It is becoming abundantly clear that even if the GOP loses badly in November, they will improve with black voters by at least 3-5%.

lol no it isn't

Black voters aren't going to be 90% Dem forever. Between the first step act and the GOP's move away from Randian economics, black voters will begin to switch.

Literally zero evidence of the above shifting the margins with AA voters (democrats just did better than Hillary in AA-majority Milwaukee for the Supreme Court Race!) or polling suggesting any movement to Republicans beyond maybe 1-2%. Also, the first step act passed with way more democratic votes than Republican votes. The idea that people will solely credit republicans for that is incredibly dumb.

Why does the Atlanta region have so many DINOs?

On one hand, these are fairly common situations when you have 90% of a large constituency clustered within one party. When 90% of a community is in one party, you're bound to have loads of people with terrible beliefs on one issue or another. It's a good reason why so many GOP state caucuses where they achieved supermajority status can't seem to agree on much of anything.

On the other hand, this is Vernon Jones, who has been known as a long-time pariah in Georgia Democratic politics (as an example, he's the only Democrat who comes to mind who managed not only to lose a statewide primary runoff despite coming in 1st in the first round, but actually got a smaller vote share in the runoff). His name recognition in Dekalb (and now Rockdale) is the only reason he's managed to get back in office time after time, and it'll be the only thing that can (and probably will) save him this time. His opponent has a lot of party and community organizing history in Rockdale, though (which is >60% of the district), so we'll see. The state party will put everything they can into helping her, I imagine.

Do you really think he has a shot to win again? He has full-throatedly endorsed one of the hated politicians among AA's, and furthermore it has gotten fairly extensive coverage. I imagine that Taylor will basically be to flip any voter she can manage to contact.
