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

90. It all depends on the circumstances.

Ossoff was a good fit for GA-06. It is an affluent suburban district and a tough nut to crack so I am not shocked that he lost. I do think we need to run candidates who are good fits for their districts/states. An across-the-board liberal will probably not do so well in a deep red state.

That being said, I would like to see the national strategy shift toward increasing turnout. Non-voters tend to be closer to the core Democratic profile. They are less affluent and more diverse and are thus a potential treasure trove for us if we can get them out and defeat Republican attempts to keep turnout low. Putting a lot of time and effort into wooing affluent Republicans is not a good strategy especially if it means alienating our base among less affluent Americans.
