Here is a compilation of amusing comments I made from the main r/politics thread on the special election in Georgia. Unfortunately I missed the multitude of posts from earlier in the evening when Democrats were starting to chew each other out for either being insufficiently optimistic (we only lost by 6 points instead of 23!!!) or insufficiently realistic (we just wasted 30 million on a chickenshit House race with nothing to show for it!!!)

The thread keeps blowing up so you might find some fresh salt there: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/6ie3p4/discussion_thread_ga06_and_sc05_special_elections/
This is so true is not even funny.>None of this would be possible hadn't it been for GamerGate!
As a general strategy, it's good for political parties to put up token candidates in most districts, if at the very least, to show the public that there is an alternative. Running three losing campaigns in a row, but showing steady improvement each time can be better than just abandoning the district entirely.I just love the "We got merely soundly defeated instead of outright crushed this time the Resistance is working!" argument. Like how deluded can you be?

Agreed, but this seemed like much more than just a token candidate judging by the wall-to-wall TV coverage and $50 million spent. Also Fulton and Cobb counties who both voted for Hillary in 2016 went for the Republican candidate this time, which makes it harder to claim progress.As a general strategy, it's good for political parties to put up token candidates in most districts, if at the very least, to show the public that there is an alternative.

why are progressives mad a woman got elected into congress? I thought the folks are r/politics wanted more women in office?
They wasted like 30,000x more dosh for 10% better performance tho, and that amount of money was on par with a primary campaign run from a bigshot.As a general strategy, it's good for political parties to put up token candidates in most districts, if at the very least, to show the public that there is an alternative.

"She's a gender-traitor for siding with a literal terrorist organization, so she should be hung like the Nazi she is."why are progressives mad a woman got elected into congress? I thought the folks are r/politics wanted more women in office?
Oh yeah how dare he congratulate a member of his party winning what a homophobic monster and once again friendly reminder Clinton was against gay marriage until she realized being for it would get her votes
I mean, they're not wrong. She is a bitch. Personally I think this signifies a step forward in gender relations for American politics; with more horrendous women elected we can all have a fun time calling them names, just like with any male candidate.Gotta love the lefties calling Handel a "bitch" because remember, it was republican misogynists who kept Clinton out .....
