[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Georgia Democrat and my prediction is that this gaffe has destroyed Abrams’ chances of winning. It doesn’t matter how many northeast liberals cheer at her indictment of Georgia. None of you get to vote here.

Abrams is going to lose by a much wider margin this time and she has no one to blame but herself and her northeast handlers.

The fact that she’s doubling down on these stupid comments instead of trying to walk them back and mend fences tells me she doesn’t understand Georgia and would make a poor governor. I’m over her.[/quote]

+1 fellow Georgian here, and I initially supported her[/quote]

uh huh[/quote]

You don't have to believe me. Doesn't change the facts. I loved her interviews, especially one in which she articulated her views on gun control. She began, "Look, I'm from Mississippi" and discussed family members who hunted. She's candid, highly intelligent, and dedicated to getting out the vote. You can't win an election by demeaning the state in which you seek office.  [/quote]
Again, people, everyone running against an incumbent points out problems with how the incumbent is running things. This level of vitriol about it is ridiculous.[/quote]

PP here. Vitriol reflected on my post?? Not at all [/quote]

Dude, if that comment pushed you to vote for Kemp, you were always voting for Kemp. GMAFB.[/quote]

PP here. Dude, the voting for next governor hasn't started yet. We've only had the primary. [/quote]

Yes, and now it moves to a contest between Abrams and Kemp, and you just said that previously you'd considered voting for Abrams but that comment made you reconsider. And I'm saying if that you can wipe your very concerned look off your face.[/quote]

You like to argue. I was trying to share my opinion on an anonymous forum. Enjoy your day.[/quote]

DP from Georgia. Georgian PP is correct that this comment is not going over well at all.  Southerners are aware of how they are perceived by northern liberals and this disdainful comment does indeed make it appear that Abrams may be disdainful of them and not able to really understand and advocate for Georgia.  The fact is, Georgia is on a great trajectory but it has a large and diverse rural population that sometimes struggles with poverty. But this rural population has a different set of values and perspectives than progressives, so Abrams has a way to go to reach this group.  Her comments do not inspire trust.  [/quote]

was she ever going to make inroads with rural voters?

i’m not saying they were great comments but i’d rather hear what people who might vote for her think than people who elect mtg tbh? or do i not understand georgia well enough?[/quote]
