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.

Ossoff was a great candidate and won 47% of the vote in a race over a firmly-Republican seat. In any less contentious contest, he would have won. Unfortunately all Karen Handel had to do was name-drop Annoying Orange and bring up the fact Ossoff is a Democrat.

All anyone does is attack Annoying Orange. It doesn't work. No one listens to propaganda outside of those who are already brainwashed. They'd do better if they had any actual platform outside of "Annoying Orange is satan"

A campaign that started off with the "Annoying Orange is Satan" lingo would probably do better than you think. Controversy sells, it's kind of how Annoying Orange gained popularity in the first place. It isn't pretty or nice, but it's how it works.
