How to lose Alabama 101 for dummies, seriously is he even trying anymore?

I'd rather him be a loving father than someone who would pretend to be homophobic for political gain.

I disagree.

Ugh. Stop. He’s going to lose the state and everybody knows it. Loving his child means more than winning the votes of homophobic right wing bigots.

I mean if he was a Joe Manchin and had Moore as an opinion, he would have a decent shot. He has to do everything he possibly can to maximize his chances of winning, but unfortunately he is not on the same page.

If that's the case, then why not just switch his party affiliation to Republican, amirite?

The benefit Jones gives from loving his son and the positive example he sets is so much more impactful (and the right thing to do) than any bigoted reaction to a tweet he posts over a year before the election.

What can I say? Probably. I want our people to do whatever they have to do (as long as it is not violent or illegal or anything like that) to maximize their chances of winning, even if it barely helps at all, and they are severe underdogs, don’t give up the fight until it is completely un-winnable and do whatever you can (besides the above exceptions) to get yourself even the slightest of an advance. And if it means either ignoring or slamming pride month in Alabama (obviously a much better political decision than celebrating it for Christsakes we are talking about Alabama)  I honestly am completely fine with it, so be it. Try your best to appeal to the electorate. I’ll sleep just fine at night. Even if it is not actually his views, lie about it anyways.

If we followed this advice, the Civil Rights Act probably wouldn't have passed until the 80s, maybe even 90s.

Yeah, throw out rationality, facts, doing the right thing, for political gain. That's about as low as it gets.

You obviously forgot the moral of Spielberg's Lincoln, and don't tell me LBJ didn't step on heads and twist a lot of arms to get the CRA through.

That said, this race isn't one of those cases. Jones is already a dead-man.

If we followed this advice, the Civil Rights Acts would have passed with stronger margins as people would have defected from what they ran on with regard to racial issues to the extent where if they gain at least twice as many Black voters from it as they lose hardcore racists, its a gain for them, and it would have been the case for some House members.

He would be an excellent Attorney General for any Democratic president.

Why? What would he do differently from any other Democratic AG?

Well, I believe the suggestion there was that he'd be a good shoe-in for an incoming Democratic president's AG if he can't get re-elected (as is currently expected).

I know, but they have many options for AG.

He does have that history of working for civil rights that not everyone has.

You're ridiculous.  You are probably in favor of the Southern Democrats being racist during the Civil Rights Movement, because it gained them votes.

I am in favor of optimizing the chances of winning by doing almost whatever it takes (besides like the violent and illegal stuff).

Wow, expected you to at least push back on that a little bit.  You would seriously be okay with being racist to maximize votes?
