Bernie says the current Democratic strategy is an "absolute failure".

Whereas Ossoff is struggling to make it to the finish line even with all the money thrown his way and a terrible quality candidate.

Yeah, there are just about no indications of this whatsoever. His average lead in the polls has consistently risen since the first round was held, he's capturing not just most of the independent vote but also a good percentage of Republicans (with virtually no observable crossover, i.e. no Dems are going to Handel), and he's turning out thousands of people in that district who have never voted before. So I'm not quite sure what you're basing this off of. If you're referencing how close the race is, then well... duh. That's to be expected in Newt Gingrich's former district. It's historically Republican, and despite Hillary's improvement there it still leans R. That's why Ossoff hasn't gone all gung-ho progressive 'we need single payer and free college and we need it now!' That doesn't make him an unprincipled person or a coward. It makes him smart and pragmatic.

Definitely too much money in the election, though, you're right about that. On both sides. It's obscene.

Ossoff's rhetoric is much like that of Hillary, and by that logic, he shouldn't merely have an edge, he should be running away with it given all the funds he's got, the awful candidate with a dumpster fire campaign, Trump's unpopularity in the area, and charisma.

Despite current conditions which make the district more hospitable to a Democrat, GA-06 is still heavily Republican. It's weird to acknowledge in the case of Quist the partisan bend of Montana and contextualize his loss (you said he exceeded expectations, which he did) and yet be so unwilling to extend the same courtesy to Ossoff. Yes, things have changed, but it's still Georgia and it's going to be an uphill battle for any Dem candidate.
