Hi, I am a democrat that is understandably upset. However, I expected this to some degree.
I live in Forsyth County, Georgia and for a while was a volunteer the Dems. I stopped when I realized how f*cking out of damn touch the leadership of the party was. Its like they were doing things to intentionally drive away voters.
From early on I felt unwelcome there. They have a serious white male issue. They seem to think every white male is a right winger in disguise.
One day about two years ago they decided to protest a local ban on drag queen story hour at the local public library. They posted about it on their FB group and I commented "please don't do this, this does not drive turnout to our side."
They acted like I was a bigot of course, and did it anyways. The local Republicans used their protest on their campaign ads to show Ds were crazy, which is exactly what I said they would do.
Anyways last night when it was obvious that Harris would lose, I posted a comment asking if there would be leadership changes at the county and state level due to this failure to increase vote totals from 2020.
I attached the reply I got, and then I got promptly banned from the group.

In case you are wondering why I am a dem: single payer health care, higher taxes on the rich, pro environment, and pro LGBT (I don't think drag queen story hour at a public library is a right, but you can host one at your home in this county and no one will stop you).
As you can see, the party chair went nuts on me and took it as a personal attack. She called me a troll, and then chastised me for not volunteering more (I have 6 kids).
I do not think the Ds in GA will be able to fix the bleeding.
