Omg. Jones did it!

[herding cats]

I cannot believe this!!!

[LuckyCharms]

1. Unreal! a good sign. n/t

[herding cats]

9. It has to be.

We just won a senate seat in freaking ALABAMA!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. Sweeeeet!!

[herding cats]

10. Sweeter than honey!

We just won in Alabama!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

14. Yes, isn't it great?!?!

[herding cats]

28. I opened a bottle of wine!

I didn’t have champagne chilled so I’m celebrating with what I have!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. Got my Johnny Walker... takin' shots. Cheers!!!

[herding cats]

35. Cheers!

Tonight we rejoice!

[crazycatlady]

3. Holy shit

[herding cats]

11. Happy days!

Let’s hope this is the future for us!

Oh, and their tax reform is much more complicated now. 😄

[Iris]

4. I'm stunned!

[herding cats]

12. We all are!

This time in a good way. Yay us!

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. Can't put my head around this. Woohoo!

[herding cats]

15. I cant belive Im shocked we beat a pedophile, but I am.

To heck with it, it’s a great victory!

[MikeydaDog]

6. Hard to believe, but he did it. This is good. Repubs are gonna be so afraid. Nt

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

16. Good is right... the Rethugs should be VERY afraid!

[herding cats]

17. Imagine the hysteria in RW land tonight. 😂

Ahh, this feels so good!

[MikeydaDog]

19. I know. Feels so good. So good. Nt

[0rganism]

7. OhMyDog

this is quite the surprise

[herding cats]

18. Happy surprise this time.

We won!

[Crunchy Frog]

8. I really, really was not expecting this.

We still need to do something about the MASSIVE voter suppression in that state.

[herding cats]

22. Neither was I!

I said it was going to be close but we’d lose.

Alabama voters came through for us!

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. I am thrilled. I just hope progressives will let him represent the people of AL. He won't be....

running for re-election in CA, so I expect him to vote quite conservatively. He may even have to vote with Trump on a couple of things, but we're one vote closer to a majority after tonight. The Repubs can only afford one defection to pass anything. I think that stinking Tax Reform (middle class tax hike) screwed them in the end.

[herding cats]

24. I hear you.

I’m in a red state, I get the all politics is local thing way better than some people in safe blue states.

But, for tonight we celebrate! We won a senate seat in Alabama! 🥂

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. I'm in a purple state, so I get it too. n/t

[herding cats]

29. Sometimes you folks get it worse from Progressives.

People want to assume purple states go blue. They forget there’s a lot of red in the color purple.

It makes it difficult at times to keep everyone on the same page.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. It's true. Most red state Democrats recognize that our Reps can't go West Coast liberal, or they....

lose conservative Dems, and moderate Republicans. It's a very delicate dance.

[herding cats]

34. This is why I travel to purple states when I can to volunteer for elections.

I’m helpful there and I get along with the locals.

[KewlKat]

21. Has the Muther Effer in Chief Tweeted yet? Double loser........Strange and PedoMoore

He's gotta be livid don't ya think?

[herding cats]

25. Not a peep that Ive seen.

They probably medicated him and tucked him in after the results. sw

[smirkymonkey]

23. I am shocked, but pleasantly surprised.

I really didn't expect this but I am cautiously thrilled. There is always a part of me to think that the republicans will do something to fuck this up.

[herding cats]

26. Depending on the end results they could contest the results.

Which just delays him being seated. If not he’s ours in 22 days. 😄

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. I'm thrilled

[herding cats]

31. Im thrilled, shocked and now sipping a nice bottle of wine in celebration!

I cannot believe this is real. I never saw this coming!

[Alea]

36. So are we not hated now?

Lots of DU hated on us the past few weeks : (

[herding cats]

39. I didnt hate you folks.

I live in a red state and I’m a Democrat. I hate being broad brushed by people looking to reinforce their stereotypes.

I get the battle you fight every damn day there! We need more people like us to make a difference.



Hey... YOU DID IT!!

[Alea]

43. :)

Getting shit faced, will pay in the morning but I don't care

[herding cats]

44. Same here.

Work is going to come too soon tomorrow, but moments like this are so rare.

We just kicked butt in a red state! Norms and stereotypes are broken tonight and we celebrate. 😄

[MiltonBrown]

37. Hip Hip Hooray!

Way to go Doug Jones and all who helped him!

[herding cats]

40. Every person who worked for and voted for Jones deserve congratulations tonight!

They're the hero’s here tonight!

[MiltonBrown]

42. Absolutely and it is a big morale boost to all dems around the country.

I am pumped and can't wait to beat trumpies everywhere!

[tavernier]

38. Can I just mention how handsome his son is?

Good looking family!

[herding cats]

41. Right?

I hadn’t seen him before. I was happily surprised!
