I'm a little whiskey-drunk but I'm so excited

fuck yeah well done VA

Oh thank god

LIBERALS WON A RACE I was beginning to worry it couldn't be done

WOOP THERE IT IS

big, big middle finger to the establishment Repubs going along with Trump-ian agenda items because they think it will inoculate them in elections

watch your backs, you yellow-bellied sons of bitches

They won in New Jersey too

the blue wave stateside

I hope Paul Ryan's cronies are shitting their oversized rent-a-suits

it begins

the lt gov, the ag -- all dems

goddamn it feels good to have a win

va house flipping

even a loudoun seat went red to blue

GREAT JOB VA

I was just listening to The Weeds on the way home and they were talking about how "even if the governorship wins there's still the likelihood that the legislature will block it"

I fuckin laughed

tbh i was pretty confident in the govship, mcauliffe was surprisingly popular and northam's his lt, but i am outright shocked at how many seats flipped to blue

legit pleased

also relieved that the ag is a dem, that was a concern

AGREED it's just. It's felt like we've been living in this hole for so long and these little rays of light are so, so welcome

I feel I must reiterate again that I am compromised by whiskey

but man my heart brimmeth o'er with hope

runneth even

when i lived in va and dipped my tiny baby toes into politics, it was easy getting guys like mark warner to run the state, but hard to get the legislature to be anything but staunch gop, and now it's like --

to get into the va house of delegates on a gun control platform?

what I'm getting from this is you and I should share a cute little house in Pungo and work as campaign managers for VA dems

this is my new dream

a good dream

but holy shit yeah what a turn

I'm just so excited by all this

I remember when that guy's girlfriend was murdered on air. It was horrific.

They were going to get married.

So awed by his strength and convictions. Glad he got elected!

Good job VA

Apparently Dems control all the legislatures and governorships on the West Coast now
