doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For the third time in a row, Georgia Dems are trotting out a black woman to go for governor, and not that I don\u2019t think a black woman would be capable of handling the role of the position, the Dems here seem to forget that they\u2019re in Georgia, which is a state that historically has not been particularly friendly to both black people and women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Furthermore, Keisha Lance Bottoms is no Stacey Abrams, and she lost twice.\u00a0 Stacey was a respected, tenacious bureaucrat who actually did shit that mattered, like launching Fair Fight to try and aid in voter suppression.\u00a0 Stacey was generally liked by all Democrats, black and white and everyone else, and her first run for governor, although was still an L, was the closest margin the Democrats had gotten in like the last 4-5 elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Keisha on the other hand, has had a maligned career as the Mayor of Atlanta, often seen as handpicked stooge successor to notorious clown Hizzoner Kasim Reed, who himself was revealed to have flagrantly blazed through mountains of taxpayer dollars on his own indulgences while Mayor of the Atlanta.\u00a0 Keisha constantly put herself at odds with the orange shithead, and there was one particular incident I always remembered, when she basically tried to legalize street racing to a degree, and the implication was that her son was most likely involved in doing it, and it\u2019s like she was trying to preemptively change the law so her son wouldn\u2019t get in too deep of shit if he were to inevitably get caught.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The bottom line is, Keisha put herself into a position where not only will she not have the vote of white people, especially those who favor the color orange, but she was not liked by large swaths of the black community, who simply thought she just wasn\u2019t doing a good job as Mayor of Atlanta, so why would they even bother putting forth the effort to vote her into the governor\u2019s mansion?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Like, I can practically hear Sweet Georgia Brown playing on election day when voters hit the polls, and vote after vote is cast for whomever wins the Republican runoff, because it really doesn\u2019t matter who emerges for the GOP, they\u2019re going to stomp a hole in Keisha. \u00a0And after the election, when voter numbers emerge, I anticipate there being a really poor black turnout, because like I said, as much as there may be those who don\u2019t like the color orange, but they don\u2019t like the alternative enough to feel it\u2019s worth leaving the house to vote for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If it were up to me, Georgia Dems should take a step back and try to get just one wishlist category a W; either push a black man, or a woman, but just stop trying to get a two-for-one, because fringe Georgia voters are way too racist and way too sexist to vote in a black woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">And if they try again in 2030, insanity will be definitely confirmed and reinforced.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBS: former Atlanta mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms wins Democratic nomination for Georgia governor Before I went to my voting location, mythical wife and I were talking about how the State of Georgia was at it again, with Governor Yosemite Sam signing HB369, which long story short, basically hides political affiliations for those who choose to &hellip;
