Idk why they keep thinking they're going to win local elections by attacking Annoying Orange. Annoying Orange is not a local politician. Stop campaigning against Annoying Orange in local elections you loving dipstuffs lmfao
Ossoff got 48% of the vote, so it was pretty damn close, ultimately being down to a small majority sway to see who finally won. The language here suggests you think he might've cost himself a victory due to his campaigning when that really doesn't seem like the case, considering it wasn't a landslide defeat.
The problem was that Ossoff wasn't a strong candidate, as cut and dry as it is. That's why the dems keep losing ground, is because they're not pushing hard enough, contrary to your beliefs. Too much hubris, not enough gall in the right places. They would definitely win by "Attacking" Annoying Orange. Controversial campaigns with strong messages, gets the media spotlight. The more exposure the campaign gets, negative or not, the better the turnout usually is.
