Jon Ossoff: What Democrats won in Georgia [Delusional]
Washington Post ^ | 6/26/17 | Jon Ossoff

Posted on 06/26/2017 3:04:59 PM PDT by madprof98

On Nov. 9, Americans awakened to a startling reality: In the absence of broad, enduring citizen engagement, the door is left open for darkness to creep in and gain a foothold in our democracy.

Amid that awakening, I launched my improbable campaign for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. It grew into something bigger than I could have imagined.

***

We paired this economic platform with an unwavering support for a woman’s right to choose, Americans with preexisting conditions, criminal-justice reform, Medicare and Medicaid, voting rights, immigration reform, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, anti-corruption efforts and U.S. leadership to fight climate change. We built a coalition that generated massive Democratic turnout, engaged communities long ignored by local political leadership, and final vote tallies will likely show that we won a majority of independents.

Dementocrats. Can’t live with ‘em and you can’t live with ‘em. You know, if his hair was just a little bit longer he could do that tied up 55 gal garbage bag impression. You know, the “man”bun/knot. If you don’t like your hair down in your face, cut it.

How is there darkness creeping in? Did he read the masthead of the Washington Post which reads democracy dies in darkness?

How is it darkness for our democracy (actually we are a constitutional republic) if your favored candidates or political party do not win a free and fair election? How is that anything but just watching our system function properly??

Do the liberals think the very structure of our system is flawed if their candidates do not win every election???

Real Title: I really didn’t blow it. I still want to be a Democrat power player. Please don’t kick me to the curb just yet.

Pathetic desperation and wishful thinking from the Leftist at the Washington Post.

The DNC gave Ossoff more money than any other congressional candidate (kind of like Hillary) and still lost....

Remember most of Ossoff money came from California and not Georgia (9 to 1). I don’t think he will have that next time.

Run Rodney Stooksbury and get 124,917 votes spending $0 on campaigning while collecting whatever donations came through, or run Ossoff and get 124,893 votes spending $56 million and still lose?

There was a nice article posted on FR this weekend about it: GHOST CANDIDATES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE (More on GA-6)

Ossoff *is* darkness.

He is bad masquerading as good.

He even believes his own lies.
