Sad how much money Democrats are spending on some bland candidate in a district that is more Democratic than the median district.

This bland candidate is doing much better in this district than some random Berniecrat you would've rallied behind.

That's correct, considering that there's no way the DNCC would've lifted a finger to help elect a Sanders ally in a special election, thus rendering the campaign of "some random Berniecrat" doomed from the start.
Oh my f-ing god can we stop this?! Please? Ossoff is fine just cause Bernie doesn't drool on him doesn't make him bad and not every "Berniecrat" who runs is some pathetic nobody who the DNC shouldn't help

My opinion of Jon Ossoff isn't at all related to Sanders' comments regarding his questionable progressive credentials or whatnot; after all, Sanders and OR have made plenty of questionable endorsements in the past. That being said, the fact that the Democratic Party is putting far more resources into a seat like GA-06 as opposed to somewhere like Montana is a testament to how far the party has fallen.
Yeah why is the GOP wasting it's time in a senate seat in Massachusetts man the party has fallen. Also most of Ossoff money is coming from small donations an on top of that unlike Quist Ossoff has a possible big future in the party if he wins

Fallen? It is called being smart, GA-06 is the exact type of seat they are going to have to win in 2018 to regain the house.

God grief, we are ****ed. People don't even know what the playing field looks like.

The part of the post you bolded was merely me lamenting the fact that the Democratic Party has become a party that labels working people "deplorables" and puts the near-entirety of its resources into winning over affluent suburbanites in places like GA-06. If we're indeed "****ed", then it's because the Party leadership has lost touch with - and derides - the natural base of any respectable left-wing party.
Oh please Hillary wasn't calling "working people" that she was calling Trump's hardcore base that which a lot are have you seen Breitbart or Infowars? They are heavly race baiting minorities in articles or heck 4chan ground zero of Trump support is a borderline neo-Nazi website

How many more districts could the Democrats get if they spent that money on getting anti gerrymandering propositions on the ballot like the one California passed? Sad!
Again Ossoff is getting his money from small donations
