Really? More so than the 1906 Governor’s election that turned deeply racist and helped to spark the Atlanta race riot?

Remnants of the RNC-GOP attempting to leverage the Moore defeat into an attack on the Bannonites:

Good interview with the DSA person behind the brake light idea.

The point was that the Clinton campaign was blamed for taking DNC money from local races and spending it in other places, when the money from the JFA was meant for local races and the DNC officers reallocated it to different places.

I have a habit of putting my preferences in more modern history as most relevant to a given cause, and Boston is an example where a school board race sparked violent riots that ended with the white people rioting successfully re-segregating Boston piblic schools in the late 80s. Thirty years later huge racial divides are still a huge problem that white people pretend were solved in the 60s, or that only mattered in the South where people are racist.
