I like Abrams as a candidate. She’s for healthcare and tough gun laws, and she’s savy. But there are a lot of ignorant white wingers in Georgia. The two GOPer candidates in runoff are trying to out racist/bigot each other trying to attract them.

I think Abrams will wake some folks up, but I’m doubtful it will be enough. But with big voter turnout there is a chance. So I hope I’m wrong.
