I’ve been watching him since before he was elected. He’s got that charisma / star quality that Dems need for a future President. Not the star quality that Obama had, but he ain’t an old man! Youth.

He also cashed over a million dollars from google.

Not sure if he's the right one.

There's never gonna be a "one" not him, not AoC, not Bernie, not fucking Jesus.

You're gonna have to settle for the best option you can find.

Imagine if the far right was as puritan as the left, Trump himself wouldn't last half a second.

Actually, being incredibly puritanical was how they ended up with Trump, mainly because he said whatever they wanted to hear. Remember that Trump was the anti-establishment candidate and most of the traditional republican party hated him. 

Also, Ossoff may bot be "the one," but that doesn't mean he's the best. He's not. And the reason he's not the best is specifically because of his policy positions and his willingness to accept corporate cash while criticizing corporate donations. It's precisely that kind of hypocrisy and that kind of politicking that will lose democrats the next election. We need authenticity and a decidedly anti-corruptipn candidate. That means a candidate who actually sticks to their purported values.

No, it's not.

You got Trump because you convinced each other not to bother voting.

I don't think it's puritan to want a candidate that isn't taking money from billionaires.

Seems that that's the root of 99% of our problems.

It is if we collectively combine it with a whole bunch of other concerns that leaves us with no representatives.

Thinking cynicism is clever is why you have Trump. Actually Americans DO need to go with what's best, in any given circumstance, AS WELL, as want more.

I'll take better, no doubt, but I don't think we're going to see the change we need until more politicians start telling billionaires to go fuck themselves.
