How long before the scary black man rhetoric rears its ugly head? Given how racist his district is, I don't know how much of a shot he's got,but I like taking the fight straight to this wanna be bully.

(3,983 posts)We need to seriously support whoever gets to run against her. She is toxic, & needs to be ostracized to the 1000%.
C'mon Georgia, show us you can tell the real deal from the phony Q'anon deal!

(4,351 posts)Let them just have it as a freebie? That would be a horrible look for the party. Even if we were to lose but brought that +27 to maybe +10 would be a huge statement.

They like the Q lady because she is a racist, antisemitic, homophobic bigot.

I will remind you of Dr. Gov. dean's 50 state strategy.

(6,451 posts)This is the white trash part. NO Dem can win this particular district. If you want to give to GA DEMS money to Lucy McBath or Raphael Warnock, They both have tough reelections coming up

(29,436 posts)who haven't lost their minds over Q. This ad takes exactly the right tone for that group.
And that money could be spent in a district that is R+6. A reach but not impossible. An R+27 district is impossible. It would be like the Bronx voting Republican.
The last time this part of Georgia was Democratic was when Sherman came through, and during Jim Crow. After 1964 they went Republican.

(52,017 posts)Walt Minnick was a Democrat who served in Congress from Idaho ten years after Idaho became Christofascist Hell. Never say theres no chance we can win.
We have two advantages in this race: the Democrat is a veteran, and the Republican is not only a national embarrassment but also an insurrectionist. There are certainly people in GA-14 who are thinking, she is not who we voted for. And given that Qanon will probably die out in about a year - it will start seeing a decline after Friday when Trump isnt sworn in - her base will evaporate.

(24,924 posts)Two very different things. Mercenary companies can be defense contractors, but very few DoD contractors are mercenary firms.
My company is a DoD contractor and we have naught to do with combat or foreign action. But plenty of DoD contractors who do have personnel on the ground in hot zones, have nothing to do with mercenary activity.
