I’d say this about the entire South. After he signed the Civil Rights Act LBJ said “We just lost the South for a generation.” But he didn’t say for 40 years! Dems should never have abandoned the South. There are amazing progressives everywhere in this country; they need support!!

Before y’all dump on Alabama, remember these folks live here, too. And they are fighting to make it better.

CORRECT! Tennessee here. We voted for Clinton and we had a Democratic governor who won re-election with ALL 95 counties named Phil Bredesen. We lack voter participation because we have been told our votes don't count. We need investment from the party. We matter too!

I say often that to be a progressive in certain states takes so much character. So much willingness to go against the tide. I’ve been there and I’ve seen it. Those are the last people who should feel unsupported. And I come from Texas so I know it firsthand. Please stay in there!

Absolutely! Thank you Marianne for being such an inspiration. I wanted you to win so badly. What you said and have been saying is all coming true. People need to listen to those of us they are so quit to discredit and dismiss!
