I guess those millions of out of state dollars to try to buy the election for Dems didn't matter.
Your guess would be wrong. The amount of money spent on both sides is just obscene. The little guy doesn't seem to matter anymore in any election. Most politicians are bought by special interest money these days.

I'm confused, isn't this a seat that usually goes to republicans anyways?
Sounds like a whole bunch of people fell for a media ratings grab.
Suckers.
It was the Democrat's hope to take a traditional Republican seat as proof that Americans were rising up against Trump. What it proved was even if many aren't thrilled with the President, they're even less thrilled with the Democrats. Another referendum on the Obama years.

If anything, the results prove people aren't thrilled with republicans. Republicans haven't done that bad in that district in what, 40 years?

That's pretty much the story. It's a majority republican district so if republicans turn out they will win.
 

It will be fine

This is not an intelligent argument. This was in no way a referendum on Obama. That doesn't even make sense. Stay in Mexico Van.

Of course it wasn't...The Dems thought they could embarrass the President by getting out the vote, throwing money and celebrities at it. They were wrong, and like Hillary's defeat the Press tried to make it happen for Ossoff. If you can't make it happen with that kind of effort what does it tell you? That the majority still doesn't want a candidate that's selling more of the same ol' Obama Blue Sky.

This narrative is absurd on its face. It ignores the fact that republicans spent an equal amount. It has been a reliable red district for 40 years and republicans had to spend $23 million to hold it by 3 points. The majority of people do want more of Obama blue sky, they just aren't properly represented. We'll see how Wisconsin shakes out at the SC where 40% of the vote got republicans 60% of the representation. You can pretend republicans have a mandate but it's not backed up by vote count.
