This is hilarious. One of the key architects of the nationwide gerrymandering, Gillespie, got rolled and has to watch his legacy get unwound.
I'm literally hard. They lost a fucking supermajority in a state that's been red locally nearly as long as I've been alive. THIS. FUCKING. OWNS.
he had to get 50+1. seemed highly unlikely. he won. another district in Athens that is also red flipped. that one was even less likely.
Houston is good people. Not a Trump type Republican at all as far as I know. Still, I agree it's weird he ran right out of college. Guess people want someone who has actually experienced the real world. Crazy.
Bill the Butcher i no longer live in Charlotte (located in the state of North Carolina) but i used to and don't want you to miss this buddy!
this is the best day in politics in a long while. indictment day was fun in a schadenfreude way. today actually matters in the immediate sense and encourages me/hopefully everyone else to continue to #resist.
I'd speculate that the reason is because whatever intelligence and guile he began life with has begun to leak out at an alarming rate as his brain deteriorates.
he was parroting all the bullshit about traditional values and supports this shitty tax plan. lake o' fire.
flagpole.com/news/in-the-loop/democrats-score-shocking-wins-in-athens-state-house-elections fucking love it. was watching the VA stuff just for good news and assumed that the local stuff would just be more of the same
Trump using his time and that of the Korean National Assembly to praise their women's golf program seems like a waste of time but what do I know
expected wins so when you went to their twitter page they had celebratory balloons flying all over the page lol
Still good to see people step up and say no to more lockstep rubber stamp generic GOP agenda. Especially when Bathroom Bills, Campus Carry, and Healthcare are in play. Houston Gaines would have been on the wrong side of those equations. The GOP tried to make a candidate with $ and it didnt work. Win for Georgians.
