Isn't she the Congresswoman from one of 29 Districts in New York? By the way, a contribution.... George II Nov 2020 #5

Stacey is running the show, with others from Georgia, as AOC makes clear. Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2020 #131

It's an entirely different culture, isn't it? NurseJackie Nov 2020 #59

It is completely different. Those who are 'liberal' in Georgia are mostly moderately conservative Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #83

So Stacey Abrams who has been working for two years for Georgia should just sit down. sheshe2 Nov 2020 #12

Stacey Abrams should be the only one talking about Georgia AmericanCanuck Nov 2020 #22

No. Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2020 #56

Yes AOC will hurt us in Georgia. She needs to attend to her deep blue district. I think she is Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #78

You are correct. NurseJackie Nov 2020 #89

No. AOC reports raising $100k for groups fighting for Georgia. How does that "hurt us in Georgia"? Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2020 #98

AOC's ActBlue link sends money to Stacy Abams' Fight Fair Action group. progressoid Nov 2020 #90

And four other groups, but none to Ossoff or Warnock. George II Nov 2020 #108

And? progressoid Nov 2020 #112

Only one of the groups listed is Stacy Abrams' Fight Fair Action group. George II Nov 2020 #115

Again, how is this a bad thing? progressoid Nov 2020 #116

It's not a terrible thing, but it's funneling money off to peripheral organizations.... George II Nov 2020 #118

Says the person with a Lincoln Project picture in his sig line. progressoid Nov 2020 #119

Yes. They've done a great job and may have tipped some close states to Biden. Problem? George II Nov 2020 #120
