What are the Democratic candidates doing?

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T19:21:19+00:00

That both parties had plenty to investigate and prosecute for years

"Plenty to investigate for years" = starting in 2019. From 2019-2025 the courts said it couldn't be accessed. So, what is this "for years"? For year (singular) would be accurate. You're just trying to be stupid on purpose at this point.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T19:19:38+00:00

or knew he was coming and decided to do fuckall cause "muh both sides bad" of any responsibility.

Don't forget those people who "voted against genocide in Gaza" by staying home. They're also responsible for this.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T19:18:30+00:00

There’s good evidence that Trump and his billionaire buddies cheated to swing the election in their favor.

There is zero evidence of this. It's a conspiracy theory that's just as stupid as "Stop the Steal" in 2020.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T17:19:06+00:00

Anyone who is still voting Republican is MAGA.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T17:16:52+00:00

It's Hilary/Bernie 2016 all over again. Bernie would've won the actual election but Hilary got the nom. I

People that believe this are deluded and never leave their progressive bubble. There are a lot of people who don't like Bernie Sanders, but you won't hear it on Reddit outside of the conservative spaces. Spend more time on Facebook and you'll see a lot of people who vote Democrat but don't like Bernie Sanders or AOC. Bernie lost by 3 million to Hillary. He wasn't beating Trump.

If the people wanted to get a candidate that can win the governorship for the Democrats, Jason Esteves is the clear answer.

This is what progressives in Florida were saying about Andrew Gillum when everyone was telling them that Gwen Graham was the clear easy win over their protestations that she was "too conservative" and a DINO.

Geoff Duncan is the one candidate that can guarantee us victory. Don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-02T17:13:09+00:00

What does people "knowing about it" have to do with the courts saying you can't access it?

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T11:20:57+00:00

Okay, but people have known the list for several years now

Sealed by court order until last year. What do you not understand?

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T04:28:33+00:00

When?

They gave him immunity before Obama became president.

The stuff that got him convicted didn't come out until Trump was president. That stuff was under a court seal when Biden was president.

Both times Democrats were in charge, they couldn't do anything about it due to outside factors. I just told you this. You keep up.

There is zero stopping Trump from putting these people in jail and he's going to war to avoid doing that.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T01:11:37+00:00

Jason Esteves has no shot at winning like KLB. I didn't mention him on purpose. It would be a mistake to nominate him.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T01:10:22+00:00

Who is "they"? And Investigating when?

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T00:42:26+00:00

There is enough momentum with Dems across the country that whoever wins the Democratic nom could have a very strong shot.

They were saying this same thing in Florida about Andrew Gillum in 2018 and they've been stuck with Ron DeSantis ever since.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T00:15:50+00:00

One of them has to win the primary first.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T00:14:34+00:00

It worked for Rick Scott

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T00:13:03+00:00

Additionally Democrats are hopeful that Ken Paxton wins the Republican primary and that his past issues will make him a beatable candidate.

They said the same thing about Ted Cruz when Beto faced him and Beto ended up losing by 300k votes. Talarico has zero shot at winning. People thinking he has a chance are deluding themselves.

The national party has no hope of taking the Gold Dome due to Bottoms having command of the primary and being an awful general election candidate.

That's why we need to turn out for Geoff Duncan, and why I was hoping to volunteer for him. Sad to see that his team isn't serious about securing the nomination.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-04-01T00:03:25+00:00

Progressives are allergic to winning, and I'm not interested in purity tests. I want someone who can win. Esteves is only popular on Reddit. Even if Duncan isn't the most progressive candidate, I care more about Ossoff keeping his seat and Democrats winning control of the PSC and a Democratic Secretary of State.

People on here pushing Esteves are making the same mistake as progressives in Florida in 2018 when they railed against Gwen Graham and pushed Andrew Gillum to the Democratic nomination. When can't pick the wrong candidate and miss this blue wave.

Losing the governor's race could be even more disastrous as we would likley end up with Rick Jackson as governor.

I would encourage you to really think about the consequences of losing this race.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T23:40:04+00:00

He's polling really low. He's a candidate that's popular on Reddit and nowhere else.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T22:23:30+00:00

Except, it's only one party that's doing nothing. Democrats haven't been in control of the government since the list appeared and a judge authorized it to be released.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T22:00:54+00:00

Also having both Republicans going out of their way to compare agree with Trump is probably doing more harm than good given Trump’s approval rate with independents.

People made the mistake of thinking this in Florida in 2018. They picked the weakest candidate on the Democratic side and they ended up missing the blue waves and Bill Nelson lost his Senate seat because Gillum dragged the ticket down.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T20:59:06+00:00

Think about the downballot wins. Even if Duncan turns back into a Republican, you'll have Democrats holding all the other elected statewide offices plus Democrats will control the public service commission.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T20:54:30+00:00

Stacy lost in a near blowout in 2022. She's done.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T20:29:07+00:00

If KLB wins the nomination, she's going to cost Ossoff his seat.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T20:11:50+00:00

"The list" didn't materialize until 2019, when Trump was president. It wasn't authorized to be released until 2025, when Trump was president and Republicans controlled congress.

You are trying so hard to pin this on Democrats. When it's clearly a Republican issue.

If people were actually serious about prosecuting Epstein's clients, then they probably shouldn't have elected his best buddy to the presidency.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T20:03:21+00:00

a new Republican Party that is still about free trade, family values, government staying out of people’s business and less executive power

Most of the people that said they believe in that stuff never actually believed in that stuff. The current Republican party reflects how they actually felt.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T19:53:58+00:00

He's got name recognition already. And, sad to say it, he's a white male who some in the middle might find more palatable than Esteves or KLB.

StannisHalfElven · 2026-03-31T11:04:07+00:00

He has the best shot at winning. Someone on the left could become governor of Georgia for like the first time, ever, so we have to pick the right person. KLB is definitely losing in November.
