Georgia Democrats To The Resistance: Please Don't Come Here For Senate Runoffs

[634-5789]

“We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, but please do not ― I repeat, do not book plane tickets or gas up your car and make plans to travel to Georgia,” said Seth Bringman, spokesperson for former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. “There is a pandemic, and thanks to so-called leaders like Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue ― who downplayed the virus while profiting from it ― cases are rising across the country.”

Bringman emphasized that Democrats in the state are “not looking for an influx of people at this time” and that contributing money and reaching out to voters from afar is the best way to help out.

“We are thrilled to have so much volunteer interest in helping our efforts in battleground Georgia, and look forward to continuing our strong volunteer program into this runoff,” Maggie Chambers, a spokesperson for the Georgia Democratic Party, said. “Our team encourages out-of-state folks to put public health and safety first, and take advantage of one of our many opportunities to volunteer remotely and safely from home.”

1. I actually was thinking about flying out there

But this makes absolute sense. There is a lot that can be done from anywhere in the world, so I'll take their advice. It seems VERY prudent to me.

talking about.

4. Sending off two checks today

One to Warnock, one to Ossoff

8. We're adopting a Hamilton donation strategy

Every time we get triggered by the Anarcho-Fascist Republicans we toss a ten spot each toward Ossof, Warnock and Abrams campaign. Thirty bucks at a whack.
If we can manage to limit our triggering to no more than once a day we limit the financial exposure to less than $2k split equally between the 3 campaigns.

11. Pst trigger, trigger

Just in case it hadn’t happened today

Lol

Seriously ty

5. I agree with this.

Covid is raging in the red states.
The hospitals are close to capacity.
I admit, its a tempting thought, but too many contact points to drive. And the same goes for going through airport security.

6. Agreed, I look forward to the day elections are determined by reason not outrage.

7. Misleading headline from the linked article.

Thanks, Huffpost, for turning an article about a plea for safe canvassing into a hit piece ostensibly belittling the Resistance.

10. + for real WTH?

9. my thought is, let Georgians handle it
