The Democrats definitely need more people like Abrams to work at the grassroots level. She did a lot of campaigning on her own accord. We can talk about how the Democrats should have spent more campaigning to Latinos, but we have to keep in mind that money spent there would be taken from somewhere else. You have to sacrifice campaign dollars in one area to spend them in another.
The Republicans have been better at that game for a while. They have wealthy people spending their own money campaigning for their party without actually donating directly. Therefore, the Republican party can spend their campaign money in other areas.
Honestly, whether Georgia flips or not, Abrams proved she deserves to be one of the premiere Democrats going forward.
