Edwards hasn't lost yet.
But yeah, this is incredibly depressing on every level and I'm pretty close to exiting politics all together.
I can understanding feeling this way, and I've been there. The reality is that people are stubborn and sometimes, there really is no way to convince them to think differently, much as we try. While I've never seen partisan loyalty (especially to Republicans) this high, it's not unusual for Democrats who even seem popular and well-liked in Republican-friendly areas to lose, despite their best efforts and their Republican opponents just being partisan hacks. This is why it's important not to get your hopes up too much in general, especially in these types of races, as promising as they may seem.
Taking a break is definitely a reasonable thing to do, but I'd encourage you not to give up entirely. We've got more than a year left before 2020, and while there's no doubt that Trump will easily win KY, LA, and MS, that's not where the election will be won.
Yeah. While dissapointing, the south has drifted so far to the right that not even Jesus could win an election here if there were a D infront of his name.
That being said, I wouldnt give up on Edwards just yet. We've got an entire month and if democrats can get New Orleans and Baton Rouge out to vote while keeping his margins in rural areas similar to tonight, he might still have a fighting chance.
