As if this was a devastating "loss" for Democrats.
A seat not held by a Democrat for what...40 years?
A seat that hemorrhaged Repub votes in a district that should not have EVER been this close.
Truly Orwellian.

Of course, there would have been a story if a freakin' miracle had happened!

It's the republicans who should be shitting their pants right now. The Dems just need to work on their strategy a bit more--and raise hell regarding cross-check and other voter suppression issues.

Secondly, THEY built up a race in a district that has gone RED since the 1970's, IS drawn +9 for thuglicans, and contains Deeply red Cobb County. So, after I saw those statics early on through my own checking, I knew it would ALWAYS be a tough lift for Ossoff, who was pretty lucky in fact to have gotten to within 2-3% points of that crook Handle.
I live in the greater Los Angeles County area, and if that turd were to have won HERE during the 2016 GE, that would have been a devastating loss for whomever he ran against him, because where I live is DEEP Blue, in fact we've THANKFULLY have a Super-majority here for a while now, so thuglicans have been rendered null and void essentially, and our state has rebounded from Ahnold for the most part without too much thuglican input
