It was still a good result for democrats

just not that good


Ehhh, not sure how "good" the result is for them. They may well win the run off, but from what I heard Trump only won this district by a point or two anyway which seems to indicate there is a fairly close split in the district. These results would seem to agree with that conclusion. Not to mention democrats were far more energized for this special election and it didn't seem to amount to much.


the district is strongly republican, it just was less trump country as it's more highly educated than a typical trump-voting district

it's part of the DNC strategy to target upper middle class whites like me rather than working class whites

and honestly, it is a huge waste of resources. had this resulted in a majority win, it'd be great but i doubt he'll win the runoff. RNC has way more money.

separate note: i am on a bunch of email lists since I donate money to progressive campaign organizations and jesus christ they are all spinning his plurality as a huge victory and egg on trump's face

it's a really effective winfow into the spin that is politics
