Voting is not magic, we dont get everything we want when we win elections. It is medicine and weve got to keep taking it.

(16,928 posts)she's an amazing, brilliant woman who got robbed (this one was for real!) by your current governor when he erased/stole so many voters from the election (gee, where have we heard THAT idea before?).
I've sent money to support her campaign - we (not just Georgia, but ALL of America) NEED her to be a leader for her party, her state, and her country!

(10,011 posts)We need her organizing skills to finally turn Texas blue. Beto is working hard, but he faces an uphill battle to overcome the votes of the rural crazies as well as the cheating Republicans are planning.

the unis have no excuse. all it would take is for her or someone with clout to question it in public and advertisers will head for the hills, putting the only unique advantage republicans have in jeopardy. the radio ad cos would have to try to break up the monopoly before they lost too many advertisers.
the extra attention from media and activists would expose the republicans secret weapon and kemp would have no chance. and if a few unis did it others around the country would follow.

(4 posts)I think what makes her such a formidable candidate is she can move to the center and keep the base. Obama is another example of this skill. Democrats go wrong when they do the feak out cancelling whining snowflake stuff and become progressive purists absolutists. They do much better when they focus on bread and butter issues and defend labor against management. That means not attacking stand up comedians and acting like knee jerk reactionary thin skinned Karens. Look up "Daphne Dorman" for a good example of what I am talking about. These zealots have turned progressives into a joke. It is a serious turn off and will cost us politically in a big way.
