People didn't get fired up to stop trump from destroying the environment and rolling back legal protections for basically all americans, why would they get fired up for anti-discrimination laws?

Well the idea is, they're more likely to get fired up for anti-discrimination laws that aren't already on the books. "Defend the status quo" is a hard sell right now and there are some good reasons for that.

I like people telling Fly to stop using the word racist and he'll start winning elections.

The far left Washington Post reporting in the headline that the Senate bill provides bigger subsidies and lower taxes. Sounds great, I'm sure there are no problems.

Whoops, obv meant to post in the Obamacare thread.

Do. Not. Worry.

They're all interchangeable. Trumpcare, Trumpbudget, Trumpfrastructure, Trumpweapons, TrumpNATO, doesn't matter. Same **** every time.

The only variables are the amounts. How much Trump gets, how much Republicans get (Not you, lurker. You need to make 250k or more to qualify.), how much credit can be stripped from Obama, how much the American people lose (THIS is you, lurker. Congrats.), and how much the country suffers. The rest is cookie cutter.

or maybe you and the rest of your racist old friends could go **** yourselves, and old men get the **** slapped out of them by somebody who is younger and more physically fit when they start on that nonsense. just a thought.

Probably not as much as looking like Pajama Boy. A retired Atlanta Falcon probably gets more votes in Cobb by default, sadly.

My favorite Ossoff commercial was the one they ran on the flagship R&B radio station, which was essentially "I know Hank Johnson! I know John Lewis!". It reminded me of the movie scene where Eddie Murphy runs for congress and goes around town with a megaphone, changing his voice in the different neighborhoods.

Hey guys nothing to worry about, it's not like Democrats actually need to like, win any red districts or anything, just keep doing the same stuff, keep running these cardboard cutout candidates. Everything is fine.

archie parnell would have won that race in Georgia

That the Democrats do much much much better when they're not even trying is, um, telling.

i mean that was a cool ad while also literally being 100% devoid of any policy whatsoever

I live in East cobb and ended up just skipping voting.

I think Handel is a fat right wing nutter, and not very bright.

I felt like Ossoff was phony and a dweeb.

Which is a marked improvement to Ossof's atrocious ad 100% devoid of any policy whatsoever.

AND OSSOF HAD TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!!!

agreed

my man Tucker Carlson knows what's up

planned parenthood spent 750k on ossof lol

yes, and Ryan will win the primary and general

though I wish he'd lose the primary

I'd say "lol abortionists," but abortion is no laughing matter.

I feel like the whole coal miners losing their jobs thing (obviously doesn't have anything to do with the GA 6th) is such a great opportunity for a collaboration between the government and private industry. Maybe something like energy companies (be they coal, solar, whatever) hire coal workers who are losing their jobs (or other people who are losing their jobs from other shrinking industries) and local/state/federal governments subsidize the costs of training or pay the companies for their first year's salary or some **** like that.

There have been moments where I've thought about it, but then I remembered how much I would hate campaigning and how much I would hate being an elected official if I won.

They already have programs that do that, though they are pretty small scale. Trump's budget guts those programs

THIS

"Cutting government waste" is one of the best coded phrases ever because to Democrats it means helping the government run efficiently by reading Drucker and applying business school management techniques to work flows to reduce turn around time blah blah blah etc and to Republicans to means cutting taxes and making the the poor, sick, and minorites starve, die, or lead miserable lives while giving tanks to police to quell the ensuing anger.

I'm in a similar boat. I've considered running but my concern is less hating the job and more "I do not have the fundraising chops to be able to have enough money to compete in the slightest."

Wrong. Trump is popular among those who voted for Handel. Embracing Trump would have only increased her margin of victory.
