He wasn't quite such a blatant spoiler.

2018-04-22 19:54:09 UTC  

A lot of them just hate Hillary

2018-04-22 19:54:13 UTC  

The greens are different

2018-04-22 19:54:17 UTC  

It was a two point swing towards the R's.

2018-04-22 19:54:18 UTC  

Greens ironically did take a bit of the anti-war vote.

2018-04-22 19:54:22 UTC  

The libertarians can be left or right wing

2018-04-22 19:54:24 UTC  
2018-04-22 19:54:31 UTC  

No

2018-04-22 19:54:32 UTC  

The greens are always left wing in my experience

2018-04-22 19:54:42 UTC  

Handel did better than Trump

2018-04-22 19:54:47 UTC  

In 2016 the Republican got around 23% of the vote

2018-04-22 19:54:54 UTC  

In 2017 Handel got 3%

2018-04-22 19:54:56 UTC  

@Deleted User Incumbent advantage

2018-04-22 19:54:57 UTC  

Oh shit I mean majority

2018-04-22 19:55:03 UTC  

It isn't that huge

2018-04-22 19:55:12 UTC  

Yep.

2018-04-22 19:55:28 UTC  

it's hilarious how defeatists like @Deleted User and @🎃Boo-ton🎃 focus on whatever statistic gives more credence to their doomsday rhetoric

2018-04-22 19:55:29 UTC  

Incumbent advantage, man.

2018-04-22 19:55:36 UTC  

Incumbency is important. But it isn't 20 points

2018-04-22 19:55:40 UTC  

We lost MN because of the Somalis

2018-04-22 19:55:42 UTC  

incumbent advantage does explain a bit, but unfortunately that's not all of the explanation

2018-04-22 19:55:47 UTC  

Yes it is.

2018-04-22 19:55:56 UTC  

@FLanon Ossoff was Conor Lamb before Conor Lamb

2018-04-22 19:55:57 UTC  

young

2018-04-22 19:56:00 UTC  

white male

2018-04-22 19:56:02 UTC  

And considering the amount of retirements, I don't think it all bodes well.

2018-04-22 19:56:05 UTC  

campaigned as a 'moderate'

2018-04-22 19:56:10 UTC  

Conor Lamb campaigned as a progressive though

2018-04-22 19:56:14 UTC  

not lamb

2018-04-22 19:56:17 UTC  

Ossoff

2018-04-22 19:56:18 UTC  

Ossoff probably could have won if his house was inside the district

2018-04-22 19:56:18 UTC  

We're probably losing to House tbqh

2018-04-22 19:56:19 UTC  

The district went for Trump by !-2 points, Handel won by 3.

2018-04-22 19:56:26 UTC  

@FLanon Ossoff campaigned as a progressive

2018-04-22 19:56:33 UTC  

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 doesn't mean we shouldn't keep working

2018-04-22 19:56:47 UTC  

as per the status quo, this is a salvage campaign

2018-04-22 19:56:51 UTC  

No one is saying we shouldn't work for midterms

2018-04-22 19:56:54 UTC  

you can't directly control the outcome, but you can control a variety of things

2018-04-22 19:56:58 UTC  

I'm certainly not proposing that

2018-04-22 19:57:02 UTC  

but we definitely have to deal with the cards we get
