Millions of people just going through the motions. The campaign operatives cashin' those checks and spinnin' Herschel's latest scandal, but also the voters who went in and marked the name next to the (R) because it's the only thing they've ever done and the only thing they can imagine doing. Like the Soviet Union in 1988, just limping along out of pure habit, not even the party operatives believe their shit anymore.
I appreciated the kindness of your tweet last night. Walker really needs to go quiet and get help. And by help, I don't mean the clown show of Cruz and Graham speaking for him. It's horrifying to think what might have been, had they been successful. Shameful. And just...sad.
All honor and glory to the organizers and the GOTV effort in Georgia. Thank you Nikema Williams and the Fighting Fifth. Thank you Killer Mike. Thank you Georgia Equality. Good stuff.
Seems to me it would be a good time for the party to re-examine themselves whenever democrats win a senate race against a mentally unwell, incoherent, and misogynistic candidate by less than 100k votes.
And the reason it was so close is because we are a society that is so unhealthy and so hurt and divided and unwell that someone like Herschel Walker can nearly become a United States Senator. That is on him and the GOP, but it is also on us. And that sense of relief we’re feeling today, if not acted upon, if not used as a catalyst for change, will soon be replaced by abject horror."
This is all exactly right. That we're teetering on the edge of descending into our horrific past is the clarion call of this century. Get rid of your television and get out in the streets.
