Kemp is going to challenge, his success will be based on Trumps term up to that point. Ossoff wont have Fulton and Dekalb work as hard as they would for Warnock.

Kemp*-Ossoff is going to be one of the main battlegrounds of the '26 midterms and I can easily see either winning. Ossoff can win because the Democratic coalition is more high-propensity and the Trump-only voters won't necessarily show up for down-ballot R's (maybe because of the Governor's complicated relationship with Trump or maybe because they just don't vote beyond the big one), but Kemp from what I can tell can pull a Glenn Youngkin-esque Trump-suburbia coalition together. Obviously Trump's performance and the national environment will play a big role but at the moment I wouldn't really shade the state either way.
*assuming he doesn't get blindsided by a MAGA challenger and wins the primary, but I don't think he will

Gonna be real, the only point the US is going to break its 47 president streak of male presidents is when you can show a woman that doesn't use the woman card as a reason to vote for her. She actually has a track record and gets shit done. She didn't need to suck cock to rise through the ranks.

I'll be long dead before we get a woman as a prez but a bitch that gets shit done is what I would want. No whores allowed.

Ossof is a non entity. Nobody really talks or thinks about him. He is fairly non controversial and unoffensive to the burbs who are now firmly D in Georgia but he also doesnt have the D machine singing his praise either. He lost multiple Rep races in the burbs before putting his name down and barely winning with Bidens magical extra 10+ million plus votes.

The D's in Atlanta are super racial politics based. Hes a white boi. They wont go as hard for him as they went for Kamala.

Kemp has suburb cred for "standing up to Trump" but Maga does not like him but will hold their nose for him. He is a RINO, but he does have to answer to Maga to win elections.

I think we are saying the same thing. Ossof has to contend with no covid election magic, and Kemp has to get Maga excited and the burbs to be indifferent to Ossof and not show up to support him. Also Kemp has to win 50+ to not go into run off and the Libertarian party are very successful spoilers there.

The reason why Kamala Harris did poorly was not because she was a woman

Unlike Hillary, the conditions for Kamala being the nominee were only there because of her sex and race. Whatever you think about Hillary, she’s a very accomplished individual who acheieved a lot of what she has today because of meritocracy. This is also true of her husband. None of them wouldn’t gotten this far in life if they didn’t cunningly climb their way to the top.

Compare that to Kamala, a woman who has tried to market herself as the female Obama—only without the achievements. She got her start by sucking the right people and fucking her way to the top. She was literally DEI-selected as the VP. A male Kamala wouldn’t be possible because the system no longer favors men, but even a black or brown man would still need to have a track record. Kamala has none. I think Kamala’s loss is related to her gender but only in that a catastrophically bad nominee could only be selected for being a woman.

Anyone who uses any popculture media as a point in a political argument shouldn't be taken seriously. Are we so illiterate in social studies that we as a society can't talk about politics without bringing up the same 5 movies/books instead of making real arguments and comparisons.

Fucking thank you! everyone does it. “DIS IS LIKE DA STAR WRS MUH FKN “ I LOVE DEMOCRACY LINE” “ermagerd black mirror in real life” people have to realize where theres order there will be corruption and these movies and books are reactionary pieces not prophecies. Thats what soyjacks and chud memes were ment to clown on.

It's incredible she didn't lose by more than 8% nationally. I honestly think DeSantis might've been able to beat her even, but we'll never know. Worst candidates in recent memory in decreasing badness: Harris, Kerry, McCain, Romney.

She had nothing to go with at all. Just abortion. I still can't think of any other things she stood for except maybe a first time homeowner bonus.

She proves that around 40% of the country are blue no matter who, no joke. They could run anyone and get 40%.

Hilary gave the second to many voters but nobody who wasn't completely deluded found her likeable, and Kamala was as hateable as Hilary and had none of her experience. And what are their other big options that fit the minority democrat woman mold? Oprah? A mostly out of the public eye billionaire who can't even pretend to be relatable middle class like Kamala? Obama? She doesn't seem to want to run and has less qualification than even Kamala or Trump. She'd be a complete nobody if not married to Barack.

Bill Clinton was always the more likeable one.

It's going to take a no-nonsense, anti-trans, obvious dyke who rolls her eyes every time someone brings up how great it is that she represents the LGBTQ+ community.

You know, an actual lesbian.

The problem with a lesbian president (I mean other than Elanor Roosevelt) is that one, Subaru don't make a stretch, bulletproof Brat, and two, if she had a female chief of staff or press secretary, they'd have to explain where they got that black eye and split lip at least once.
