Election 2017
Looks like a massive pick up in Virginia, with House of Delegates possibly flipping over. Discuss.

Re: Election 2017
Not only is it a huge pick-up, but the types of candidates is VERY telling. Their first Transgender candidate unseated the asswipe that introduced the bathroom bill and the boyfriend of the reporter who was shot and killed on live TV unseated one of the biggest NRA supporters.
Athens GA added two progressives to their state legislature which is a big fucking deal in GA, Maine voted to expand Medicaid, Minneapolis added their first trans woman to their city council, and progressives were elected in Philly, NJ, Manchester NH just elected their first female mayor... it's happening all over.

Re: Election 2017
DSA picked up wins all over the country, too, suggesting they're doing the local-level party building that counts.

Re: Election 2017
At this point are there any actual Democrats who are as upset about the DNC as non-Democrats?
Re: Election 2017
Democrats will remain a compromise party between the center-left and the farther-left until either the center disappears (unlikely) or the GOP moves back to the center (more likely). Therefore we are left with this camel horse, that does what it needs to do, but moves slower.
Ride that camel.

There's one of those happening? Why? Do I care?

A camel ride or an election?
