Stacey Abrams may well hand us Georgia... again.

[sheshe2]

We got the State and she may well give us the Senate.



KICK AND RECOMMEND!

SWEET GEORGIA

[left-of-center2012]

1. Is there not enough credit to go around?

[PTWB]

3. In this particular case she deserves the lion's share.

[sheshe2]

5. She sure the hell does.

Thank you so much, PTWB.

[PTWB]

21. You're welcome!

There have been few times in my life that I have been as proud of a politician as I am of Stacey Abrams and her efforts in Georgia to overcome decades of GOP suppression of minority voters. She's one of the most inspiring and effective leaders I've ever seen.

[sheshe2]

22. I agree.

She lost a race. She didn't whine.

She stayed in Georgia and fought for her people. Every last one of them.

[ananda]

50. I know!

I admire her so much!

[North Shore Chicago]

56. "She lost a race. She didn't whine."

Not too certain she ACTUALLY lost. I believe there were voter suppression shenanigans yet to be dug up. But, will the Dems eventually grow some ovaries and fight back, real hard?!

[LanternWaste]

62. As you suggested in another thread...

"Is there not enough credit to go around?"

As you yourself suggested in another thread... feel free to start an OP focusing on those things you think should get more credit.

[Irish_Dem]

2. If she delivers the Senate, I vote we become a monarchy and make her Queen of the World. nt

[left-of-center2012]

6. So, what about Biden ?

[Irish_Dem]

10. He can become prime minister. But Stacey gets to wear a diamond tiara every day.

[StarfishSaver]

35. I like the way your brain works!

[Irish_Dem]

38. Ha, thanks! :)

[StarfishSaver]

74. No matter what she decides to do next

Stacey definitely deserves to wear a diamond tiara every single day for the rest of her life.

[Irish_Dem]

77. Yes indeed. She brings home GA she is Queen for the Day every day. nt

[BComplex]

68. I'm totally with you, Irish_Dem!!! Stacey Abrams is an awesome leader. She is

leading the charge against fascism, racism, sexism, and whatever other isms we don't like: she's got this!!!

[Irish_Dem]

71. She is a wonderful rising star. nt

[sheshe2]

17. How does Stacey take away fom Biden ansd Harris?

[Upthevibe]

31. left-of-center2012

Biden wouldn't have won Georgia without Stacey Abrams. You may not be aware of everything she's done....

[sheshe2]

33. Correct, I thank you.

[LanternWaste]

63. You then believe we should vote in Biden as queen of the world?

[Irish_Dem]

69. Stacy would look stunning in a diamond tiara, just cannot picture Joe in one.

He stays prime minister.

It' my alternative reality and I am sticking to it.

[Ligyron]

72. Hand of the Queen.

Then we'd really get some progressive policies cooking on the front burner.

[Irish_Dem]

73. That would be wonderful. nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. I second that!

[onetexan]

39. Third that!

All hail the awesome Fair Fight warrior - the fearsome, quintessential Ms. Adams

[StClone]

8. Queen-O-My-Heart!

[Eyeball_Kid]

44. Both races are very tight.

That’s according to a survey released today. It’s actually stunning that so many Georgians are voting for those two elitist GOPers, but these are indeed strange times.

[Irish_Dem]

45. One word: Racism. nt

[RDANGELO]

4. Her and Trump.

She is definitely a great leader. It's a shame she lost that election.

[onetexan]

41. Stacey didn't lose it. It was stolen from her by her crooked opponent, then SoS

[RMVet]

57. You're right about that!

But did she whine, file lawsuits, spout conspiracy theories? No! She hit the streets, organized, and helped turn Georgia blue. She's still working...for us. Makes me wonder if she lost for a reason!? Can't see her accomplishing as much as she has if she were governor. Great work, Stacey!

[CatMor]

9. If anyone can do it Stacey can

[DonaldsRump]

11. She is wonderful.

Yes, a lot of people helped. But the fact of the matter is that Bill Clinton was the last Democratic presidential candidate to win GA, and that was 28 years ago. It was Stacey Abrams-led Fair Fight, AFAIK, that tipped the balance to Joe and Kamala in 2020.

Stacey Abrams was robbed of being Governor of Georgia 2 years ago. Fair Fight is her vengeance and her gift to us.

Her eloquence and energy know no bounds. She is a genuine American hero and role model for everyone of us.

[sheshe2]

12. Everything you said.

Perfect. Thank you.

[calimary]

37. I hope Biden finds something great for her to do!

Run the DNC maybe? Replace Tom Perez?

[DonaldsRump]

49. She would be great there

However, she's announced she is running for Georgia governor in 2022.

[StarfishSaver]

75. NO! Not the DNC!

Heading the DNC under a Democratic president is a functionary position - the president's team really runs it and the DNC Chair has very little power or say in anything. The DNC just follows orders. DNC Chair would be a major demotion for her.

[MustLoveBeagles]

13. I really hope so for a number of reasons

On a side note, that's a great picture of her.

[WA-03 Democrat]

15. +1 awesome shot n/t

[WA-03 Democrat]

14. Poetic Justice on So Many Levels

Stacey is playing the long game. Changing the system from within. For her to be the one who closes the door on Trumpism would be a righteous ending.

Trump pisses off the GA SOS and Governor Kemp who oversaw his own election against Abrams while serving as SOS. Basically now Kemp and Stacey are the same to the Dotard. How the guy with his thumb on the scale is now against the guy who wants to kill the scale.

[The Roux Comes First]

18. I Might Offer Edit, Replacing "Oversaw &etc." With "Cheated to Defeat"

The guv seems to have been good and scummy until it came to actually breaking the law in plain (not Plains, GA) sight. I don't think we need to give him a whole lot o props for anything at this point other than wanting to be remembered as an actual sapiens. Which is not nothing, I admit. See turtle, et al.

[Guilded Lilly]

16. Enthusiastic KICK. Because she totally rocks!!

[The Roux Comes First]

19. Fabulous Photo

Of one of our recent superstars.

[Irish_Dem]

40. Stunning pic yes. nt

[aikoaiko]

20. If we win both Senate seats, it will be because her leadership and working the exisiting system

I'd like to say she'd be able to win the Governorship, but the Republicans are going to fuck with the voting systems for sure because they control the GA houses and Governorship.

[Eyeball_Kid]

46. The races are so tight,

Dems could lose both races. I don’t understand why it’s so close. But it is.

[niyad]

23. Do you suppose that kemp is kicking himself now for stealing the governorship from her? That

old saying, "be careful what you wish for. You just might get it."

[sheshe2]

27. I would love to think so.

I doubt it though. Repukes never show remorse.

[StarfishSaver]

36. I've been wondering the same thing!

They may all be wishing they had just let her win the governor's seat where she would have been too busy governing to have time to organize the kickiest of kickass grassroots movements that turned the entire state upside down and paved the way for their party's destruction.

[Irish_Dem]

43. Now that he and his family are getting death threats, the thought might be crossing his mind.

Most likely it is crossing his wife's mind.

GOPers were fine when only Dem leaders were getting threatened.
Now it is their turn and they hate it.

[flamingdem]

24. I'm feeling it, what a hero!

[niyad]

25. I was just listening to Sandy and Richard Riccardi's live stream from Nov. 13, and they made a

point of suggesting that people donate to the GA. runoff through Stacey's Fair Fight. Mentioned it several times.

[marieo1]

26. Go Stacy

I really like this lady............she is so sharp and will get the job done.

[rainin]

28. Seems like Stacy Abrams would be a wonderful choice to someday fill Nancy Pelosi's shoes

if she were to ever want to serve in the House.

[moonscape]

29. I don't think she'd want to

be in the House, in the same way she didn’t want to run for the Senate. She felt it wasn’t in line with her skill set and interests which are more managerial, though she explained it far better of course. Governor really would be a better fit if she couldn’t have an important cabinet assignment.

Great photo!

[Iggo]

30. Hope so.

[Upthevibe]

32. sheshe2.....

I agree with you 100%

[budkin]

34. I love her

She’s amazing.

[RandySF]

42. She's great, but I am not optimistic

Those early voting lines look very white.

[sandensea]

47. Plus, Cheeto's practically threatening Kemp and Raffensperger to give it to Looter and Perdue

"I know your state is full of stupid rednecks - and they know where you live!"

(or words to that effect)

[JI7]

51. Either way, Georgia will now be a state that Republicans will have to fight for instead being one of

of the reliably red states .

[Hermit-The-Prog]

48. Let me add a plug for Fair Fight ...

52. Yay for Stacey Abrams...

smart, determined, compassionate.

When I donated to Ossof, and Warnock, I also donated to her voting organization.

That's a beautiful photo of her.
She's brimming with Life!

[Withywindle]

53. She's amazing!!

[brer cat]

54. Make it so!

She deserves most of the credit for GA turning blue.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

55. She is one seriously determined and amazing woman.

[sheshe2]

59. Yes she is.

[lunatica]

58. And she's doing it coming from behind!

From nowhere close to an equal footing.

Ovaries of steel!

[sheshe2]

60. Love this!

Ovaries of steel!

[TNNurse]

61. My late Mother, a lifelong GA Democrat,

taught me that "Pretty is as Pretty does".

Stacey Abrams gets more beautiful every day.

[bucolic_frolic]

64. We can hope

But when was the last time Democrats showed strength and resolve in a Senate election?

I'll believe it when I see it.

[FakeNoose]

65. She should be the rightful Governor of Georgia

It was stolen from her.

Just sayin'

[AllyCat]

66. Beautiful, smart, selfless woman!

I love her!

[George II]

67. She's almost personally responsible for tens of thousands of new voters in Georgia, and also....

....helped reduce the number of voters stricken from the rolls.

We can't appreciate her enough.

[sheshe2]

78. Yes she is.

I thank you, George.

[Lucinda]

70. Her work is essential and exceptional - but the voters went out and voted

Many stood in lines for hours and hours - they did and are doing the work of delivering their state

[Laura PourMeADrink]

79. Of course!!! Every single person who voted will help win us the senate! This idolization of

one person to such a crazy nth degree is very counterproductive imho.
