I'm surprised how much attention this election in Alabama has been receiving. Even in Canada it's been the top story the past few days.

Everyone is just amazed by the train wreck that US politics has become since the Donald stepped up. It was a big surprise that enough people were actually stupid enough to vote for Donald, so everyone was interested to see if the people could do it again and vote a complete garbage bag of a human being into office.

US politics has been degraded to mere entertainment domestically for quite a while now. But with the new heights of stupidity it reached now it's entertainment for the whole world.

Or do you think anything that has been going on in the past year had to do anything with actual politics?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It's good news, but sad that someone who has been credibly accused of being a child molester (9 accusers, dozens of testimonies, including from law enforcement, etc) only lost by 0,7%.
And the statistics of who voted for him is a bit discouraging.

"Moore may possibly be a pedophile, but even if he is, at least he's not a Democrat."

That's the though process going on. The Republican candidate being a likely sexual predator is irrelevant. Even if we was found to be guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt, there are will always be a solid contingent of conservative voters who would still support that absolute monster of a human being because he can be counted on to vote in favor of tax cuts, ensure that guns remain as unregulated as possible, confirm conservative SCotUS judges, and try to push for Dominionist dominance of social policy.

The Democrat can be a morally upright family man/woman who goes to church every Sunday (and not just for show, but because of a deep abiding faith in Jesus Christ), pays their taxes, obeys the law, and is otherwise as squeaky clean as possible, but, in the eyes of many conservatives, because he's a Democrat, that automatically makes him a literal Stalinist that is intentionally out to destroy America with horrible things like energy efficient light bulbs, bans on bump fire stocks, and appointing federal judges that won't try to force the gays back in the closet.

Someone who has a deep abiding faith in Jesus wouldn't be for the murdering of the life God creates in the womb (or out of the womb). Their hearts would be deeply troubled by that. If Jones had come out as pro baby rights, he would have absolutely destroyed Moore. I'm not an Alabaman, so I didn't vote, but this is what Alabama voters had to consider:

Either elect Moore, who potentially harmed/violated/raped/harrassed/etc. multiple women years ago.

Or elect Jones, who will continue to support the murdering of millions of babies a year, and over 50 million since Roe V. Wade.

I believe it is important to understand all sides of an issue. If someone doesn't understand this perspective, then they don't get that to many Americans, abortion is murder, it isn't some political opinion we all get to discuss at thanksgiving before we move on to sports, laugh and have a gool ol' time.

Here's the daily abortion rate, based on the 54 million killed since Roe V. Wade, and this is what eats up a lot of Americans:

Abortion Rate – USA ONLY

2,900

per day

137

per hour

2.3

per minute 2.3

Good for Alabama. There may be hope yet for them. Trumps reaction will be worth it if nothing else.

Do you support the death penalty?

Yes but that has very little to do with abortion now does it? and even less when you try and compare not supporting abortion with racism.

What does that have to do with anything?  Do you support "end of life treatment" aka assisted suicide?  Apparently these days we're not allowed to put violent murderers, rapists, etc to death, but we can choose when to terminate both our own lives and that which we carry within our bodies.

It has a lot to do with it, because it doesn't make sense to oppose it on the basis that it kills people while supporting the killing of people.

Only if you think killing someone on the basis of convenience is equal to a state killing a rapist. I'm still at a lost how anyone would think racism and anti abortion are equal.

This has got to be humiliating for Dear Leader. His endorsement is looking like the Kiss of Death.

Considering that the person he actually endorsed and campaigned for lost in the party run-offs, I'd say that his endorsement doesn't mean all that much.

That makes two deep-sixed by his Kiss of Death in Alabama alone.  Dear Leader must be so tired of "winning".



Thanks for picking up on this. Seriously, Roy Moore was beyond bad. He has his problems back in 2012 when running for Chief Justice and narrowly winning the race (52-48 in a year Romney ran a full 10 points ahead of him), but someone who is accused of being a pedophile? I understand wanting to stay in because of a few sexual assault allegations, but the accusations of pedophilia really should have marked the end of his campaign. He was even worse than Todd akin back in 2012, and he got what he deserved. Had he ran in almost any other state, he would have been blown out of the water by the democrat.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Moore had his issues. I dont agree with many. But i dont agree with anything Schumer or Pelosi want and Jones will be a tool.

Its the choice of a turd sandwich and giant douche. I wouldnt look to heavy into it. Though i understand after the historic losses the democrats suffered last election, any win can look like a big one.

I am always wary of people who know what their god thinks, it too often neatly aligns with their own views.  Maybe apply compassion and empathy across the board, and not where it is comfortable to judge without fully appreciating a person's circumstance.  If you insist on issues being black or white don't be surprised if others entrench themselves on other issues in the same fashion.



glad he lost, but damn that race was really close. like seriously almost half the Alabama population voted for Moore. wtf
