By this logic the Patriots should give away their Lombardis and tear down the team since their margins of victory weren't wide enough

Seriously, fuck these people...

There's plenty more but I'll end here since most of them are reading from the same talking points...

[Glorfindel]

1. K&R n/t

[mythology]

2. The Patriots should turn them in because they cheat repeatedly

Lance Armstrong had his Tour de France wins voided because he couldn't play by the rules.

Also yes the fact that it took a Republican president with a mid 30s approval rating, a candidate that had been repeatedly rebuked for violating the Constitution while on the state Supreme Court, said America was great during slavery and sexually assaulted minors to get a 1.5% win is evidence we need to do more to convince people the Democratic party is better than Republicans.

We have benefited greatly from Republicans nominating some bats hit crazy candidates, Sharon Angle, Todd Akin, Roy Moore etc. But we need to be able to compete in more states. So that it doesn't take this sort of perfect confluence to win. Our system is set up to benefit small states, we can't just win the coasts. We need to be better up and down the ballot so we can win more elections and enact better policies than Republicans.

3. Spare me the we "only" won by 1.5% in a deep red state

with a thousand obstacles stacked against us, because it obscures the bottom line: When we work, we win... When we get out our vote, we win... I guess the better sports analogy would be a 20-point underdog in football winning on the road -- You think they give a shit if they only won by a couple of points? On two major stages the heavily-favored Trump-endorsed candidate has lost and I see no reason why we can't keep this trend going... And yes, Ted Cruz should be shitting his pants about now...

End of story...


EDIT: We all know the Patriots are cheats; it's just not something we're allowed to discuss on DU

[brush]

4. Right about Ted Cruz. Texas has a big Latino-American pop. and they'll coming for you...

just as the African Americans did to Moore.

[ismnotwasm]

5. Oh those sillies.

Increasingly irrelevant thank goodness. A tsunami of Democratic voters is happening and they will either get swept up or washed away.

[obamanut2012]

6. John Graziano, an ex DUer who was as horrible here

As he is working for TYT, as many female DUers can attest.

[rpannier]

9. Is Graziano that trump apologist who doubts there's proof of Russian interference?

[octoberlib]

14. Was his DU name John Graziano? I'm just curious if I was around when he was here.

[BannonsLiver]

7. Wonder what their JPR screen names are?

[jmowreader]

8. As my dad would say...

“They’d bitch if they were being hung with a silk rope.”

The reality of Alabama is if Satan Himself was running as a Republican he’d probably win his election. If anyone but Roy Moore was on the GOP line Jones wouldn’t have won.

[rpannier]

10. My mom used to say

"If they won 100 million in the lottery they'd bitch about the taxes."

[Blue_Tires]

13. But Moore *WAS* their guy, and Jones *DID* defeat him

Maybe the party has been getting beaten up for so long we don't know how to fully accept or even trust success...?

[jmowreader]

17. People who have been abused for a long time, like we have, are like that

[Blue_Tires]

11. A few more...

Granted, I know for a fact that many of these are Russian disinfo bots, but not all of them:

But don't ever ask these geniuses who know every damn thing about politics the last time they phone banked or canvassed or how many winning campaigns they've been a part of... Much much easier to sit on your ass and spew shit on Twitter while others do the heavy lifting...

[melman]

15. Misrepresenting that Katie Halper tweet

It's not about Alabama. I'm sure you know that but just pointing that out for those that don't.



Also @ 'taking Moore's loss" as if 'Dudebro twitter' wanted him to win.

[Blue_Tires]

16. And now Zogby cuts to the chase and admits what's REALLY bothering him:

When did leftists get such a hard-on for whoring out for white moderate/conservative-moderate votes?? Am I the only one who remember a time not too long ago when so-called "establishment" Dems got bashed to no end for doing the same thing??

[melman]

19. Conveniently leaving out the rest of the exchange

Do you think people don't know how to go to twitter and check this stuff?

[Willie Pep]

18. Good thing these ultra-lefties are a relatively small group of cranks.

People in Alabama, especially African-Americans, understood what the stakes were in the special election. It is also important to note that if the DSA and other lefty groups got their way and ran some kind of socialist in Alabama we might have lost to friggin Roy Moore.

[JI7]

20. there is nothing Left about these people , it's like saying Putin or Kim Jong Un

believe in communism.

[betsuni]

21. K&R

[Orrex]

22. A Republican victory by a single vote margin is declared a mandate

A Democratic victory by 3M votes is declared a loss.

[Blue_Tires]

23. +1000

24. Bonus content: Obama is to blame for Net Neutrality dying even though he saved it last time:
