Because who cares if the state has an incredibly high violent crime rate, a drug epidemic or a hatred for those it doesn’t believe are “natural?” Those don’t matter when corporations can do business.And Marsha Blackburn is guaranteed to put businesses over her fellow Tennesseans. She spent her entire campaign pledging to keep the Chinese Communist Party out of Tennessee.Instead of debating her opponent on things Tennesseans actually care about, she ran ads where she crushed fortune cookies in a dinner and claimed she was going to “Stop communist China.”Because all you need to gain Republicans support is to hate foreign communists and vow to keep them from ruining Tennessee and just ignore everything bad happening around your state.There may be a day when the residents of this once great state wake up and realize that people like Marsha Blackburn don’t care if they suffer, but today is not that day. You can only blame the party that isn’t in power in your state for so long before people realize you’re the problem. Unfortunately, that day wasn’t on Nov. 3. While the next four years will continue the status quo here in Tennessee, there’s hope on the horizon. First-time voters and voters under 44 favored Democrats across the state, according to the New York Times.While the state is still a sea of red, there’s hope for a blue wave of our own on the horizon.</div></body>
