He wasn't quite such a blatant spoiler.
A lot of them just hate Hillary
The greens are different
It was a two point swing towards the R's.
Greens ironically did take a bit of the anti-war vote.
The libertarians can be left or right wing
@Pielover19 yep
No
The greens are always left wing in my experience
Handel did better than Trump
In 2016 the Republican got around 23% of the vote
In 2017 Handel got 3%
@Deleted User Incumbent advantage
Oh shit I mean majority
It isn't that huge
Yep.
it's hilarious how defeatists like @Deleted User and @🎃Boo-ton🎃 focus on whatever statistic gives more credence to their doomsday rhetoric
Incumbent advantage, man.
Incumbency is important. But it isn't 20 points
incumbent advantage does explain a bit, but unfortunately that's not all of the explanation
Yes it is.
@FLanon Ossoff was Conor Lamb before Conor Lamb
young
white male
And considering the amount of retirements, I don't think it all bodes well.
campaigned as a 'moderate'
Conor Lamb campaigned as a progressive though
not lamb
Ossoff
Ossoff probably could have won if his house was inside the district
We're probably losing to House tbqh
The district went for Trump by !-2 points, Handel won by 3.
@FLanon Ossoff campaigned as a progressive
@🎃Boo-ton🎃 doesn't mean we shouldn't keep working
as per the status quo, this is a salvage campaign
No one is saying we shouldn't work for midterms
you can't directly control the outcome, but you can control a variety of things
I'm certainly not proposing that
but we definitely have to deal with the cards we get
