Georgia's Very Own Megathread! (v2)

[Politician]

Kemp is and always will be an illegitimate Governor.

How?

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 Pragmatic Republican. Reasonable Pragmatic 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.

At this point, I've given up trying to be nice to my detractors on here. Given how they have behaved, they don't deserve any respect from me.

MUH AD HOMINEM ATTACKS

I'm pretty sure if a Democrat had illegitimately won an election by 1% you would be fuming "THE EVUL SOCIALIST DEMONCRATS STOLE THE ELECTION FROM MUH RIGHTFUL REPUBLICAN WINNER"

Republicans will win the SOS runoff. Barrow might come as close as Abrams did, but I doubt that he actually pulls it off.

Barrow has to remember the old hicks who actually care about the secretary of state position remember that one ad with the gun and the lynching or whatever.

The fact his grandpa stopped a lynching probably hurts barrow

And Barrow will not make up any losses in the Atlanta metro area, compared to Abrams, in rural Georgia. He only barely outperformed her in the rural areas in the first place. This will be a Republican hold.

This is factually incorrect.

It's Calthrina, what do you expect?

[Politician]

I don't know if we should call this one yet tbh - the early vote in GA strongly favors Republicans.

[Politician]

The man who pointed a gun at a teenager on television and had twelve black people arrested for registering people to vote is officially our Governor!

Calthrina's new favorite governor.

Neoliberal Gwinnett county votes against joining MARTA.

I told you guys the suburbs were still Republican at .

1. Us neoliberals love public transit.
2. I don't think a county's true affiliations are determined by a March election intended to minimize turnout.

You’re talking to a guy who thinks Elliott County is more likely to go Dem in 2020 than Tarrant

1. It was a joke
2. I do NOT believe that.
