Yeah there's this weird thing going around where people praise black voters(and black women in particular) for saving Alabama.

First off, ehhhhh that's getting too close to the Magical Negro cliche for my tastes

Secondly, that **** is wrong. I'm stealing this from a guy on Twitter because he worded it best, black women voting against Moore was SELF-PRESERVATION. They didn't do that for us, they did that for themselves.

Which leads me to my actual point, where's the ****ing soul searching on cable news about the cultural rot that caused 600,000 people, normal regular ass people, to vote for a wildly racist and unqualified candidate who p.s. was a goddamn pedophile? The constant need to deny agency to the right is terrible. When you run a pedophile who wants to repeal the 14th amendment no ****ing **** black women are gonna vote against him. Why didn't everyone vote against him?

This wasn't "black women saving Alabama", this was "a defeat for the reactionary side of our culture war". Alabama didn't "win", America didn't "win", one side won, and one side lost.

Corey Robin has an important take on this:

hahahaha yes

are you thinking what im thinking doug?

yes of course, we need to co write a bill to increase foreign aid to ethiopia

yes exactly

I’ve seen the opposite. Republicans: “This is actually the best thing that could have happened for us”.

I can picture steve bannon drinking wine at a steak house and the waiter telling him his credit card has been declined. talk about loss of credibility of power hahahaahaha

doug jones made me money and with the help of his fellow native alabaman charles barkley diminished facism in america. what else can Doug do for me?

That's why they're so dimly lit! The furniture and tchotchkes soak up all the light. It's natural light-baffling.

Alabama GOP officially concedes the election. Moore presumably still praying.

"are you there god?God, I know i sexually harrassed all those teenage girls and supported slavery but could you please rig the election i lost?"

Meh, disagree. The more black people vote the better the country is. Thats a fact. Anything that drives black turnout is huge. I think a story of triumph where black people overcome GOP vote rigging to defeat an evil scumbag will drive turnout. Assigning agency to black women doesnt need to deny it to the right. They own the moore 100%.

I see something new every time too. Look how close he comes to dropping his own ball while pretending to bobble it. That takes some balls to let the thing roll around in your hand like that.

The moore people are an ethnic group native to alabama and southern tennesse.Demographically they number 650,000 and own 100,000 trailer parks. They enjoy horseback riding, gunnery, dressing in festive "cowboy" hats and their native ethnic food widely known as "cracker barrel"[1]

I don't think it's possible for an adult to exit a teenager with class, so why would we expect anything different from him now?

Wait wat? That forum actually happened?

Bingo. On top of being right most of the time, smart, fair, responsible, authentic, focused/tenacious (yesterday tweeting about net neutrality), her solitary vote and speech 16 years ago about the danger of an open ended undefined aumf leading to perpetual war puts her over the top.

Because the map isn't shown in the retweet, but it's really worth studying, especially for people who spent three hours last night with their mouse hovering over live results from various parts of Alabama:



That blue district is grotesque. Just shameless.

Overweight eff you guy is just such a bitter angry person. I know a lot of easterners are wonderful to be around, but that guy is sooo east coast and I'd rather hang around with a wildfire or an earthquake.

Alabama district 4 seems like a nice place.

Lol he wanted to repeal the 13th Amendment as well. That is objectively even worse.

The background guys are the best thing about this gif. The two dads simultaneously pointing out how to their sons how awesome YankeeFanDouche is in real time, the guy who refuses to let this display get in the way of his popcorn eating, the guy who can't be bothered to get out of his seat. And of course the rage consumed guy screaming **** you **** you

Not at anything or anyone in particular. Just yelling **** You! out into the ether.

not yet, but it seems inevitable

lol that yankee fans gif gets me every time

chiefsplanet learns a thing

AMDChief go on Chapo

It contains multitudes, for the first time I noticed the fat guy on the left holding back his girlfriend because she was interfering with his gesticulation
