She should write a book "How not to get elected in Georgia"

Great way to get attention, but is that a winning platform?

You can learn from it without honoring it.


If this was like the holocaust memorial designed to remind people of the tragedy, that's one thing.


This is worshipping these men as heroes and icons worthy of looking up to.

That's a problem. It's a celebration.

A Dem candidate serious about winning this state would have avoided this issue.

Not so. They lack the courage to call out Jefferson and Washington.

They will go after the one target that they have the moral high ground on: the CSA. There's practically no defense there. So they will hit it, hit it hard, again and again. As long as they have the CSA demon to blame racism/racial inequality on, they will be happy to destroy it.

See... the whole USA doesn't have to accept the blame for slavery/racism. The South does. Why blame each other when you can just blame the guy down the road, right? Doing otherwise would require an intelligent discussion about the nuances of history and an examination of our flawed past. That's much too difficult for these Lefties to understand. So, "smash" the CSA! Woo!

Understatement. People really have no clue how big the thing actually is:

Yep. Looks like she doesn't yet realize that running for Governer is a little different than running for State Rep of House District 89 in Atlanta. Her district is 65% Black and very left leaning. She's never even been opposed in an election. That District is simply given to whoever the democratic party wants to give it to.

I heard that the next thing to happen will be white folks demanding black bakeries to bake cakes of Robert E. Lee!

If she gets the nomination, she'll join Carter, Nunn, and Ossoff in the next "Great Dem Hope that'll get trashed in the general election" club.
