I've said it on this subforum a hundred times and ill say it again, the only reason GA isnt a swing state is because the democrats are unwilling to turn it into one.

financially racist posted:i swear to god if the dems don't properly take advantage of the kind of attitudes that are leading to poo poo like this race being as close as it is i am done with the party. they absolutely have to keep doing with other dems what they are doing with ossoff even if it's a district they likely won't win. I think the fact that they dumped this much effort and money into it shows they'd going on the offensive. The real questions are: 1. If they lose will they have the will power to keep putting oressure in solid red districts and 2. Will they use this as an excuse to ignore the leftist part of the party (yes)

financially racist posted:yeah this is true, i just hope they stay pissed. relying on dem voters is, uh, well it's as bad a strategy as relying on the party itself tbh if the national level party doesn't support them then they should get chewed out by every state and local level party regardless of outcome

Cobweb Heart posted:I'm just a know-nothing retard but it seems to me like the Democrats have a solid liberalized foothold in the coastal, populous side of states like California and Washington, and have had for decades and most likely will continue to have one for years, so maybe the smart thing would have been working on all the red states people like to poo poo on to make the Democrat wings there powerful and well-known. It seems like when it comes to boosting red Dems they sort of accept the status quo and it makes them always look weak and worthless. The dnc dumb as hell and tries to appeal to moderate republicans instead of the real majority in red states: people who don't vote.

Azathoth posted:This is only correct if you assume that a candidate, at worst, can do no harm, and that's just plain not true. Even in solidly red areas, there are local and state legislature races that can absolutely be hosed up by an embarrassing campaign immediately above them on the ballot. If the campaign turns into an embarrassment or a farce, you risk driving down voters for winnable down-ballot races. it's also why the DNC get rightfully shat on by other democrats, since it doesnt matter what your local parties staces are, a lot people will look at the national level and immediately associate their idiocy with whoever has a D next to their name

the fact that the democrats are putting ANY effort into a southern state should be endlessly praised so they keep loving doing it. You think the turnout last night was a good showing? Now imagine how it would have been if the democrats had been pushing in that region over the course of the last decade.

axeil posted:Also I did the math and Ossoff needs 3,653 more votes to win outright. The other Dems got 1,521 votes so he's already close to halfway there. alternately he only needs that many repubs to not turn out. The election can go either way.
