I don’t think Moore will be the nominee this time, and if he is not I will want the democrats to give Jones a canteen and a pistol and set him loose, but if Moore gets the nom again, I am going to go to the mat for Jones, and I hope dems will follow. Moore has to get every last ounce of fight we got if he is the nominee.
As progressive as I am, you're not going to get much better than Doug Jones, I can admit that.
Jones campaigned as a progressive, but unfortunately he's decided to go down the Moderate Hero route with his votes in the Senate.
Well, he does still wanna try to win re-election.
It's so stupid though. Is he gonna win as an open socialist? Probably not, but he stands the same odds there as he does running a Richard Shelby circa 1992 campaign. If anything, at least the first one would help him turn out a base.
The democratic base in Alabama is black voters, not white progressives
Black voters tend to be more moderate on most issues
