It never fails to astound me that people have been conditioned to truly believe basic human rights should be a profit source. That’s Grade-A gaslighting.

Oh, and anything else is socialism (scary cackle).

Democrat Analilia Mejia won a New Jersey special election for the US House on Thursday, defeating Republican Joe Hathaway on a message of standing up to Donald Trump.

Mejia, a former head of the Working Families Alliance who had support from Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator, will fill the seat previously held by Mikie Sherrill, the state’s Democratic governor, and serve until January.

Her victory is a win for progressives and means Democrats hold on to the 11th district seat in the House, where Republicans hold a thin majority. It also adds to a string of victories for Democrats heading into this year’s midterm elections.

The Associated Press called the race for Mejia minutes after the polls closed.
