A once rising star in the Democratic Party is falling to earth, leaving disillusioned young politically minded folks clamoring for answers. Stacey Abrams – who raised more than $103 million in her ultimately unsuccessful quest to win the governor’s seat in Georgia – now has a few questions to answer: namely, where’s the money? The record-setting haul of cash in a rematch with Governor Brian Kemp had people curious as to why there was a sudden lack of funds days before the election, and now the campaign reportedly holds a debt of over $1 million.
It seems that former staffers of the outspoken progressive have had a come-to-Jesus meeting and decided it was time to talk.
Winning and Losing Support
The Democrats, specifically those in the Peach state, are masters of luring the young vote towards the cult of progressivism. Abrams was that movement’s grand poohbah. But not anymore; even the most stalwart of supporters, once dazzled by dreams of free stuff and world peace, are beginning to come out of the ether.
The allegations of misspending on the youth vote are among the most egregious if true. Several staffers have relayed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that a house was rented for the sole purpose of – not housing staffers – but creating TikTok videos. TikTok was abandoned, and a few of Abrams’ aides moved into the vacant five-bedroom craftsman-style house, with a hefty $12,500 a month rent, as a makeshift office. The campaign also had a swag wagon. Yes, a traveling dispensary of free Abrams Koozies, hoodies, t-shirts, and other cool collectible political attire that will litter Georgia’s many thrift stores soon enough. One anonymous tattler bemoaned the seemingly random consultant and polling line items as costly with no apparent purpose considering the campaign refused to adjust to trends in the lead-up to the crushing loss.
