Winning in Georgia right now is like a Democrat winning in Russia - That's republican only territory

1. Too bad we don't have this discussion before spending $30 MM on a list cause

Could have donated $30MM to healthcare patients in that district with shit insurance

Oh and I agree with your post, I am more venting that thas message often can't be accepted before an election happens

2. It was known and those expenditures were not for a lost cause.

We have to be able to see more than the past. That is simply a poor way of looking at things.

Will there be another election in the GA 6 or was that the last one?

3. Yup

If you want a fifty state strategy, you have to spend and engage even in the lost causes sometimes. A lot of the problem I think we have is that we don't have fully engaged local party structure material that are stuck in coasting mode because they've lost so often.

4. 40% turnout, 440k registered voters and we lost by less than 10k votes

Let's not put you in charge of strategy.

8. It was possible, but not probably. Still, we got close and that is huge progress. Huge vote shift.

5. Just stop it.

I live in Georgia 6. Look at this map and tell me that this is a lost cause. Solid red? NO

6. Then why do progressives bother living there. Why live in a state that

stands for everything they disagree with, and raise their families there? Why pay taxes to support the state rightwing agenda? If it is so deeply conservative then why live there?

7. The majority of people have no real choice in where they live

Opportunities are rare. Moving is hard. People have history. Friends, roots. We advocate for change.

It's not something that comes hard and fast - and when it does, it's dealt with for decades instead of a more natural course for it to be dealt with.
