that amounted to, "fuck the black south" because they didn't vote for a certain person (from minorities and non-poc). I know how to take a W, but this is not happening again, unless changes are made. It's not a, "now more than ever" thing with me. It's an, I'm tired and I'm allowing myself to have some hope, for a change, that people will actually learn from this.

The whole reason I joined this fight was because of BLM and Trump. I say this as an affluent educated and privileged straight white guy, we need to do more for Minorities, LGBT and women in this country. No matter what "White People" say or do. Because clearly they don't give a shit about decency or ethics.
Pretty sure we know perfectly well which wing of the party had a vocal “F the black south” component.
Hillary, fwiw, is the first presidential candidate to make criminal justice reform a key part of her platform. Now, we can talk about whether that’s genuine or not (most likely no) but the fact of the matter is that it’s now built into what the party will advocate moving forward

Hillary got lambasted for catering to minorities and LGBQT in 2016 and not putting more effort into blue collar white workers from the Rust Belt. Let's not rewrite history now.
How have there been no public displays of temper tantrums yet? Those are more delicious than hopium.
Also, can "fuck John McCain" be the new "fuck the Lakers"?

Yglesias said it best when he said that McCain never gets enough flack for being bad at the “senatoring” part of the job.
He gives good quotes and gets on the news a lot but for someone who’s paid to legislate he’s exceedingly uninterested in legislating

Prop 8 was some bullshit from up on high.
Was in Cali at that time. Mormons poured in huge amounts of money, time and energy to get that passed. That's not talked about. Instead it's/it was how much "minorities hate gays."

Senate Republican Dan Johnson has committed suicide.
The man was a bad cunt.
http://longcon.kycir.org/
State Rep. Dan Johnson, who was under investigation for alleged sexual molestation, has committed suicide.
Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell said Johnson killed himself on a bridge on Greenwell Ford Road in Mt. Washington, and the gun was recovered.
The man was a bad cunt.
http://longcon.kycir.org/
Long ago, Johnson fashioned an identity as a modern-day American patriot. Pro-gun, pro-God, pro-life. He talked in 2013 about making America great again. He lamented the lack of God in everyone’s lives. He wept over the country’s future.
But behind this persona — cultivated, built up and fine-tuned over decades — is a web of lies and deception. A mysterious fire. Attempted arson and false testimony. Alleged molestation in his church.
In Johnson's wake lies a trail of police records and court files, shattered lives and a flagrant disregard for truth.
Back in 1994 and even before then Goldwater was on the money. He was a prick in his own right but he was very much a "fuck outta people's lives" old school conservative.
"When you say 'radical right' today, I think of these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party away from the Republican Party, and make a religious organization out of it. If that ever happens, kiss politics goodbye."

Ah, fucking hell.
Karlsson, a Swedish entrepreneur whose startup was failing, was lying in bed with a bankruptcy notice when the BBC called. The reporter had a scoop: On the eve of releasing a major report, the United Nation’s climate change panel appeared to be touting an untried technology as key to keeping planetary temperatures at safe levels. The technology went by the inelegant acronym BECCS, and Karlsson was apparently the only BECCS expert the reporter could find.
Karlsson, then a 27-year-old studying to be an operatic tenor, was no climate scientist or engineer. Still, the TV show got him thinking: During photosynthesis plants naturally suck carbon dioxide from the air, storing it in their leaves, branches, seeds, roots, and trunks. So what if you grew crops and then burned those crops for electricity, being sure to capture all of the carbon dioxide emitted? You’d then store all that dangerous CO2 underground. Such a power plant wouldn’t just be emitting less greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, it would effectively be sucking CO2 from the air.
The next morning, he ran to the library, where he read a 2001 Science paper by Austrian modeler Michael Obersteiner theorizing the same idea, which was later dubbed “bioenergy with carbon capture and storage”—BECCS. Karlsson was sold. He launched his BECCS startup in 2007, riding the wave of optimism generated by Al Gore’s first climate change movie.
Many scientists are reluctant to make predictions, but the apocalyptic litany of what a 4°C world could hold includes widespread drought, famine, climate refugees by the millions, civilization-threatening warfare, and a sea level rise that would permanently drown much of New York, Miami, Mumbai, Shanghai, and other coastal cities.
But here’s where things get weird. The UN report envisions 116 scenarios in which global temperatures are prevented from rising more than 2°C. In 101 of them, that goal is accomplished by sucking massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere—a concept called “negative emissions”—chiefly via BECCS.
