So, good news; Mississippi elected its first black state senator since the 1800’s, and its first Democrat in 44 years. Better news: a 27-year-old unknown filmmaker produced a commercial for him which went viral and is hailed as one of the keys to his campaign victory. Politico has an interview with the Senator-elect and Ryan Sales, the spot’s creator.

The ad is perfection: it’s a modern, young, irreverent and truthful skewering of the Republican incumbent’s condescending, elitist attitude. It’s exactly what the Democrats need to wake up and start doing every damn day.

Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer is making a bid to be the Senate majority leader again. Sit the fuck down, Chuck. We don’t need old-time Democratic politics anymore. We need young, angry, motivated, and energetic leaders to start ramming good legislation through both houses and get shit done.
