Obama's involvement in the 2022 midterms...

[brucejoel99]

Stop conveniently ignoring nearly every single question that you've been asked about your cowardice, you coward. AMA means "Ask Me Anything," not "Ask Me (Almost) Anything (& I'll Conveniently Ignore the Questions That I Don't Like Because Their Very Existence Proves That I'm Nothing but a Hypocritical Coward)."

There, now that that's out of the way...

Why didn’t you leave the forum after Ossoff and Warnock won? Are you a coward, if so are we allowed to refer to you as “Coward Woodbury” from now on?

I don't recognize their victory.

... And? The office charged with the responsibility of supervising elections in the state of Georgia - their Secretary of State's office - certified their victories: Jon Ossoff received 54,944 more votes than David Perdue & so was duly elected to serve as U.S. Senator for the state of Georgia's Class II Senate seat for a term through noon on Jan. 3rd, 2027, & Raphael Warnock received 93,272 more votes than Kelly Loeffler & so was duly elected to serve as U.S. Senator for the state of Georgia's Class III Senate seat for a term through noon on Jan. 3rd, 2023. The certification of their victories were recorded in the Congressional Record. They were sworn-in as U.S. Senators by the Vice President of the United States. 7 public laws have already been enacted on the basis of their votes in the U.S. Senate. Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader & Pat Leahy is the President-pro-tempore - &, thus, now a member of what's literally a statutorily-dictated presidential line of succession - thanks to the fact that Ossoff & Warnock won election to the seats which they now hold in the U.S. Senate.

They won, Woodbury. They're recognized under law as having won. They're both U.S. Senators now, representing Georgia. So, do feel free to enlighten us by telling us just what in the utter hell you mean by "[you] don't recognize their victory."

And while we're at it, let's take a moment to remind everyone of exactly what your explicit promise - to me, no less - was:

I am saying it right now: If either Ossoff or Warnock wins, I'll leave the forum for 1 solid year.

Promise?

Sure. Take a screencap right now.

Let it be noted that you didn't say "If either Ossoff or Warnock wins, I'll leave the forum for 1 solid year if & only if I choose to recognize their victory." No, that's not at all what you said. What you said - & I quote you here - was that "If either Ossoff or Warnock wins, I'll leave the forum for 1 solid year." Period. No if's, no &'s, & no but's about it. Period. Periodt.

Woodbury, please do us all a favor & either honor your word by shutting the f**k up on this website for a whole year, or continue to be - as you've been since the runoff results were declared - nothing but a miserable, pathetic coward who's deserving of a negative amount of respect from your fellow users of the Atlas Talk Elections Forum.

If there was no irregularities & depressed R-turn out due to Georgian election officials not doing anything to guarantee to the conservatives that the November election truly was "legitimate" I would have seen that as a legitimate victory, but this was simply unfair. What we conservatives are doing is like boycotting & not recognizing elections like in 3rd world authoritarian countries.

Not only did GA literally hold its 1st-ever risk-limiting audit (which entailed each & every single county hand-recounting each & every single cast vote), but the order to do so was unilaterally issued on the Secretary of State's part without there having been any legal need whatsoever for him to even do so in the 1st place. So, now you're a lying liar who tells lies in addition to the miserable, pathetic coward deserving of a negative amount of respect that you already were beforehand.

Face it, Woodbury: there were no legitimate irregularities, & Republican turn-out was only depressed so much because your gOd-EmPeRoR was so butthurt over losing the election that he spent 2 months in a row doing almost nothing except actively delegitimizing elections in general - & Georgian elections in particular - & saying that his voters' votes didn't matter since everything was & is just so obviously rIgGeD against them. As it turns out, enough of his voters listened. But none of that does anything to change the fact that Ossoff & Warnock were the legitimate victors of a free & fair election.

Now, to quote that beloved gOd-EmPeRoR of yours (not that I ever wanted to in anyway whatsoever): "you can either go down in history as a patriot" & honor your word like a man by making good on your promise to leave the forum for a whole year, "or you can go down in history as a pussy" by continuing to be nothing but a miserable, pathetic, & now lying coward.

We have 8 years of evidence that Obama should be kept as far away from downballot races as possible

I hate to post legitimate commentary in a Woodbury thread, but tbf, at least his midterm campaigning in 2018 was good.
