Jon Ossoff Just Sealed his Reelection
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
Yes he will and after that, I believe he may have bigger things in mind. If you read social media, there are thousands of people pushing him to run for president.
I met him at a private fundraiser last month and he's an awesome guy who has a bright, bright future ahead of him.
This is the publisher for the Bulwark.
Assoff is a total loser. Never was legitimately elected. He will lose conclusively this fall.
He's speaking directly to people like you.
Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
Conclusively my *** - he's going to waltz right into it.
What Fulton trial? The one you imagine?
We’ve been “just waiting” for over half a decade now.
Move on and find a way to actually contribute to society.
just an aside...there was a thread posted I believe by WWJD that discussed the "bribes" in politics...so everyone is aware, Ossoff has received about $800,000 in PAC contributions this cycle and $33,500 in direct and earmarked money from AIPAC. And that's only fraction of the money he has received..
Now, while we're relishing the election and future of Senator Ossoff, should we putting our support behind someone who is openly being "bribed"?
AIPAC attacks him, they do not donate to him,.
"There is no evidence that U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is being bribed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC); in fact, the organization has actively targeted him with attack advertisements. [1]
The dynamics of his relationship with the lobbying group and campaign financing laws clarify the situation:
The Nature of Campaign Contributions vs. Bribery
- Legal Distinctions: Legally, bribery involves a corrupt quid pro quo—a specific exchange of money for an official act. No such investigations or charges exist regarding Ossoff and AIPAC. [1, 2]
- Corporate PAC Ban: Ossoff has a strict policy against accepting money from corporate PACs and has even co-sponsored the Ban Corporate PACs Act to eliminate them from federal elections altogether. [1, 2]
- Minimal Lobbying Monies: According to tracking data compiled by OpenSecrets, Ossoff has historically received negligible financial backing from the broader pro-Israel sector—such as just $2,979 in the 2022 cycle, coming entirely from individuals or affiliated employee groups rather than the PAC itself. [1, 2]
Opposition and Attacks from AIPAC
Rather than working together, Ossoff and AIPAC have been in open political conflict: [1]
- Voting History: In late 2024, Ossoff voted alongside progressive lawmakers to block certain U.S. weapons transfers to Israel. [1, 2]
- AIPAC Ad Campaign: In response to his voting record, AIPAC funded and released a targeted ad campaign blasting Ossoff and other lawmakers. [1]
- Public Rebukes: In 2025, AIPAC sent blistering communications to Jewish supporters titled “Jon Ossoff is Failing our Community,” publicly condemning him for his foreign policy stances and delay in public messaging during Middle Eastern conflicts. [1, 2]
Ossoff AIPAC
I might have to stand corrected...I read one site from Google that had the $33,500, but can't find it... but, not to be left empty handed...."Over his career, Senator Jon Ossoff has received a total of $770,160 from pro-Israel sources. [1]
This total comprises:
- PAC Donations: $667,891
- Independent Expenditures: $102,269 [1]
But, that wasn't the point of my post. The original thread, was based on the fact that there's too much money in elections. And went on to point out the "bribes" that go to our elected officials.....that there is a $1,000 return for $1 contributed. So I just thought I'd point out that while we're canonizing Sen Ossoff on one hand, that he also falls into the category that we are putting all our elected officials, that of being bribed and accepting those bribes.
Oh, and as I posted, there is too much money in politics.
Well sure but your post implied that he was bribed by AIPAC and corporate PACS, neither which are true. He is probably the least corrupt/least bribed senators as he has spent his entire adult career fighting corruption, including before he got into politics.
Because Ossoff has a pledge against accepting money from corporate PACs, the PAC funds he accepts come from: [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Ideological & Leadership PACs: These include Democratic leadership funds, progressive political groups, and issue-based advocacy committees.
- Labor & Trade PACs: Credit unions, labor unions, and professional associations
Driven by Small-Dollar Donors
The overwhelming majority of Ossoff's funding comes from everyday individuals rather than political action committees. Over 53% of his multi-million-dollar haul is powered strictly by grassroots, small-dollar donors giving $200 or less. [1, 2]
Ultimately, while he does accept hundreds of thousands of dollars from aligned political and labor PACs, he remains one of the least PAC-dependent incumbents in the U.S. Senate. [1]
I'm still rolling with my girl, AOC. I like Ossoff a lot, but I'd prefer to never vote for another white man for any office.
let's be clear here...go back and read wwjd post on the best ROI in america....while he's pointing out Israel and corporate donations he is saying that the money in politics "bribes" politicians....well Ossoff takes money from PACS...therefore by definition, according to the post then Ossoff is guilty of exactly what the original thread proposes.
Oh and I'm not accepting corporate PACs, he accepts money from the DSCC...the DSCC gets money from corporate PACs,,,I know, because I was the one in my company signing off on the contributions...
You're not talking guilty or innocent in the taking of "bribes", you're bringing up degree of guilt.
By the way, I don't accept the concept of a political donation being a bribe. I think it's a dumb, uninformed comment. Unfortunately our political system runs on money and politicians have to have it in order to mount campaigns. And as I've pointed out, for every individual or PAC who makes a contribution to a politician - like Ossoff - there is an equal and opposite individual or PAC with an equal and opposite position making a donation.
EDIT: don't be misled by the reporting information.....These guys all get money from basically the same sources...Ossoff might not take corporate PAC money, but he'll take the same amount of money from the same people who would contribute to the corporate PAC as individual contributions. Same thing Bernie Sanders does. Bernie won't take money from a PAC, so the company has to go get individual checks, which would normally go the a PAC, for Bernie's campaign. And I'm not singling out either Ossoff or Sanders it's just the way of the world. I worked for a company where half of our Congressional reps wouldn't accept PAC money. But every year they'd come to me for company contributions. So I'd go to the execs making $200,000 or more, get their $500 - $1000 checks, put them together and hand them to the Member's finance chair. It's all a game.

Ossoff: "The president was so humiliated in Hormuz he threw his toys out the stroller and refused to sign the affordable housing bill. That's after he gave some felon donor a no bid contract for the reflecting pool and it filled up with algae, which for some reason required the deployment of the National Guard. And then because of his war and tariffs, inflation rose to over 4%. He promised to bring down prices on day one, do you remember that?"
I would be more impressed if he talked about what he's going to do as senator as opposed to just bashing trump. What's his position on immigration and those in the country illegal, where does he stand on election integrity, what is he going to do about lowering prices, etc....
I personally think the democrat strategy of a platform of being anti trump is not a good idea. But, that's just my opinion.
Yep. He is for real. We need about 99 more of that type to fully stock the Senate. Then, 365 in the House.
agreed. But when you see the unchecked corruption that this president has along with his family, any rational person would want a Democrats to have the house and Senate to be able to check that power. The Republicans put their nuts in a jar and gave it to Trump many years ago.
At the moment, there's no bigger priority than putting a check on Trump and investigating his corruption, which he has repeatedly said he will do.

Going with the @Tom Paris "every accusation is an admission" gambit.
"I know you are, but what am I?"
ok false equivalency...from the OP, people who accept legal PAC campaign contributions are accepting "bribes.. Sen Ossoff accepts PAC contributions but he doesn't accept bribes"...he's different....makes sense??
He doesn't just bash trump.
- He has a common sense approach to immigration- look it up
- Election integrity is stupid. Our elections aren't compromised, and you know it.
- He has an entire platform around lowering prices- look it up
Listen, Trump it the leader of Maga AND the loudest, dumbest, blowhard in the room. Of course Charismatic, smart, and savvy candidates are going to quote, diatribe against, and message against him. Don't act like "a strategy of being anti trump is not a good idea." Dude he's the literal president. We have (paid for) maga influencers ALL DAY schilling Trump's message and bot farms out the wazoo fighting/trolling any anti-trump message all across the internet.
Your days of lobbying for pacs is long gone. You have no idea what the fight is today, and how politicians have to fight it. Use your knowledge and connections to see how this stuff works in 2026 rather than 1976 in your heyday

Anyone actually interested in Ossoff's stances could do worse than check Wikipedia. I learned that he is less progressive than I would like, but mostly a pretty good moderate.

That poster is more of a both-sides Bins than both-sides Bins.
This is getting tiresome.
We live in an era where politicians have to raise money. Much of that process is what we used to recognize as bribery and improper, prior to the Supreme Court and Congress making it legal. But making bribery legal doesn't make it OK or honest.
If you are going to compare and contrast the sources of income for Ossoff and for Trump, or for Ossoff and whoever he's running against, great. Do that.
If you are just going to beat the bribery horse without any deeper thought, you've done that.
He's a fairly middle of the road moderate Democrat, but charismatic and electable af. People online or who follow politics more than most HAVE to realize that people like Ossoff are who will win elections. Not your fringe, extremist favorite candidate. I can't believe we haven't learned from the Bernie bro's sagaAnyone actually interested in Ossoff's stances could do worse than check Wikipedia.

I love the comparison with JFK. That's still a positive value for some of us. Not a lot of us left, but some.
We can't let perfect be the enemy of good because he's plenty progressive enough. I know some social democrats won in NY but that's not going to work in the deep south or in a presidential campaign if he decides to throw his hat in the ring, so his policies and tone are perfect in that regard. Plus, we don't want be the extreme opposite of Trump as most Americans are squarely in the middle and that's who we need to appeal to if we want to win.Anyone actually interested in Ossoff's stances could do worse than check Wikipedia.

Ossoff is a far left radical who will vote in lock step with DC democrat leadership. He will just lie hard to get elected.
