Stacey Abrams is interviewed!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2020

Improbably, Abrams did something: In 2018, Stacey Abrams narrowly lost her race to serve as governor of Georgia.

At that point, she did what no one ever does. She went out and actually did something.

In an interview with the New York Times, Abrams tells the story of what she did. The story she tells dates back to 2010. 

Given the current state of our national culture, it's very, very, very unusual to see someone go out and do something. We especially recommend this part of the doer's tale:

ABRAMS (11/25/20): I traveled around the country raising money for House races, and getting people to invest was nearly impossible, people didn’t see the validity of a Georgia victory. They pointed to the 2008 election when the Obama campaign determined that we weren’t viable yet, so there was no investment. In 2012, I couldn’t leverage that there was going to be investment from the campaign as a hook for getting donors to come in. So it was a really small cadre of donors, largely philanthropists that I’d taken myself to meet. I’d say, “I know you don’t believe Georgia is real, but let me tell you what it can look like.”

Each cycle, I would take that same deck and update it and say: “Here’s where we were. And here’s where we going. And while this thing feels incremental, let me tell you what’s different now.”

I have always loved those lines, “Give me a place to stand and I can move the world.” Well, give me a place to stand and I can convince you Georgia is real.

When's the last time you saw someone at this level go out and accomplish something? As best we can tell, Abrams selected a place to stand and moved one part of the world.

(No one had to go to prison. She had a deeper idea.)

  1. “No one had to go to prison. She had a deeper idea.”

    Abrams’ impressive work is praiseworthy. But it doesn’t mean that some people ought not “go to prison” or otherwise face consequences for serious misdeeds. Political calculations can sometimes overrule the idea of seeking legal redress, but surely there are some misdeeds too egregious to overlook. Misbehavers tend to continue misbehaving if not held to account.

    Also, as a matter of fact, lawsuits were part of Abrams’ efforts in Georgia. While the aim wasn’t sending anyone to prison, it was to demand accountability and correct injustices:

    “Abrams and the advocacy group she founded after losing the governor's race, Fair Fight Action, have brought a comprehensive federal lawsuit saying Georgia's system amounts to an unconstitutional series of obstacles that are disproportionately likely to disadvantage African-Americans. It's focused on getting the courts to strike down the state's policies for purging voter rolls, delaying the processing of registration applications, short-staffing polling places in urban and rural precincts, and requiring exact documentation matches (down to the middle initial) for people seeking to cast absentee and provisional ballots.”

    Also, perhaps Somerby can wrestle with this, an essay he ignored:

    “IDENTITY POLITICS STRENGTHENS DEMOCRACY”

    1. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

      He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

  2. “No one had to go to prison. She had a deeper idea.”

    Of course Somerby is referring to what he terms the liberal “tribe’s” desire to see Manafort, Flynn, Stone, Trump et al “go to jail” or otherwise face legal consequences for their actions.

    His use of the term “go to jail” as in “yay yay yay we love to put the others in jail!” was his taunting response when Rachel or others reported on the unethical behaviors of Zinke, Price, Flynn, Manafort, Trump, and the others, even though jail was not the remedy in several of those cases.

    Zinke and Price were merely self-dealing; Trump, Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Giuliani...these people have done serious damage to our democracy. They aren’t just guilty of unethical behavior. And yet, pursuing justice is just tribalism to Somerby.

  3. "Given the current state of our national culture, it's very, very, very unusual to see someone go out and do something."

    This is not only untrue, but an unfair thing to say. Biden lead didn't come from nowhere or from magic. It came from a lot of hard work by a lot of Democrats. We flipped AZ and won NV, plus all those blue states that went to Trump in 2016, and we built up too big a margin for Trump to plausibly claim corruption. A lot of people did that together.

    I understand that Somerby generally does nothing but contemplate his pear tree, but he shouldn't project his own laziness onto others who do not deserve to be maligned that way.

  4. "When's the last time you saw someone at this level go out and accomplish something?"

    I admire Abrams too, but I think Nancy Pelosi did something over the past four years. Whatever relief people struggling with covid have gotten, has come from her efforts (she never seems to get discouraged). I also admire the way Gavin Newsom has handled covid in my state. I would say that Fauci has been accomplishing a lot too, and all those public officials in various states who have been getting death threats. I am sure others have their own lists too.

    There are a lot of accomplishments by collective humanity that happen because of anonymous hard work by many people. When Somerby denigrates our society, he is ignoring that collective effort.

    I have no doubt that he feels he has accomplished little over his lifetime. No one would argue with him about that. But that doesn't extend to others, whether involved in politics or doing other important jobs.

    Somerby is such an ass.

  5. Abrams is part of a tradition of black women's activism in politics and community organizing. When they say that black women are the backbone of our party (Democrats), efforts like Abrams are what they mean.

    Liberals recognize not only her importance, but that of the others who do the hard work in our party. This lack of respect for such work on Somerby's part, is another indicator that he is not any kind of liberal.

  6. Since Bob admires Abrams's efforts after a questionable election, can I assume that he also admires Trump's efforts? No, I don't think so.

    4. Questionable election. Elaborate, why don’t you.Trump’s problem at this point is that he is cornered into the big lie. As a rule republicans and Fox prefer the smaller lie. Fox just paid out seven digits to Seth Rich’s family for the more typical lie they engage in, purposely to chip away at their adversary’s base or to harden their base further with hatred. Would love to have seen Hannity get grilled by a prosecutor. Bannon is a never ending fountain of such bullshit. So let’s hear about this questionable election because from where I stand the only questionable aspect is how Trump managed to come within seven million in the popular vote.

    5. On Wednesday, Sidney Powell filed a 104-page complaint detailing everything she asserts took place in Georgia. Time will tell if she has the evidence to back up all her claims. I'll be happily surprised if she does.

    6. Is there another Sidney Powell? Because the one who types like a sloppy drunk, got summarily booted off the Trump team for being even loonier than them, and who managed to alienate even Tucker Carlson is not one that a sensible person would have a shred on confidence in.

    1. Michael, I suggest that you contact me immediately for my apology and services. By way of explanation let me pose the following question: are not expert spell casters humans , susceptible to human failings, and emotions? I am a lonely man. You wife, it turns out, is very impressionable. And you are burdened by a naive optimism in your wife that is not consistent with her past or present activities. I believe that with my assistance I can help you maintain this misconception indefinitely. So please give a call and set up a session. Dr. Odien

Everything got worse because he started going to bars and strip clubs frequently with his friend, getting drunk and passing out. He always threatens me on the phone whenever I call him because of all the bad advice that his friend has given him. I really love him and we had been married for 8 years which gave us a beautiful daughter and a son. I had also lost a lot of money on therapists until I was introduced to DR. BALBOSA by a friend whom he helped to marry her childhood boyfriend, this gave me total confidence and strength to get him back. I did all that DR. BALBOSA asked me to do it and I also followed all instructions given to me by DR. BALBOSA to my greatest surprise after 48 hours my husband called me and rushed back home with a brown new car for me and our kids... things just changed between us emotionally, I was the happiest woman on earth that day. my husband now has a good job and stopped drinking and he stopped keeping irrelevant friends.

  13. My life is back!!! After 1 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids . I felt like my life was about to end I almost committed suicide, I was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr Mark, which I met online. On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet,I came across a lot of testimonies about this particular spell caster. Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb,cure cancer,and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. I also came across one particular testimony,it was about a woman called Alandre,she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days, and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr Mark e-mail address. blessedlovetemple@gmail.com After reading all these,I decided to give it a try. I contacted him via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48 hours, my husband came back to me. We solved our issues, and we are even happier than before. Dr Mark is really a gifted man and I will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man... If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you. blessedlovetemple@gmail.com
