....where you are!" BINGO! That's exactly what most Democrats have been saying for several years.
Some Democrats in the Northeast can't win down South, and some Southern Democrats can't win in the Northeast.
Follow up - "Who do you want to see in Biden's administration?" (I paraphrased the question) "Joe Biden knows what he's doing and I leave it to him to decide!"
Damn, she is brilliant and focused.

Edit 2: the video is now available, I corrected my recollection of the quote - it wasn't much different.

(50,283 posts)She is laser focused on Georgia and working very hard on the Senate elections which, if successful, will change everything.
I also love that she doesn't seem to be focused on her popularity but, rather, is appreciative of any on-air time so she can focus the viewers on the important issues.

(50,283 posts)she founded Fair Fight Action to address voter suppression and that is after getting her law degree, becoming a published author, serving in the State House of Representatives for 10 years, 8 of them as Minority Leader.
Oh, and, this little accomplishment before all this; earning a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies (political science, economics, and sociology) from Spelman College, magna cum laude.
Damn, I thought I knew a fair amount about her but had no idea of this accomplishment; in 2002, at age 29, she was appointed the deputy city attorney for the City of Atlanta.
I'm completely exhausted just reading what she has and is doing, lol.
