Always keeping it classy. (And I want to note that the use of the letter O instead of number 0 is extra awesome.)

The money spent one bothers me so much.
Handel spent less individual money than Ossoff (who had a huge swell of individual donations) by a lot; $5 million to $24 million. The GOP party and PACS spent $19 million compared to the DNC and PACs that spending $8 million. So the GOP not only spent more money than the DNC, Handel spent $4 for every $5 dollars Ossoff spent - not a crazy difference.

Oh but you see OssafOssoff spent more money (who cares that it came from donations), so that negates all else.
Here’s an interesting observation…

I guess. I mean nearly half of what he says is entirely about himself or other people like him, and that speech is one where he literally said he doesn’t want poor people in positions of power. I mean, that video at 2:25 immediately goes to Trump praising himself over his accomplishments after the criticism of the left was that they talk about Trump too much. It’s all a lot of hot air that is wrapping up a short memorable quote that their fans can sling out about Democrats that’s simply not true. It’s also ironic given that Trump and other GOP figures are still blaming Hillary Clinton for the ills of the country (not to mention Obama).
Hell, 5 minutes in they jump through hoops explaining how Trump is doing what is necessary by spending all his time out of Washington while they say Obama needed to be in Washington to run the country, and how he deserves to make things about himself more because he has reason to celebrate. It’s all hot garbage if you look at anything said critically at all.

If nothing else, I thought it was an interesting that it used to be that Obama was all ‘about us’ while the Republicans were all ‘about him.’ But seriously, how anyone can think that the Narcissist in Chief is about anything other than himself is astounding.

Huh. It’d be nice to hear from the other side.
As for not trusting Dem Party establishment insiders (assuming this guy is one), well, there’s plenty of reason for that.

Die-hard Bernie-or-nothing Democrats will kill the party faster than anything else.

How big are they, really, in proportion to Sanders supporters?
Funny how certain quarters pay so much more attention to them than they do to the majority of his supporters (let alone to Sanders himself, and what he says).

The name of the paper shares billing with a top 10 list on a huge news day? That the name “Obamacare” being pushed by the media is a part of the problem with today’s politics? That it makes it sound like it’s Obamacare’s fault that the GOP can’t pass any legislation to remove it?

WaPo is paywalled, BTW.
The Democrats are not the vehicle to resist Trump; they’re too busy focusing on important issues like this:
If the TrumpGOP are to be stopped, it will have to be in the streets rather than at the ballot box. There isn’t going to be a real election in 2018.
