What a great idea!

Ranked Choice Voting for 2020🥇🥈🥉
We need to take @TiffanyBond’s idea to Georgia. We saw how little all the money helped @SaraGideon.

But what a difference it could make if Democrats across the country started funding Georgia food pantries, Georgia teachers, all in honor of @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock.

Please, take #MaineRaising and make it #GeorgiaRaising.

It is my gift of a win to you.

Flood Georgia's small businesses and non-profits with resources.

Do not make the mistake you all made with money in Maine.

This is me, giving you the Senate seat(s) you didn't give me the resources to give you in Maine. ⤴

Stop wasting money.

Invest in the community.

Like this, but for Georgia.⤵

This has been bugging me after reading how little out of state money mattered (via traditional campaigning).

The candidates will also need money. There will be a lot of misinformation that our candidates will need to fight off. Kelly Loeffler is married to the owner of NYSE. There will be an insane amount of money going into this runoff. I suggest do both if you can.

And to donate to non-profits and small businesses, and that Georgians should do that too.
But her strategy didn't help in Maine, so why should we consider it for Georgia.

Southerners have a long and proven history of biting the hand that feeds them. Their lives are propped up by federal resources derived from blue state taxes, the same entities they work so hard to demonize.
