Special Election - 6th Congressional District (Decatur, Washington: HOA, ferry, location)

[whodean]

Osoff is being exposed as a too young light weight. He only talks about Trump. He'll get this 42% and lose the runoff.

Ossoff may not be the greatest candidate ever but Democrats are hungry for almost any kind of win in Georgia.

Ossoff is being propped up in the 6th by big money Dems outside the state because capturing a traditionally conservative district in Georgia would be a huge symbolic win for them going into the midterms. They're testing the waters to see how deep anti-Trump sentiment really runs among white Conservatives and are hoping that they'll find Ossoff's earnest, eager, fresh-off-the farm (and lily-white) appearance palatable enough to induce them to vote for him.

Well I hope they realize it's enough to turn off people who might have voted for a Dem in this district. He might as well be a Republican. There were Republicans in that debate who were morons of course, but I'd take two or three of them over Ossoff. I can't throw my support behind a representative who seems to only be able to see people as numbers and express their value in terms of economic productivity. Those are some pretty serious signs of being out of touch with reality. In this district I wouldn't be surprised if he wins, honestly, and somehow white liberals are going to see that as some kind of a victory when you're just swapping out one corporate politician for another.

bryant, you should get out there and fight for good Republicans like the ones in N.C. who think it's important for you to use the bathroom of your birth gender, regardless of how you may actually live now.

Good solid Republicans who make no bones about ending a woman's right to choose, getting creationism into the curriculum, bombing the ******** out of our enemies and firing up those coal plants again.

That'll show those durn white liberals!

The 6th is a fairly affluent district so a Bernie type of liberal who is extremely antagonistic toward business and capitalism is probably not going to play well here.

So refuse to vote for the Democrat who will be at least decent and ensure that a Republican who will certainly be horrible will get elected. That's the same Bernie Bro logic that is partly to blame for Clinton's loss last year.

You have no idea he will be decent. The guy hasn't articulated anything and has no track record of which to speak.

You blinded by the (D), bro.

And Clinton lost because she was an awful candidate and most undecided voters hated her and the dishonest, rigged manner she won the primary. Look at the numbers and apply reason. Blaming the Bernie supporters is lazy and inaccurate.

It's not all or nothing. The Bernie or Bust people not voting for Clinton was a necessary but not sufficient condition for her loss.

Her general unlikeability, bad press with the FBI thing in the closing week, and Trump's specific appeal to blue collar rust belt workers on trade were the other factors.

His stated priorities are in line with what I'd expect of a left of center representative. And he's worked in Washington and has at least a basic understanding of how Capitol Hill works. That's a stronger track record than the latest guy who won the presidency.
