The takeaway here is that candidate quality ultimately takes a backseat to the political circumstances of a given time.
The Ossoff of 2021 is also unquestionably a better candidate than the Ossoff of 2017.

I voted no in this poll, but I would change my vote to yes. I do feel sorry for Jon Ossoff.

Yes, he redeemed himself politically and won the Senate race. That's all cool. But just like the rest of us, Mr. Ossoff is battling demons in his private life. We may not know them, but we can relate to Jon Ossoff's suffering simply by reflecting on our own.

Only until empathy becomes a universal virtue, will humans be able to advance as a species and establish a new kingdom on earth. One governed not by greed and vanity, but by compassion and love of neighbor.

Brothers and sisters, it is time for us to come together, right now, over me.

This.

Also, to the extent that candidate quality mattered at all (very little probably, but in a 1-point race you never know what can make the difference), it seems quite clear to me that Ossoff did what few politicians seemed able to do and learn the right lessons from his defeat (don't run your whole campaign around "Orange Man Bad" and "I'm a safe moderate who appeals to The Suburbs Smiley", but instead make sure to appeal to African-Americans and focus simple, easy-to-understand policy items that materially benefit people). So in this sense Ossoff's defeat then was exactly what he needed.
