A reminder that Georgia (state) was a part of the whole 2020 election denial bullshit.
Georgia (country) has a seemingly left leaning president (wanting to join EU), but with a parliament seemingly working against them (eg overturning veto of the controversial Foreign Agent law).
This is a very very broad outsiders opinion. I’d love to hear from a variety of people living in Georgia, and what they reckon!
I’m not Georgian myself but used to work there for a while, and your observation is spot on from my experience. Their biggest issue are Russian interventions, they outright buy politicians there. Georgia is rather poor, so you don’t even have to reach too deep into your pockets.

Even US politicians are pretty cheap.
You almost never need the most popular ones.
Same thing with zios in USA. Just ask Cori Bush.
You can’t map EU vs Russia to left vs right.
The EU is a neoliberal organization, and so is Russia.
