1. The NAACP led a huge effort on voter education and partnered w churches and groups registering and

Driving folks to the polls.

15. The last actions you mention, e.g.,

"registering and driving folks to the polls" are things that ALL Dem groups should be doing in EVERY SINGLE election!

That is exactly what RW groups have been doing all along.

We can raise scads of money and run plenty of ads with plenty of truths. But without actually getting voters to the polls and ensuring that they can vote, it is all for naught.

I heartily salute the NAACP for its role in this victory!

The Democrats have depended on AA to save their Bacon. The democrats better start paying them back.

11. The Democrats have done so since the Fairness Comission.

The south having priority in our primaries means that their voice is heard more significantly in our Presidential selection. This facet of our primaries was derided for a year by a certain subset. Now it's paying dividends.

3. White people away from the cities are crazy by a large margin.

Apologies to those white people away from the city who are not crazy.

16. As a white woman away from the city in a red state ...

I am deeply ashamed of white women who repeatedly throw us all under the bus because of their craziness. I may be crazy, but I'm not crazy enough to vote for a Republican. Ever.

8. Alabama Non-educated, educated, well off, poor, whites

Voted (and vote) 'R' for a pedo, misogynist klansman. Lacking progressiveness as usual. I wish it was just an Alabama thing.

[joshcryer]

10. Came to post this.

And a certain set whined about the south having priority in the primaries.

Thank you AA people. You did this. Clearly and unequivocally.

[Hortensis]

13. Came to say congratulations. None of us needed

another hit, of course, but the black coalition especially deserves some victories. Let's hope Alabama's PoC, along with Alabama women and young voters of all colors, of course, just made this election the pivot point of our nation's direction.

14. Thank heavens for AL's AA

voters! I am NOT at all impressed with AL's non-AA voters, but am not surprised. I am especially disappointed in non-AA women!

SHAME ON THEM!

[AirmensMom]

17. I feel the same way.

I live among such women in TN. It's very depressing, to say the least.

Yes, shame on them! And thank you to Alabama's AA voters!
