Bizarro World logic here.
No, honey. Losing is losing.

That person is still in the grammar school mentality where everyone is a winner. Did you lose? Here have a first place ribbon anyway. I bet they think the loser still gets to go to Washington and be a congressman.
My friend just had a field day with her students(7th grade) and they weren't allowed to compete against each other. They all won, they all were the best at everything!

This is the world that participation trophies has created for us. I would have thrown a participation trophy away if they'd tried to hand me that shit.

Even if the dems won, it would set a terrible precedent where they would have to spend and spend and spend for every election.
Now they are going to have to get in new people, and change their message.

^This - This right here. They still seem to think they can buy elections. In fact, one of the posts said as much. Sorry, some people just aren't willing to sell.

Wait how is voting for the republican candidate a sign of rejecting Trump? Damn these people are desperate for any type of win

Thanks, OP. I can fap to this.

With all those posts angry about this, you'd start to wonder why he didn't win. Surely all of reddit can't be wrong, surely reddit's a good representation of what people really feel, right? Surely all these people posting are all from Georgia since it's an election that affects them. Surely all these upvotes given to these people isn't a result of some giant circlejerk. Surely there are no shareblue shills amongst the bunch.
I'm sure of all of this.

I live in this district, and no, none of these people are even remotely like those who I associate with on a daily basis. Sure, you have your stereotypical leftist graphic design student at g state, but for the most part I don't know many people like this except on college campuses. Which, unsurprisingly, almost all of reddits active user base is.

I know very little about Georgia other than I tried to get a job at one of the University hospitals. I thought with it's high black pop. it would go Dem. Glad to see it didn't.

Maybe that's why Trump keeps doing stuff that seems fucked up at first and turns out to be fuckin awesome two weeks later.
So we never really get tired of winning.
[–] HungryCrow 1 point 16 points 17 points (+17|-1) ago
Hahaha some of them actually believe they would have had a better chance with a full on progressive instead of Ossoff. They can't comprehend that their politics are completely unattractive.

I read one where the person was shocked that people could vote for someone that came out against livable wages. They can't seem to understand that the jobs that pay that little are meant for HS kids just starting out and not gender studies grads that know everything and want to live like a princess doing low skilled menial jobs. You want to have a livable wage? Work for it. You don't want to work for it? Enjoy being poor.
[–] AutoGrizz 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
I love the ones that claim there aren't any jobs that pay a livable wage available. When you point them to a job that pays a livable wage, only requires a high school diploma, is always hiring and available in every city in the United States. ... they'll refuse to take it because it would require them to work on Saturdays.... "I HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE!! I DESERVE TO KEEP MUH WEEKENDS!!!"

[–] Trogdor300 0 points 14 points 14 points (+14|-0) ago
They don't understand that a big chunk of the country doesn't like their taxes going to welfare , getting punch and pepper sprayed because you voted Trump , having babies murdered , men using womens bathrooms , allowing illegals in to rape and destroy our country and that we don't want to give up our guns. Once they understand that they might start winning

Do these people seriously think Russia cares who wins mostly irrelevant house seats in the deep south? This should show you both age and wisdom level of the average clown on r/politics.
[–] Obergruppenkraken 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Their wisdom modifiers are in the negative. Fuckin plebs.
[–] user2033 ago
Well they believed the Russia shit to begin with, so there's no limit to how retarded they can get.
[–] Messmer_Messmer 0 points 9 points 9 points (+9|-0) ago
Oh right. Russia must be confusing the state Georgia with the country Georgia. Oh those funny Russian guys!
