Let's do the same for Stacey Abrams.

I need an address to start.

[Solly Mack]

2. K&R

[yardwork]

3. She is amazing.

[volstork]

4. A goddess among us!

She is the personification of the power of an individual to change the world.

[SheltieLover]

6. Absolutely!

Ty!

[Leghorn21]

7. You better believe it!!

*******RESPECT********

[Blue Owl]

8. WOO HOO!

[R B Garr]

9. Ovation and throw in a parade!

Official Stacey Abrams Day.

edit: forgot my ovation!

[wnylib]

32. Absolutely a parade. Down the center

of Peachtree Street, first, then Pennsylvania Avenue.

[lagomorph777]

85. She should have a prominent place in the inaugural festivities.

(In whatever virtual format the inauguration takes)

[spicysista]

11. Absolutely!

She's the real deal.

[TlalocW]

12. I know she's thinking of running again for governor

But if she doesn't, she needs to be head of the DNC or in Biden's cabinet or something, and I don't want to be that woke White person - actually, I don't care - democrats better go overboard with some love for Black women.

TlalocW

[Skittles]

14. can't wait to hear what her plans are

she is amazing

[SnowCritter]

67. She's the real deal (as if there was any doubt)

[wendyb-NC]

15. She's the best.

I hope she gets a position in the Biden/Harris Administration.

[applegrove]

16. I look forward to her being Governor. I definitely need to see more

of this person i have heard so much about.

[bottomofthehill]

18. I am in love

Time for me to eat some shit. On election night, I was pissed at Stacy, Beto and Sharrod Brown. I thought we wasted time and money on seats that were not winnable. As the vote grew closer and closer in GA, she was the only hope for a bright spot in the senate and an unbelievable POtUS win. The Money that went there was well spent on organizing and getting out the vote and that was Stacy!

The republicans stole an election from her and she has now made them pay. I wasted my money on a senate race in North Carolina and South Carolina (although I am still a big Jamie Fan) and wish I sent that last 300 to GA instead of to the two races that I did

Great job Stacy! Thank You, you are amazing

[Celerity]

19. Sherrod Brown? He won in 2018. Beto would have lost if he had run. Cornyn is not Cruz

and the MAGAts came out in droves in TX for Rump and him.

IF you are going to be angry about wasted money, TX is correct though, just it didn't matter who we had run.. Same for Maine (to a degree), and the BIG TWO, South Carolina, where Harrison took one very iffy poll that showed him even a month plus out, and then ramrodded advert after advert using that same poll over and over and over (which put far too many in a trance that he was going to win when it never was remotely close in reality), plus finally, Kentucky, where there was always zero chance for McTurtle to lose, especially to a weak candidate.

TX, KY, SC, and Maine (Maine being the least bad in terms of winnability, but again, we had a weak candidate who was NOT a native Mainer, which torched her) all sucked up SO much money, and Bullock in MT and Theresa Greenfield in IA ended up cash starved and could not counter the INSANE 'they are commies who will burn down all the cities' (in Montana and Iowa!! LOLOL) hundreds of millions in Rethug adverts that buried them the last 2, 3 weeks.

And do not get me started on sexter Cunningham in NC, who BLEW a probably sure win with that scandal. Jeff Jackson should have run, he would have won (and hopefully runs in 2022 for the open NC seat).

Also am so pissed at Kathleen Sebelius, who was our only hope (and actually would have been the favourite to outright win according to almost every KS insider, Dem and Rethug) in KS, but refused to run, and the same for Tim McGraw in TN, who has now TWICE refused to run (2018 and 2020) for OPEN seats, after swearing he would run for a decade plus when he hit 50 years of age (he is 54 on this coming 1st of May). He would have won in 2018 over that piece of doggie MAGAt moron Marsha Blackburn.

[bottomofthehill]

20. Sharrod Brown was chasing the DNC

To send money and schedule a trip for either both Biden or Senator Harris or both as he was confidant that Ohio was in play. 10 days out from the election, the VP spent 2 days in Ohio.

Although Brown was not on the ticket, nor was Beto in TX they were the ones claiming the states were close enough for resources and visits.

Lost TX by over 5% and Ohio by 8

My wife and I budgeted 1000 dollars for democratic candidates. In the last month we were sending our last 300. She picked Jamie for 100, I picked that raging asshole Cal Cunningham and then we decided to send 100 to powered by people. The PAC Beto started in TX. Neither of us wanted to waste our money on Maine, we thought that race was over and Guideon had more money than. Ever for a seat in Maine.

Basically we blew 300 dollars. We did. It even look at GA. We blew that.

We made up for it to the best of our ability by sending a hundred to warnock and osoff in the run off

[Celerity]

43. ahh, oki, I see and agree (and it's Sherrod, btw)

I maxed out to Bullock, and it was just not in the cards. Daines is as close to as stupid a Senator (along with Blackburn, Ernst, Hyde-Smith, and Ron Johnson) as there was in the Senate. He is a complete duncy fool.

I had no idea (obviously) that Cunningham would blow it late with a sex scandal, but for well over a year I said Cunningham was as the worst candidate we could have had of the big 4 (Jackson, Foxx, Stein, and of course Cal). I absolutely thought he would still win, as Tillis was just a sitting duck, the biggest in the nation in terms of Rethug elected incumbents, but of course he blew it late (probably not the best choice of words, lol).

I also, at the end of the day (although I was deadly accurate on the POTUS, same as 2016 I only missed 2 states, FL and MN in 2016, GA and NC this time) was way off on Rump's coattails and Biden large lack of them. I had us (and this is without GA) winning back the Senate 52-48 (so that would have put us at 54-46 with the 2 GA wins) and picking up 4 or 5 net House seats (so would be at 245ish compared to what we had post 2018, 241), but instead, we ended up losing a net 19.

[bottomofthehill]

57. That all said....

I have a new hero in Stacy, and still really like Beto, Jamie and Sherrod but wish I had sent the cash to GA. She did an amazing job!

[Vivienne235729]

21. Amen to that!! Abrams is a national treasure!!

[George II]

22. I found this on Twitter earlier:

[ailsagirl]

36. Love that!!

[Marie Marie]

23. No doubt about it. She worked tirelessly on this and the general election.

[MontanaMama]

24. Democratic Goddess!

For real.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. giving a big wave of my crochet hook and yarn project

with a big Woo Hoo
That woman is a Force.Of.Nature!!!

[demtenjeep]

26. Next Gov of Georgia

I believe it with all my heart

[SergeStorms]

33. Should already be Governor of Georgia.

Kemp got to clear the voting rolls to pave his way to the State House. She was 'screwn'.

[niyad]

39. Think about the theory of unintended consequences. Kemp cheated Stacey out of the gov'

mansion. But look at what she did instead. Oooops.

[SergeStorms]

49. There was so much attention being paid...

to the Georgia Senate runoffs that it was impossible for Republicans to pull their usual disenfranchisement of minority voters. In fair and free elections Democrats will defeat Republicans 90% of the time.

[Tommymac]

27. You got it.

[Demsrule86]

28. If she would do it...she needs to head the DNC.

[DFW]

29. And that stands, no matter what the outcome!

The fact that we were even competitive is a tribute to her.

[Orrex]

30. The woman is an absolute titan!

[SergeStorms]

31. We don't win in Georgia without her.

And that's a fact, Jack! She's a force of nature.

[Nevilledog]

34. Fuck yeah!

[ailsagirl]

35. Love her!!

[Quixote1818]

37. I was an early fan. Check my old DU threads. She was my VP pick. She is brilliant!

[EarnestPutz]

38. What a great photo. Beautiful person with a beautiful heart. Wicked smart just....

....goes without saying.

[Initech]

40. Just heard her interview with Colbert!

Stacy Abrams is awesome!!

[Joinfortmill]

41. She rocks

[mtnsnake]

42. She is simply amazing.

[malaise]

44. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Great night for Dems

[dchill]

45. The best definition of "competent" in a long time.

[PatrickforO]

46. Yep. She and other women of color in GA have been utterly heroic.

I'm watching election coverage right now, and it looks like Reverend Warnock will be elected, and Jon Ossoff might well beat Perdue.

This lady is amazing. What an outstanding role model.

[sandensea]

47. The REAL Wonder Woman!

[cwydro]

48. kick!

[coeur_de_lion]

50. The Queen of the World

She can have anything she wants.

[smirkymonkey]

51. Hear, hear!

Stacy Rocks!

[Mike 03]

52. 100% She's now a legend.

[hkp11]

53. Stacey worked very hard for this!

[Trueblue Texan]

54. I am in awe of her!nt

[augyboston]

55. I told my wife I was leaving her for Stacey

When my wife got up this morning her first question was how did we do?

My answer: I'm leaving you for Stacey!

[Yeehah]

56. The woman who saved the USA

I cannot thank her enough. She saved democracy in the USA.

[Wawannabe]

58. ...

[Submariner]

59. Hey gov. Kemp.....you're next you election stealing cracker bastard

[dlk]

60. Brava Stacy!

Without her hard work and the work of her team, our democracy would have been lost. It is still hanging on by a thread but now we at least have a fighting chance. We owe Stacy an enormous debt of gratitude!

[TheRickles]

61. MVP! MVP!

[Hugin]

62. YES! YES! YES! BRAVO!

[DinahMoeHum]

63. Big Fucking Ups. . .Immense Respect

I'm glad I decided to donate directly to Fair Fight on this go-round, where I knew the $$$ would be put to good use in getting out the vote.

[Ferrets are Cool]

64. K and R

[Tom Rinaldo]

65. Absolutely!

And to all the hard working activists she helped mobilize to make it happen!

[TNNurse]

66. From some of the comments

It is a small thing, but to me it shows a sign of respect. She spells her name Stacey. I see comments that have it wrong.

As a person who has an unusual double name, people who respect you, get your name right. Please pay attention and respect the person by spelling their name correctly.


Sincerely, Alice Beth

[anamnua]

68. The USA, and indeed the entire planet, owes an enormous debt of gratitude to this woman

From Limerick, Ireland.

[GopherGal]

69. STACEY! STACEY! STACEY!

[MyNameIsKhan]

70. Standing Ovation for her !

[mshasta]

71. Fearless

[Lonestarblue]

72. She is amazing!

Imagine someone with her skills as Attorney General! Can we start a grass-roots campaign to get Biden to appoint her? She is light years ahead of anyone who has been mentioned so far.

Edited to add: We need a Stacy Abrams in all states that are trending purple to get us over the goal, especially mine (Texas). The 2022 governor’s race here is really important in light of the gerrymandering and further voter restrictions Republicans will pass.

[joshcryer]

73. God bless her.

[denbot]

74. She was cheated out of the Governor's mansion, then led a grassroots GOTV to save democracy.

Truly an American hero.

[cp]

75. Thank you, Stacey Abrams!

Massive respect.

[calimary]

76. Goddess.

That’s all that comes to mind, frankly! I’d follow her anywhere. She built the infrastructure for what happened last night.

[WinstonSmith4740]

77. No one deserves it more!

Think Republicans have figured out they should have let her win the Georgia governorship?

[Enoki33]

78. She is a credit to our country. The shining light atop the hill.

[SoonerPride]

79. I wish we could clone her and put one of her in all 50 states

She is simply amazing

[Six117]

80. A most BEAUTIFUL HUMAN

[bluestarone]

81. She's a WINNER!!

So fucking happy that she's in OUR CORNER!!!

[Catherine Vincent]

82. This lady is a hero

[BlancheSplanchnik]

83. Oooo, that pic is powerful!!!

Goosebumps!

[mountain grammy]

84. You betcha!

[Sogo]

86. I heard her say that she would be President by (I think it was) 2040.

I think it will be sooner.

I actually just found the story: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/31/stacey-abrams-president-2040-109869


Love Stacey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fla Dem]

[GentleAlien]

90. She is a reminder that good old community-organization wins elections!

We need more of Stacy Abrams - I am torn between wanting to see her in Biden's cabinet vs. leading the DNC!

[McCamy Taylor]

91. Yeah!

[ewagner]

92. Never Underestimate a woman with a mission!

Thank you Stacey for your courage and commitment!

We need another 100 just like you!

[onecent]

93. Thank you Stacy!!!!!!!! We can finally let the orange moose take off.....

[BobTheSubgenius]

94. "Massive" barely covers it!

As I said in another thread:

And....all hail Stacey Abrams! Not a shred of doubt that the entire blue population owes her a huge amount of gratitude, and any job she wants in the party or administration. In fact, the entire world just got better, and all its people should feel grateful, as well.

This day would not have come without her, and no one will convince me otherwise...although I'd be interested to see the effort.

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

95. Is it too much of a stretch to say that this person singlehandedly pulled the US

back from the brink of fascism? Well OK, not singlehandedly, but certainly she is playing a major starring role.

[crickets]

97. Way to go, Stacey Abrams! Thank you!

The entire Democratic party should take note of how she got the job done. With hard work and determination, it's amazing what can be accomplished, even in Georgia! I love seeing my state turn blue. Love it. Woohoo!!

[PoliWrangler]

98. K&R with sustained applause !!!! nt

[DeeDeeNY]

99. She is the best of the best

Love her!!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

100. Amazing woman. Glad she's on our side!

But then, she wouldn't be Stacey Abrams if she weren't.

[diva77]

101. Yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

[mysteryowl]

102. Her books are awesome!

Fair Fight is awesome!

She will win the governorship in 2022, I no doubt!

[Pinkflamingo]

103. I love you Stacey! Let's do this all over the country!!
