The Democratic senator Jon Ossoff called Donald Trump a “draft-dodging, crook president” while defending the senator Mark Kelly as a hero during a Tuesday campaign appearance in Georgia, escalating his public feud with the US president.
“I don’t think anything illustrates the times more aptly than that the draft-dodging, crook president, who has plunged our nation recklessly into a war he knows not how to end or to win, tried to imprison this man, who embodies American heroism,” Ossoff said while appearing alongside Kelly and his wife, the former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

No. Shut the fuck up. Please don’t fucking run any fucking campaigns.
We’re actually turning the tide right now and its absolutely in no thanks to the kind of imbecilic, infantilizing fucking approach you are advocating for. We’re turning the tide because campaigns have largely rejected the kinds of politics you are advocating for because it keeps fucking losing. Its a fucking loser’s approach to campaigning.
The tide is turning because, like what should have happened in 2016, by focusing on policy; by focusing on making a material difference in peoples lives, we can actually motivate them to show up. If we go backwards to what you advocate for, we fucking continue to lose. Please stop advocating that we fucking lose.
Welcome to my personal ignore list. I’m quite happy that I’ll never read your insults ever again.
Like having the dumbest person you know tell you they aren’t going to call any more.
