How about, “I’m a million times less worse and electing my opponent will result in further erosion of democracy” Will that do it for you? I know that it worked for me personally in the last presidential election. Probably some other folks too.
Stacey Abrams Is coward, a loser who wants to disenfranchise black voters? Maybe step away from the keyboard and get your head out of your ass.
Idk, She and like 2 other people are the sole reason America has a Democratic-controlled senate. She did lose her an election in 2018 if thats what you are referencing. But most itt argued there were variables stacked against her.
why? How isn’t she relevant when discussing Kemp? We don’t really have a Republican or Democrat thread and idk why we’d create threads for every politician.
Florida posters catching those feels. Which tbf they provide enough content on their own to keep this thread busy.
GOP actively talking about taking everything that helps people away. Really throwing all their eggs in the steal the election basket.
10 years isn’t quite harsh enough. I think the sentence should also include the confiscation of all of this chuds “Punisher” stickers and posters.
I didn't have multiple privileged white dudes calling Stacey freaking Abrams a cowardice loser on my bingo card today. Some of yall need to to slap yourself. Is it a bad choice for her? Maybe. A mistake? Possible. She was a coward and loser? Go fuck yourself.
If she's basically running a campaign that's intentionally not leaning into popular issues that poll well with her base then yes she is being cowardly. She's polling worse now than she did in 2018. We have a state legislation that is going to do exactly what Florida did when Kemp gets reelected, her not explicitly running on saying she would beat back some of the most heinous and bigoted crap from Republicans is cowardly. Her past the primary this year was completely set up for her without much of a battle, the least she could do is start to freaking campaign on popular issues like she did 4 years ago.
Again, call it a bad choice. Call it a mistake in judgement. She ain't fucking scared though. She's not a coward. It's absurd to use that word and her name in the same sentence.
You really have to get used to holding people who are nominees and elected representatives to a higher standard, trying to frame just as some sort of bigoted judgment is in extremely bad faith. She's not some random person we're degrading, she is the person who should be leading the charge and not just assuming everyone is going to show up in November. What she did in 4 years ago was absolutely critical to where we are now and absolutely took a lot of courage. However, what she is doing now is not seemingly just a mistake but a lack commitment to really fight fascist Republicans head on in the issues. Maybe things will suddenly change in a couple of weeks but it is so late in this election cycle to be so hidden in this race.
If you can look at everything that woman has done and with a straight face call her a coward bc she hasn't made every choice you'd like in her platform, you can respectfully go fuck yourself.
You are completely incapable of having a frame of reference on anything, jesus christ. Everything is static in your world. You don't even live in the state, again I've only seen television ads for Warnock and Walker, a lot in fact. I've heard only a couple of radio ads for Abrams and that is hear leaning into being friendly with the police.
I remember a bunch of shit being written about kemp and the governor’s race in Georgia. About how it didn’t seem on the up and up. About voter suppression and shit of that nature. But, I guess the easier narrative is to call her a loser, a coward who wants black people marginalized.
It's just an extremely weak campaign. It annoys the shit out of me because I feel like it would have been very winnable. Now she's going to prob drag Warnock down
And you think that's a sign that she's a coward? You think she's afraid to run ads? You haven't see her ads, therefore she's a coward. Can you not see how dumb that statement is?
I’m not in Georgia so IDK anything about the campaign she is currently running. So I’m not talking about that. What I take issue with is calling her a loser and a coward and saying shit like she wants black people marginalized or disenfranchised. Can we agree that is bullshit?
You really think the Democratic nominee who should have a good shot at winning Georgia, in September, is okay to basically not run much of a visible campaign at all this time and that she's above criticism? In a state that will absolutely make lives much worse if Kemp gets reelected and has a mandate to lean into this culture war shit. Yes, I want to live in a world where those actions are described as cowardly, that should be a standard you should hold the very people who are asking for your vote that will control the trajectory of the state and much of the country. You are so stubbornly latching onto what one guy said, I never called her an outright coward, but she is currently acting cowardly in how she's running one of the most critical campaigns of our lives.
every dem who doesn't call for legalization and pardoning those convicted of possession is being a coward. every dem who runs a centrist milquetoast campaign about being less bad than republicans is a loser. see: hillary clinton.
no semantics. She’s been called a coward, a loser and it’s been stated the she supports policies that will hurt the black community. That’s bullshit .
I didn’t say you did. I’m just attempting to explain why some have an issue with has been said about her
It’s kind of ostrich-in-the-sand to be against marijuana legalization when there are so many people of color imprisoned in Georgia (black people are four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession vs whites) on simple weed charges. Legalization polled over 80% as a non-binding advisory question on the (I think Dem only) primary ballot. Tough to find more recent polling but 55% for legalization in Ga back in 2018, and things have only progressed since.
Again, I never said you can't critique her. I never said you can't be negative about the campaign. Those are fair things to say. But calling her a coward or describing her as cowardly is fucking stupid.
In 2012, the republicans were free trading capitalists who wanted immigration to keep wages low and loved outsourcing jobs to maximize profit. They chose mitt romney to run for president. Trump turned them into a neo-nazi white nationalist protectionist party willing to hang mitt romney from the capital rafters in the span of 3 years. Never underestimate the power that charistmatic and daring leaders can have in shaping the policy preferences of voters. Dems have like 4 people at all levels of government who qualify as charismatic or daring. The rest are empty suits and cowards more concerned with paying mckinsey to tell them what to think than getting out there and fighting for shit they actually believe in. Its why fetterman is going to steamroll oz in a republican state and why mayor ratboy flamed out of the primary.
Says the lily white guy that's not done 1/100th of the stuff she has to fight for the oppressed. But sure, call her a coward and loser from your pedestal.
You live in such an incredibly black and white world, like that of someone in elementary school. It is absolutely amazingly the most stupid argument over semantics, as if we went up to her or the Black community at large and said they were cowards instead of rightly voicing our frustration on a fairly private message board.
I can separate a campaign from the person. Apparently you can't. She may be running a bad campaign, she may be making some bad platform decisions, but she's not a coward or a loser. She's earned the right to not be called those things.
I'm confused why people are attacking her personally instead of saying she hasn't run a great campaign this cycle.
If I weren't so politically convicted her legislation stance would make me consider not bothering voting. Just a really stupid own goal
Again I'm saying she's doing something cowardly, that is an apt description for anyone who is in such an important position in society who is trying to earn our votes. You have absolute brainworms.
I was a public defender and had my clients go to prison for weed possession and then, post legalization, to prison for violating probation that stemmed from weed possession. There's been approximately 0 times the feds have arrested people for possession in post legalization states. her reasoning is complete bullshit and she knows it. I don't know what special interest or what consultant has told her it's a good idea to be against legalization, but she's a complete asshole for being against it. Legalization is the *single* most popular policy among voters, across all parties, ages, and demographics. Not to mention, it's a moral imperative. stick to sneakers.
I'm all for legalizing weed and I wish all politicians were the same. Stacey Abrams is not a loser or a coward bc she disagrees with me on that.
It's infuriating she's taking up space in a very winnable election that prob is negatively affecting Warnock as well.
Fat shaming her now? Dbl might hit bingo Spoiler this post is a joke, please don’t take it personally dbl
I live in Atlanta and haven't seen much from either candidate. It's refreshing to not be bombarded with political ads but it's also odd given the amount of money they've raised. The only political add I've seen lately is a couple of nutsacks in Cumming whining about not being able to save $2 due to inflation that Warnock is apparently responsible for
