 The next senator from Alabama would make Bernie Sanders proud

Doug Jones figures to be a reliable vote for Senate Democrats after his win in Alabama.

By DANIEL STRAUSS

The next senator from deep-red Alabama supports Obamacare. He favors abortion rights and same-sex marriage, and believes young immigrants brought to the country as children should be allowed to become U.S. citizens. And he opposes both President Donald Trump’s border wall and the Republican tax plan.

Doug Jones’ upset Tuesday night in Alabama’s special election will make him the first Democratic senator from the state since 1994 — and Jones’ positions show how just much the Democratic Party has changed in that time. While the last generation of Democratic senators from the Deep South were reliable conservatives on many issues, Jones figures to make progressives in the Democratic caucus quite happy once he’s sworn in.

To cheers from our resident Leftist who advocates the same exact kind of candidates run in the Republican Party.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
