    If he loses, Dems will blame it on progressives even tho he vehemently rejected any progressive policies.

    If he wins, Dems will say it was because he rejected those things.

    You can't win with these people.

    Is Warnock any better? It would be cool if he actually ran on some progressive policies and won while this dip shit lost -- even tho then they would say he won because he was black and not because he had better policies.

      They refuse to run or find or support any progressive candidates because they know progressives absolutely wreck everyone when they get a platform. They'd have to acknowledge that they actually don't want change and that terrifies them. The post 2016 progressive victories scared the Dems back hard right.

        he absolutely is better on non-domestic issues, he told AIPAC to go fuck itself and claims that Israel is an apartheid state.

        there's also this so he's a mixed bag

            he's not a career politician so 100% some dumbfuck dem staffer (probs some buttigieg-loving white kid) wrote that shit

            having met warnock IRL he's definitely a very chill dude and he's got some out-there ideas, but i doubt he'll be able to resist the pressure to turn into a milquetoast lib just like Stacey Abrams did. money talks.

        Dang. It would've been actually interesting to see two different candidates (one progressive, one moderate) run against Republicans in the same location, at the same time, for the same position. Would've been an interesting test.

          There was someone in the primary that was for mca and progressive policies but the Dem party didn’t support him at all. Still got ~3% in the jungle primary though
