MODERATORS
are we tackling the tactics? the fight has only begun....
In the context of the vote? Yes. This is a clear victory over those tactics, which are so absolutely awful in Mississippi that its constant legal battles on multiple fronts.
🎉 🥳 🎈 🎈 🎈 🥂 Woo hoo!
Internet friends, what is the black population of Mississippi? Why hasn't this happened in 150 years? It isn't the black population...
Not coincidentally, 150 years ago is about when the union army ended the last of its occupation of the southern states.
It's Gerry's fault. Gerry Mander.
Senate elections are statewide races, so gerrymanders don’t (directly) apply.
It’s full on suppression and disenfranchisement in much of the south, but ESPECIALLY Mississippi, there are part of the delta that feel like it’s still 1830.
And Gerry's friend Ray. Ray Cism.
Thank god for Mississippi
Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd read here.
Half the reason I said it is because this is the first time I’ve been able to say it without the snark in my life
It's a common joke in the US, at least in the south. Sort of a "we would be the worst in the nation at [education | poverty | worker's rights | etc.] if Mississippi weren't setting the bar so low" kind of thing.
Splish splosh
This will be fun in the next election's primaries, when neolibs are trying to tell us who can and can't win an election, especially in the South.
