I just made the largest political donation I have ever made - to Stacey Abrams

[Pinback]

12. Thank you!

With both Abrams and Sen. Warnock on the ballot, we should be able to motivate more less-likely voters in 2022 than in a typical off-year election. So this is a great use of your donation $$.

One thing I noticed in both Nov. 2020 and Jan. 2021 is that more Democrats than usual turned out in counties all across the state. Even in counties that Trump and Perdue/Loeffler won, the margin of Republican victory was tighter than usual. Add up a few hundred votes in several counties, a couple of thousand in others, plus the blue tsunami in Fulton, DeKalb, and other Dem urban areas, and in a state-wide election you can put together a winning formula.

We can thank Stacey Abrams, Nse Ufot, and other activists for their tireless work in getting out the vote in those two elections — and thus for the razor-thin Dem majority in the Senate.

Obviously, it also didn’t hurt that a bunch of GQP voters sat the election out, especially in 1/21, because they’d been brainwashed that it was all “rigged.” We can’t count on that again, and with the Kemp-Raffensperger-legislature voter suppression tactics in play for 2022, we’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.

I’ll be contributing dollars and sweat to the Stacey Abrams campaign (as well as Warnock’s) in the coming months. It’s great to know we have a lot of people rooting for our success.
