Losing Virginia Drawing Best Thing For Democrats In A Long Time

[SeaDoo77]

I feel sorry for the people in Virginia who will suffer, but the "loss" shows what can happen if "you" don't go vote.

Losing a tie by drawing may boost turnout more than any ad, campaign, or other device.

If you don't vote, your party can win by 10 points, and still not be in control.

Democrats need to overcome massive obstacles to take back our country from the deplorable traitors.

This is just one more reason to get off your couch.

Drive on.

Take back our government.

Don't rest until we succeed.

Start by signing up every single person you know regardless.

1. REally?

The....... it's good to suffer so you learn your lesson argument?

2. I don't really buy the 'winning by losing' argument, especially in the case...

where control of the legislature was at stake.

3. It is much too optimistic to think that

THIS event will get people off their couches. Have there not be MULTIPLE instances that prove that voting is important? And THIS is going to be THE catalyst? I live in a glass half empty world.

4. Spoiled ballots and coin flips are features of our sham voting system, not bugs

It continues...

5. In hate to be pessimistic, but people who don't vote....

.....won't see this a reason to vote.

6. No, just no.

Alabama, yes.

7. That is so unfair. That ballot could have been interpreted either way.

8. Is there really anyone dumb enough to think "we won by coin toss - that's fine, we can do that again

but to also think "we lost by a coin toss - that shows we'll lose by a coin toss again"? Because that's the only way that losing the toss could be "good".

9. no

10. No, Doug Jones win was best thing in a long time. I hate the 'suffering will result in better'

argument.

13. I agree-winning is positive reinforcement that Dem votes count and system isn't rigged for R's

When Dems come out in force and still can't win it is demoralizing

[Progressive dog]

11. So if the Democrat had lost by a lot of votes

it would have been a better outcome? I'm failing to follow your logic.

12. What specifically leads you to believe this particular loss will engender greater voting numbers?

What specifically leads you to believe this particular loss will engender greater voting numbers over other close losses/win?

"Losing a tie by drawing may boost turnout more than any ad, campaign, or other device?
Is that merely another bumper sticker, or will you supply objective data to support the premise?

14. It was total crap...and losing is never good...we would have had the majority and it sucks we don't.

There is no good here. Losing is always bad.
