Let Georgia Howl with a Southern Accent
We (I would say Democrats, but sane people is a more accurate term) can win control of the Senate in January. Georgia will hold a runoff election for two Senate seats. Both Republican candidates are flawed and easily attacked by simply highlighting the facts of their corruption. This election has shown some truisms of our political operatives can fail. More money can’t win a Senate seat by itself. Even a great ground organization doesn’t always win when everyone collectively chooses the safest candidate in Joe Biden. Harrison could not oust the sniveling Graham in South Carolina. Biden had no money no organization when Jim Clyburn said Joe is our best bet. Everyone agreed or everyone not a Bernie.
Shifting people’s perception of reality is not easy. When it happens whether it is reality or delusion it changes the way people vote. It takes many deluded minds for sixty-eight million Americans to believe Trump is fit to serve another four years as president. In Georgia a QAnon easily won a House seat. We need to go all out to help Georgia elect Ossoff and Warnock, but we Yankees need to back off. We need to help Georgians elect Georgians. We cannot let the corrupt Republicans use our passionate Democrats as foils. We need to be effective not more passionate. Without Trump passion will ebb from his base and turnout will slip away.
The campaigns from Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama who just lost would be good resources for volunteers they speak with the right accents. They share the same sensibilities. Support the Ossoff and Warnock campaigns in a smart way do not make it easy to vilify their supporters as pawns for a DC agenda of liberal elites. We all know liberal elites traffic children in pizza parlors. I am sure that is what Georgia’s freshman congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is fighting against.
The Democratic Party has failed to build a proper web interface of connection and it can’t happen in two months. Our tools will be the organizations of Ossoff and Warnock let’s not hinder their efforts with outside special interests PACs. Southerners are still Southerners do not allow the race to be one of the GOP protecting Georgia’s interests from scary outsiders.
