Well, first of all, I don't think you understood what I said.
I said to give people material things and provide results.
Outside of the Farm Bill, Doug Jones wasn't a remarkable senator:

FiveThirtyEight is tracking which senators and representatives agree and disagree most with Donald Trump.
Now he only had two years, but outside of the COVID bils, Doug Jones was just an everyday Senator.

So what beyond looking the part got Tommy Tuberville the job and what had he done since?

what does this have to do with his time as a senator?
So what do you think Doug Jones could've done with his one Senate vote that would've gotten him re-elected?
Do you believe that if he voted differently on some bill he would've won?

Actually...from what I understand he was instrumental on getting that joint venture Mazda-Toyota plant built outside of Huntsville. That's a pretty big deal I would think.
Cincinnati is blue. The city almost always has a democratic mayor and city council. The problem is we are gerrymandered to death. They include us with many rural communities to our east. Also, Cincinnati is surrounded entirely by white suburbs to the north (until you get to Dayton) and east. Former House leader Boehner was from a Cincinnati suburb (Butler county). Without gerrymandering, Steve Chabot would’ve never been our congressional representative. I agree that OH is just like PA, but with smaller city centers. Luckily, Cincinnati is adding young progressives to offset the rural surroundings. Cleveland is still getting smaller.Ohio...is an odd duck. Before Biden was the nominee, the DNC wanted Sherrod Brown to run for president. He didn't run because of his wife (she didn't want him to) - she's a journalist and college professor. Any democrat who wants to have a chance to win in the state of Ohio HAS to make Columbus purple at minimum. Cleveland is a democratic stronghold, Toledo as well. Cincinnati almost always goes Republican (with a few exceptions like the most recent upset, or when they elected Jerry Springer for mayor). Columbus is the one area that's a toss up - you've got a ton of banks and insurance companies that have a significant presence there, as well as a good sized manufacturing base (Honda, Intel, Abbott Labs), and a major university there. Outside of Columbus, it's completely surrounded by Republican counties except for Athens. That's why Ohio is so tough for democratic candidates to succeed - you HAVE to know where to spend your money and know where to go. Message matters a LOT there.
I tried to tell them.
I dont think Vals future is totally doomed but for now you are def correct
Shes better off working for the DNC/Biden admin at this point. Maxwell Frost won her seat, and FL gonna be gerrymandered for the next 12 years.
she could win in an open election against a so so candidate. not against an incumbent. also needs a stronger top of the ticket
Nah bruh, you should really see how FL is drawn up. Orlando and Broward are the only Blue districts...
