Roy Moore / Alabama Special Senate Election Megathread

[Geilinor]

I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about Doug Jones.

What I know about Roy Moore though makes me think anyone sane would be better. That man has no respect for our constitution, rule of law, or court precedent.

He's a left-wing freak like most of the Democrats in Congress so he'll fit in just fine amongst them.

Accusations aside, Moore was too über-religious for my tastes.

By your standards, everyone to the left of you is a freak.

[San Lumen]

I am absolutely beyond shocked! My jaw dropped when i saw the election called. I thought it would be a slim Moore victory. If Democrats can win in Alabama they can win anywhere.

Tfw you call people left wing freaks that you think are slightly too far to the right.

What?

[Galloism]

Tfw you call people left wing freaks that you think are slightly too far to the right.

What?

In the US, Republicans are far right economically and socially and democrats are center right economically, center left socially.

Democrats in Congress I think are a little far right. So when you call them “left wing freaks” and they’re a little far right for my taste, it’s funny.

[Kramania]

Yeah, I guess. If they bombard everyone they're up against with child molestation accusations then yeah they can win.

*sigh*

The Democrat Agitprops will be working overtime playing this up. Jones will be voted out in six years and Alabama will still be a dark red state.

Oh, the old centrist meme again.

3. This was a special election. Seat is up again in 2020.

It is what it is.

Thank Bill for dragging the Democratic Party rightward. Whether that’s good or bad depends on your point of view, but it is a fact.

He only needs to last til 2020 and help minimise the damage Trump is doing by which time Trump has been impeached or is voted out anyway.

I can thank Bill for a lot of things.

The Democrats have been inching leftward since Obama was elected. It isn't the party of Kenendy anymore.

the seat it is up in 2020. Roy Moore is pedophile and child molester who was banned from a mall in Gadsden for praying on young girls. This is a moment of reckoning for your party. Spin it however you want. A mega tsunami is coming next year.

[Kramania]

Heh

Trump will bypass Congress like Obama did if he needs to. Everyone likes the imperial Presidency until it's used against them.

Stop it Gallo, I want to be happy for the day..

Oh yeah. Kennedy was a lot more left than the current party.

Remember when he took actions against US Steel because he didn’t like the price increase, forcing them effectively to reverse it because it “was not in the public interest”?

Good times.

[Corrian]

Moore will likely call a recount and the election might change if some Democrat voter fraud is uncovered (which is decently likely).

Like how the GOP rigged the Alabama gubernatorial election in 2002?

The GOP has a grip on that state like no other, the Dems wouldn't have even been able to commit voter fraud if they tried. Moore lost because he is a terrible person. Pure and simple.

If anything, the GOP attempted voter suppression over anything else.

Well I wasn't alive. In fact my mom wasn't even alive. So no, I don't really remember.

You're willfully ignoring the liberal Judges that keep nerfing Trump's imperial Presidency power.

Well, your classification of the Democratic Party as far left isn’t even true comparing to its prior self - not even thinking about the rest of the world.

It’s further left than it was under Bill or George II, but still pretty far to the right of where it was under carter and before.

[Kramania]

Once it goes up to SCOTUS it usually ends up with liberal activist judges getting bitch-slapped. It may take a little while but it happens.

[Galloism]

I actually twitch a little bit when I hear “liberal judges” and “conservative judges”. I know it’s reality, but judges were supposed to be neutral arbiters damnit.

Pretty sure I didn't call it far left. Just left wing. And it is. The difference between it and some left wing European party is getting slimmer and slimmer in my eyes.

"Jones benefitted from near-unanimous support from black voters."

96% of African Americans voted for him. Cheers to my black brothers and sisters in the USA!

I usually try to stay out of American politics it gives me anxiety
