This is really the Russiagate chickens coming home to roost. So desperate to absolve Hillary Clinton for her disastrous campaign and lifetime of corruption and horribly unpopular cynical triangulating, Democrats seized on a few tens of thousands of dollars Russia maybe spent on Facebook ads as the reason why she lost. And rather than asking themselves questions like "if $12,000 spent by a few trolls barely familiar with American culture can swing an entire presidential election, how did she spend a billion dollars and manage to not succeed beyond anyone's wildest dreams", they've concluded that since no one could possibly be smarter and more effective than them, then spending money on effective outreach is "voter suppression" and that's cheating and that trying to win is bad because that's what the Russians do.

VitalSigns posted:Democrats are so addicted to losing and so contemptuous of the idea of even talking to a voter, that they think even engaging voters with reasons not to vote for the other guy is inherently suspicious and equivalent to poll taxes and Jim Crow. “B-B-BUT A DOG CAN’T PLAY BASKETBALL!!!” There is literally nothing in any rule book that says that you can’t advertise or message to voters. And if fibbing to them in that messaging is akin to Jim Crow then literally every politician who has ever lived including Bernie Sanders and the Senators of Rome are complicit. You can even tell them to go vote on the wrong date. Also if you tell a potential voter “Kemp doesn’t support Trump enough, you should punish him by writing in the president’s name” then you aren’t really lying. If I personally believed that Trump should be president again no matter what the facts say, then I would certainly feel like Kemp wasn’t doing enough to support him. All I see here in the voter supression wokescolding are a bunch of living, posting examples of why leftists get their teeth kicked in politically time and time again.

I didn’t think this Republican fracture strategy would actually work but after seeing Trump double and triple down on it including attacking Kemp, my left eyebrow is starting to raise

Trump is attacking Kemp but campaigning with Perdue & Loeffler. Dont be shocked if Kemp needs to step aside next gov election, but the party might still turn out for those two. Like I said before, its a possibility that this discontent outgrows Trump and backfires on conservative electoralism, but I'm still betting on it working out fine (besides Kemp, who will be flayed alive over a pit of skulls).

for the record, I think it's good to reduce racist participation. suppressing racist and classist voices is good. I just think it's a complete 180 from the typical "Vote. [this space left intentionally blank]" which is typical, beyond even the "vote for the D, because the R is an extremist" project Lincoln type campaign. and that makes it kind of a funny leap to me when it is finally broached for a candidate who, outside of the circumstances, is rather unremarkable. Please dont take that I'm actually sincerely scolding anyone for convincing racists to keep their heads down on principle.

The PAC/website at the bottom of that billboard is a pro-Warnock/Ossoff site. Just so we're all in on the gag. The Wrong Way sign was the part that was too on-the-nose for me.

Filled out the sheet, will deliver it tomorrow / today depending on how pedantic you want to be about personal perception of a day vs AM PM. Honestly those billboards are really funny, and stabbing a big weakness in the GOP that's just formed. I think it's a great idea.

Telling them the wrong place to go vote is bad voter suppression. Telling them to not vote is.... The point of campaigning I think? I think the terms here have been a bit confused.

What's really funny about this conversation is that VS's rant about Dem's being so allergic to winning they think even talking to voters is beneath them and that this is a sign of their obsession with proving that losing isn't ever their own fault... was in response to a poster who was explicitly mocking the notion of telling Republicans not to vote as typical Dem tactics and included shots about how supporting Ossoff is a waste of time because he's "pre-compromised," and therefore worthless. Have we finally reached the stage of Lib Hatred on this board where being a Democrat is so inarguably the worst possible thing you can be that everything one dislikes is inherently Dem by its very nature?

Hopefully this gets to Trump and he internalizes that the Senators aren't going to bat for him, so why should he reciprocate?

Powell wouldn't have been fired if this had an iota of a chance of happening. Anyways, the two grifters-of-a-grifter are probably not going to be able to drown out Trump campaigning with Loeffler & Chicken Tenders. She's clearly working off parasitic clout as Rogue Defender of Trump, which will likely have a diminished return when they're actively working towards opposite goals.

I was as well, but it seems like even with that fuckery we ended up turning Georgia Blue in the Presidential election and may do it in the congressional run-off, too. Most of that was via vote by mail/absentee ballot.
