Regardless of which way Georgia goes, please let this serve as a reminder to everyone on the left that *EVERY SINGLE STATE* has hundreds of thousands (if not millions!) of progressives who care just as much as you do. Democrats in the South work harder than Democrats anywhere.
It will never not be funny that year after year, cycle after cycle, as sure as the sun does rise, Republicans see giant swaths of almost entirely uninhabited land colored red on election maps and imagine they’re just full of smiling white faces waving up at them by the millions.
Shout out to all the Americans who use the military to justify their support of Republican candidates! They’re currently making you proud by focusing on... [squints at notes] a nationwide effort to invalidate overseas Armed Forces votes.
IMPORTANT: There are about to be a lot of hurt feelings from a lot of *paSsioNate fOlks Who FeeL heArtbroKEn and Sad* on the right, so please try to treat them with all the same respect they’ve shown you for the past four years.
BREAKING: Republican Tommy Tuberville wins election to U.S. Senate from Alabama, beating incumbent Sen. Doug Jones. #APracecall at 9:10 p.m. CST. #Election2020#ALelectionhttps://apnews.com/Election2020
The moral of the story is, he lied to you for months and encouraged you to live wrecklessly during a pandemic, and when it got to him he received every top tier treatment and medication to ensure his survival while your friends and family died alone. Remember that on Nov 3rd.
It feels weird to say “this is the absolute best news I’ve heard all year” and have it be empirically true, but I guess that’s just where we are in September of 2020.

And yes, obviously it was dumb to do this and obviously I’m sure I’ll regret it. But one of those two responses sprung to mind re: every comment this tweet has gotten, so c’est la vie. And if that doesn’t mean what I think it means, then I was hacked. Thank you, and please vote.
(2) THE NERD RESPONSE: Anyone arguing that Bran *should* be King (because he “holds all the stories” or some shit) needs to remember that Bran is dead. “Bran” is the Three-Eyed Raven and *that* is who’s King now. So get bent. Or rather, get broken. Like Bran. Who, again, is dead.
(1) THE JOKE RESPONSE: Come on, y’all. Why respond to this with an earnest argument? It’s clearly just a goof. One of my favorite things in the world is nerdily discussing ASOIAF, but this tweet ain’t that. It mentions Jim Halpert, for crying out loud.
Well, this tweet got stupidly popular, and as much as I know it’s an awful idea to provide thoughtful responses to strangers’ comments... here are two different thoughtful responses to all the various strangers’ comments:
TYRION: People love stories. And nobody has a better story than Bran.
JON SNOW, WHO WENT FROM STARK BASTARD TO LORD COMMANDER TO KING IN THE NORTH, WHO WAS LITERALLY KILLED AND RESURRECTED, WHO SLAYED HIS QUEEN/AUNT/LOVER FOR THE GOOD OF THE REALM: [Jim Halpert look to camera]
The boarding of airplanes is a perfect metaphor for America. There’s a painfully obvious way to make it better, but since the solution would cause the most privileged class the mildest inconvenience, we’ll just keep doing things ass-backwards and inefficiently as possible.
Politics is rarely ever this simple, but a truly good man defeated a truly bad man. Roll tide to Doug Jones. And roll tide to the indomitable Black community, who just saved us for the umpteenth time in their never-ending effort to steer this country away from total annihilation.
Holy hell, I finally have a reason other than football to be proud of Alabama. I worked on literally dozens upon dozens of Democratic campaigns in my time there, and we lost every single one of them. Until now. Never give up, y’all.
