GA-6 Special election discussion thread

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Since the Democrats need to win in districts like GA-6 to take back the House, it would not be a good sign if they lost this race by more than a few points, especially with Trump's approval rating being where it is and the fact that the base is motivated right now, like the town halls and protests showed.

This will be an embarrassing loss like KS, and MT will follow suit. Justice Democrats need to start recruiting candidates to run. Without grass roots liberalism is finished in America.

Oh for f**k sake what is with you leftwingers thinking that a place like KS-04 is a socialist safe haven ready to happen there was nothing wrong with that loss

Democratic leadership can't be trusted anymore.  The Democrats suck when they're in power and they suck when they're in the opposition, whether it's to Donald Trump or George W. Bush  If they're not compromising with hostage takers when they're in the majority and watering down their own proposals, they're working to help elect their rich friends when they're in the minority.

Because it makes no difference to Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer who's in power.  They'll benefit off the tax cuts and everything else for them is smooth sailing.  They don't have anything at stake under a Trump presidency like the rest of us do.  They're fine either way.

"the war on whites" yikes krazens gone full alt right.

No, this is nothing new.  But if people would just report his racist posts instead of replying to them (or any of them at all) then this would be a much nicer forum.

lol

Here's something one of the, er, "minor" Republican candidates in this race left on their Facebook page last week:

He's a Muslim immigrant who became a successful doctor, running as a Republican against the (((Kushner)))-controlled (((Ossoff))).

make it rain

Imagine if Ossoff got 49.98%.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

In 20 years, "liberal" and "progressive" will be as poisonous as "Communist".

Go away.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

So we might not know the outcome of this thing until next week, possibly?

Good night everyone

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Let's not do the thing we did last week and let an old troll derail the election night thread.  Please and thank you.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

A big thank you to marty for reminding me why I had you on ignore.  Daft I was to ever change that.

"Making Metro Atlantaa the Silicon Valley of the South"

ewww he's lost my vote.

Silicon valley- you mean the place where companies rake in 10%+ profit margins and underpay tech workers?

Shouldn't berniebots NOT like some of the left's glorification of the tech sector?

The liberals that I see praising Silicon Valley the most are DLC types.

And what's bad with that? Every liberal is obliged to be anti-DLC "bold progressive"? Why? "Liberal" doesn't mean being communist or even socialist..

Because stuff like this tends to be the outcome every time a city wants to become more industrialized.  It's bad for the environment and it's bad for society.  That's a different topic for another thread, though.

Bernie didn't exactly, uh, phrase that the way I would have, but yeah, this is probably not a district where his influence carries much weight.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I agree that GA will go the way of VA, and this should happen very quickly. By 2030 or so, MS, LA and maybe NC could all lean D and TX and FL (and maybe SC) would be pure Tossups or lean D. The Democratic Party's base will be in the South.

Rhode Island and Delaware look random, and I can't see Illinois or New Mexico voting Republican on a presidential level unless the GOP makes significant inroads with Hispanics.  I also wouldn't put Georgia as safe D either, by any means.

That poll was taken before that abortion of a health care bill was passed, I would assume.

Thanks, Paul!

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Right now my gut's telling me something like 50.1-49.9 Ossoff.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Some disgusting RW troll group is putting out a last minute ad tying Ossoff to the Scalise shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7ZiddrkmI

This will backfire.  Holy sht.

Also, let's stop trusting decimals in polls.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'm not going to argue, but I think this is a silly argument to begin with.  Um, let me put it this way.
