Marcus Flowers: "It's official! I'm running for Congress against Marjorie Taylor Greene." Great ad!

(edit: the person who referenced him on Twitter called him Jones, his name is Flowers. Sorry!)

1. Excellent ad!

Let's get it done!

[Irish_Dem]

2. Very impressive.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. Wow, I will be sending him some cash, he is fabulous!

[Dream Girl]

6. Imimmedialy sent him a bit of cash. I'll see how it goes and send more...

[lagomorph777]

4. Wow! Man-crush here.

[Karma13612]

9. 🤣

Yea, he is fine looking!

And his message is fabulous!

Let’s get it done!!!

[mcar]

5. That's a good start!

[MagickMuffin]

7. Ummmm, the sweet sweet smell of Flowers

Great ad Marcus. May you defeat the White Supremacist RussianQ dipshit out of congress.

[KS Toronado]

17. "The sweet smell of Flowers"

He should incorporate this slogan into his campaign.

[Laelth]

8. Nice. Very nice. Hard to say "no" to that.

My only concern is that Margarine Greene’s district is awfully white. Mr. Flowers is not.

That said, I would support him out of principle.

10. The ad is impressive.

What do Georgia DUers think about the race so far?

Sparked by Greene’s polarizing persona, the race for the seat is fast getting crowded. Flowers is one of at least four Democrats who have filed paperwork to challenge Greene, and several Republicans are eyeing the race as well.

They see an opening after Greene was exiled from two committees in an extraordinary rebuke last month for her support of extremist ideology, which has included support for the QAnon conspiracy, remarks suggesting the Sept. 11 attacks were plotted by the government and claims that a Jewish cabal used an orbital laser beam to spark a deadly wildfire.

31. I think that Greene will keep the seat.

If Jesus, himself, ran as a Democrat in that district, he would lose.

I hope that I am wrong.

[LakeArenal]

11. I'll admit I'm not in the MTG loop.

Her term is only two years?

[lagomorph777]

14. As a Member of the House, yes - two years for all Members.

[LakeArenal]

15. I didn't know that. Thanks. Learn something everyday.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Georgia needs Marcus Flowers!

So does the United States of America.

[brooklynite]

13. R+27 District, Greene won by almost 50 points.

The voters got what they wanted. I’ll focus my attention on the incumbents we have to protect and the winnable tossup districts.

[NEOBuckeye]

18. People like Greene win because no one opposes them

Granted, it may be an uphill battle in that district, but we need to support candidates in every district, in all 50 states.

Besides, look at what Stacey Abrams accomplished in what so many used to write off as a “red” state.

We may not win everywhere, every time, but if we play it safe, we are certain to lose.

[brooklynite]

29. Its not a question of playing it safe; its a question of allocating finite assets

If you have $2.3 M you can give the maximum contribution to every Democratic candidate. If not, you have to prioritize WHICH races to support. The dollar you give to Greene's opponent is a dollar you can't give to a vulnerable Democratic incumbent or more competitive challenger.

Consider the Koch Brothers; they didn't win by wasting money on competitors to Nancy Pelosi or Bernie Sanders; they spent picking off Democrats in seats that were competitive.

[Laelth]

32. +1 n/t

[Initech]

28. Greene won because her opponent dropped out after getting death threats.

Mr. Flowers should weaponize this fact against her.

[brooklynite]

35. 2018: Republican wins by 53%

2016: Republican wins by 63%
2014: Republican unopposed.

This is not a competitive seat.

[Jose Garcia]

34. He'll raise a sh*t-ton of money and not come close to winning

[MLAA]

16. Damnnnn...now that's a great ad!

[patphil]

19. Wow! This guy's got what it takes. Looking foward to his 2022 campaign.

[Politicub]

20. This ad is a preview of what's to come across the country as ads heat up for the midterms.

[sarchasm]

21. Extremely muscular ad, and candidate. I like it.

Red meat for the carnivores on either side. The only thing missing was the explosion walk away.

MTG: I'm a patriot!
Flowers: Hold my beer.

[Vinca]

22. Wow! That guy is impressive! Definitely "cashworthy."

[Pepsidog]

23. Let's see the traitors call this guy a snowflake.

[SergeStorms]

24. My first 2022 donation.

Here we go again. He sounds like a fine candidate to get MTG (Q-Georgia) out of our government. Once a month until he WINS, and he's going to beat her hands down.

[TygrBright]

25. Are there... cowboys... in Georgia?

Just wondering why he's wearing a hat that would look more congruent if he was running in Montana or Colorado...

NOT criticizing the man or his message, which is very powerful!

But does the cowboy hat thing work in GA, too?

curiously,
Bright

[Ilsa]

33. A few, but I suspect the roundups don't take long.

There are cattle ranches in Georgia, but I have no idea how large they are.

[diverdownjt]

26. Can they do a recall on her right away?

[BGBD]

27. DO NOT SEND THIS CAMPAIGN CASH!!!!!!

Please, learn from your previous mistakes. Don't fund hopeless campaigns. MTG's only chance to lose this district is in the primary, not in the general. She'll win by 40+ points against this guy.

Spend your money in competitive districts that we can defend or flip back after losing them in 2020.

[marmar]

30. You do what works for you.

[BGBD]

36. I have an idea

Take your money out back and light it on fire. It will help Democrats win just as much.

You beat MTG by making sure she doesn't become part if the majority. You aren't going to beat her in that district with a democrat.

38. Hey I

feel as though I will be helping him by monetary donations, just like Ossof and Warnock.

Let's do this.
