"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
And TTQ64 the VRA requires a certain amount of gerrymandering.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh please. Pure nonsense.
I'll repeat. Without gerrymandering I guarantee the right can't win.
Regardless of what is reported in the media, there aren't enough racist whites to stack the deck for the right.
Without gerrymandering, voter suppression, and just flat out intimidation, the right won't have state legislators in most states passing racist right wing laws that protect rich white folks and oppress others.
And for the record. I will never acknowledge anything from the right. You people are the scum of the earth.

So what?
Check the history of that district. The Republican has won the Congressional seat by an average of 30+ % every single election - for decades.
It's as solid red as a district can get. The fact that Trump won by 1% there shows that he IS unpopular - but Congressional elections still tend to be local.

i remember in the 2016 election there was speculation georgia would turn blue. Now all the democrats say they never had a shot and just felt like pissing away 50 million : )
Dems were clearly wrong on both counts - but that doesn't change the fact that Georgia is a solidly red state, and that the 6th has been as consistently red a district as there is in the country.
As someone who wants Trump kept in check, I was bummed that they couldn't pull off the upset, but it's probably the best thing that could have happened. I am absolutely good w/ you & the rest of the Trump crowd falling into complacency based on a special election in GA & thinking that it has larger ramifications for '18 and beyond.
