Ossoff just lost any chances of reelection yesterday

[Duke of York]

i doubt its even an issue in 2026.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

It's certainly not going to help him in a game of inches against the state's most popular politician.

[New World Man]

It won't matter one way or another.

[Joe Biden 2028]

Ossoff is Jewish who has family that survived the Holocaust.

Bringing this vote would be really dumb (or maybe really smart if we are that far gone).

Huh?

Saying that he's anti-Israel/jewish will backfire unless people really have become that racist.

[Pretzel]

Ossoff is a hero with extreme courage, as are all the other Senators who voted for Bernie’s resolution. American bombs should not be used for genocide. Extremely disheartening to see the zionist uniparty’s victory though, Israel is an genocidal nation run by criminal murderers.

This.

Indeed.

And Jewish Americans are culturally different than Israeli Jews these days, they live in a way different environment for many decades now.

[GALeftist]

Very proud my senators did the right thing. If you think Georgian Jews are going to vote against our first Jewish senator over this you are a total fool lol

[Progressive Pessimist]

Right, because now Americans will suddenly have savant-like memories in 2026.

[Lief 🗽]

Really stupid thing to do for Ossoff. Very few of the rabidly anti-Israel folks that would agree with this are going to be voting in a midterm anyway, but this will anger a lot of high propensity voters.

Are Jews really that much of a presence in Georgia to where it would matter?

[GAinDC]

Georgia has about 130,000 Jewish people

This is a strategic decision, and the right one. Trump and Netanyahu will likely escalate this conflict and cause more deaths. With the change in US leadership, Democrats should not enable two warmongers who have kept this war going on for their own political survival.

Biden was negotiating in good faith, and Dems trying to cut off all support for Israel then would have undercut those negotiations. Under Trump, Dems don’t owe him or Bibi a damn thing.

[DrScholl]

Anything to simp for Brian Kemp's creepy, ugly, good old boy ass. Give me a mothering break with this BS. In a Trump midterm Ossoff will be fine because as we saw with several swing states Trump cultists didn't even bother to vote downballot. What makes you think they are turning out for Kemp?

[Horus]

This will not hurt him at all.

That goes for the economy too. Republicans are now going to be on the wrong side of what happens when a party is in power, except the midterms will be worse for them.

[Schumer can go f*** himself!]

No one will care about this.

[New World Man]

What happened to "America First"?

[David Hume]

i doubt its even an issue in 2026.

Few voters would remember/care, but AIPAC and other lobby groups would.

AIPAC was gonna oppose Ossoff anyway.

[Averroës]

There will be plenty of votes in the anti-entanglement camp, even among people who aren't particularly sympathetic to Palestine. (Odds are this will be the most important angle if this vote is remembered for much. More political careers are destroyed by votes for war than by votes for peace.) Besides, if you can't vote your conscience on a bill like this, what the hell are you doing in the US Senate?

Imagine thinking that AIPAC is left-wing.
