Stacey Abrams has a long list of achievements to include turning Georgia into a “blue state” this past election to be discussed during interviews.

Oh Gayle King, can we get away from the gossip fest.

Stacey Abrams is trying to save Democracy.

To dumb-down a woman's worth to only caring about romantic relationships is just disappointing.

It also makes what she is doing seem less urgent, when in fact it is.
