Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[MT Treasurer]

Regular is Likely R; Special is Lean R. Biden only won Georgia because of Trump's collapse in the suburbs; these people are not giving Democrats a trifecta even though the filibuster is here to stay. Only hope for Democrats is if Republicans think the election will be rigged and don't show up.

If there were that many of those people, GA-R wouldn’t have gone to a runoff. I do think the people you’re describing exist in non-insignificant numbers (enough for Perdue/Loeffler to win narrowly), but make no mistake: the writing is on the wall in this state, and the last thing Republicans should be doing right now is getting too cocky because of some belief that runoffs inherently favor Rs in the state/GA will ‘snap back’/etc.

Also, most of the D gains in places like Gwinnett aren’t a result of ancestral Republicans switching parties but rather demographic shifts/D-friendly migration patterns/generational turnover.

Imagine running a statewide campaign on a platform of fighting against cancel culture... Republicans truly trying their best to stay relevant in Georgia.

Exactly, just look at Henry County for an illustration : Obama 2012 = 46% / Biden 2020 = 59%

The explanation ? Black people moving in the county. In 2010 the county was 36% black, in 2019 it was 48%, do the maths, all the democratic growth was due to black voters.

If Democrats don't spend the next 2 years reminding suburbanites that a vote for ANY Republican is a vote to enable people like Greene, they don't deserve to get shut out 435-0 in 2022.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

High quality discourse? Ilhan Omar's dunking pretty handily on both of those garbage bags.

Plus I doubt Marjorie Taylor Greene's family tree has many forks, so she has no room to be engaging in that particular wing it conspiracy theory.

[Roronoa D. Law]

Oh no, I'm starting to like Omar now.

Pweeeeassseee

We would be so owned

[Bootes Void]

 Majority Taylor Greene's shouldnt talk, her family tree is probably a circle

[KaiserDave]

but democrats shouldn't tie MTG to republicans because reasons

[7,052,770]

Never let her live this down.

David Perdue, to his credit, never debased himself like this.

Civility bruh. Joe Biden and the Republican congress are going to get so many deals done as long as we're civil. I promise.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

Because there are probably more effective attacks.

Whatever, let them do it.

Sure, but leaving this one on the table isn't a bad idea. Introduce the population to the lunatics. Literally why not. At the very least raise awareness.

Agreed. It's time that Democrats started playing dirty with tactics like Republicans have had success with.

Odds of a possible big rw boycott of the run offs of Trump loses? 👀

Speaking of which, is there a breakdown of the Texas Senate race by congressional district?

Didn't I say a few days ago that I wouldn't be surprised if Loeffler contracted coronavirus, following Rick Scott's diagnosis?

[VAR]

Are you guys going to tie Paul Gosar to Kelly's future opponent too? Or maybe Chemtrail Kelli?

IA Dems must be feeling sad that they didn't tie Steve King to Joni Ernst. It would've been an easy pickup if they did, amirite?
