Planning to vote the 15th on the first day of early voting
I just voted for our next Governor and the entire Democratic slate today. Felt damn good!
You voted for Brian Kemp? I'm kind of surprised.
I’d rather run barefoot through a field of rusty nails.

This sounds like one of PPP's weird 2016 polls:

Which would you prefer?
a) Governor Kemp
b) Tetanus

The only reason he avoided a runoff is through massive voter suppression.
That poster prefers to be willfully ignorant about the calculated actions of the GOP to keep “unfavorables” from voting. Don’t even bother with her.

Of course, he's a Reasonable Smiley Smiley Smiley Pragmatic Smiley Smiley Smiley Republican. Reasonable Smiley Smiley Smiley Pragmatic Smiley Smiley Smiley Republicans' motto has always been "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".

RFKFan68's beloved Stacey Abrams lost. Given his nastiness on this forum, towards me and towards many others, I am actually glad that she did. Her classless concession speech only further confirms that impression with me. And once again, my gender has been confused...

You must see that gleeful schadenfreude over someone’s favourite candidate losing is exactly the kind of pearl-clutching ‘nastiness’ you decry so often. I’m sorry about the mistaken identity, but names with an ‘a’ suffix do imply female bearers in most English/French/Spanish cases, so it’s clearly an honest mistake.

Anyway, Abrams was well within her rights to wait and let a full picture of the race develop befor she conceded. Was she overconfident? Probably. But she knew she was running against a man who was inclined and willing to disenfranchise those who opposed him, and quite rightly felt wronged by the whole affair. And without a runoff in the picture, I imagine she’d have conceded a week ago.
