Maybe our memories aren’t what they used to be, but Georgia’s special election in June 2017 was the first time we really remember celebrities like Chelsea Handler, Mark Ruffalo, and Alyssa Milano getting out of their Hollywood bubble and doing their best to support a Democratic candidate nowhere near California. They really saw it as a bellwether and a must-win. On election day, Milano even tweeted this:
Believe in believing. The impossible is possible. (Say it with me.)
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) June 21, 2017
Narrator: It wasn’t possible. It was also the start of the Alyssa Milano curse, which seemed to derail every Democrat she threw her support behind. (It gave us hope when she stood up for serial hair-sniffer Joe Biden and posted photos of the two of them together.)

I literally have no idea who this is.

Oh hey I remember that guy.
— Alison Poole???️? (@RealAlisonPoole) June 20, 2019
He was Beto before Beto.
— Little Larry Sellers (@SpawnOfDanelaw) June 20, 2019
Yes, I suppose he was. Fools and their money, soon parted.
— Alison Poole???️? (@RealAlisonPoole) June 20, 2019
We’re shocked Vanity Fair’s Annie Leibovitz photo spread of Beto and his sad dog didn’t give him a bigger boost in Iowa.
I still remember ????????

We also remember him not being able to vote for himself because he wasn’t a resident of the district he was running to represent. But hey, it was Hollywood that kept pumping in all the campaign cash. It was estimated that 97 percent of donations came from out of state.

Do we know if he married the girl, or was the engagement just for attention?
— Lord Acton-A-Fool (@LordActonAFool) June 20, 2019
Has he gotten married yet after he was trolled into proposing to his gf?
— Alicia Smith (@Alicia_Smith19) June 20, 2019
Did he marry the girl or not?
