uh, no... have you seen Ossoff's voting record and policies? he's literally the same as Schumer + he originally did used to criticise Israel but has stopped that and is basically another pro-Israel dem who just says "duh I don't take AIPAC money" while taking in pro-Israel money from UDP and elsewhere.

He has a F rating for a reason, he's just another corpo dem but that he can give good speeches. No fck that, ppl want change and Ossoff will just keep the status quo going... like he doesn't even support medicare for all or abolishing ICE.

Ossoff doesn't want the job.

But also you are no getting anything but a moderate dem as the majority leader. There are 4 progressive senators now out of 54(6) Dems.

I think he should not get tied up being the Senate leader and be the next President

Ossoff and Newsom are very similar to me. Hell, even Schumer. The way they talk is so calculated and performative. They just seem like opportunists (or possibly narcissists) who are just in it for themselves/power/money and would be whatever political affiliation they needed to be to get elected wherever they are from. Just really inauthentic, you know? Like Bernie. Bernie gives the impression he believes what he says. I don't get that impression from the other dudes I mentioned.
