The GA-6 result discredits the "centrists can win-the left can't" narrative.

[Ken Burch]

85. As I understand it, all the other candidates in the first round took about 1% of the vote each.

No one other than Ossoff was seen as having any real chance of making the second round.

I didn't say there were no other Dem candidates at all-there were other MINOR candidates. I wouldn't have voted for any of them, but I don't think there was any way to force them to withdraw before the first-round vote. And I doubt that white leftists were somehow to blame for those candidates staying in the race in the first round or that those candidates(candidates I agree should have withdrawn)stayed in the race with the intent of thwarting the will of voters of color. If they did, I condemn them for it.

My point was that Ossoff was the prohibitive Dem favorite in 2017 and.

And I accept that people of color preferred him. That is their choice. I'd have joined them in both rounds if I lived in the Georgia 6th.

Ossoff made gains in the Dem vote share.

So did the candidates we nominated in Kansas and Montana.
