Can we be competitive in GA-14?

[Stinky The Clown]

Margie's district.

1. She won it by 30 points in 2024

Closer than that? Sure. Competitive? Highly unlikely.

2. I seriously doubt it...

...Georgia's been gerrymandered to the point it's unlikely a Democrat can run a competitive race against any Republican in a U.S. House district. Statewide races are very much turnout dependent, and shenanigans like the lack of machines in Democratic areas and bomb threats that were called in during the 2024 election will occur again.

3. The Democratic candidate there is Ret General Shawn Harris. A great candidate that probably doesn't stand a chance in

that racist district. But, who knows situation in 11 months?

4. Is that the District Deliverence was filmed in?

7. Close enough

It was either in that district, or the one next to it

5. We need a candidate running on a Bernie type platform.

6. What the hell is a Bernie type platform?

8. Somewhere left of center.

9. Why not say that, then?

Many people in the South are put off by Bernie and would not vote for such a candidate. I am left of center here in Illinois, and I would think twice about voting for someone who was billed as a "Bernie" candidate. I am sick to death of Bernie, and I wonder why it's okay to criticize others for being old, but not Bernie.

10. Apparently you never paid attention to the crowds

Bernie and AOC attracted everywhere they go. North, South, East, or West people were thrilled to hear their message.

11. They could run a demented squirrel and win

We don't get that district for the next thirty years at least.
