Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[VBM]

Not wanting a Dem trifecta is the height of madness.

We already know exactly what McConnell is going to do.  We already know exactly where this country is going.  The Senate Republicans are beyond salvation.  They won't even recognize that Biden won the election!  The Biden presidency is going to begin with Senate Republicans refusing to pass any COVID stimulus package, and that will be the first in a series of actions intended to intentionally destroy America, so that they can blame it on Biden.  And just like with Obama, dummy Americans will believe it.  "Oh, he didn't have a good relationship with Congress.  He wasn't a good compromiser."

If it makes Biden a one term president, good.

Congratulations, you are now officially a HP

Oh my god, I would pay literally all my money to be able to jump into Warnock's body and just trash the s--t out of Loeffler.  I think this is one of those places where the Trump debate strategy is really called for.  Just call her out for relying on the same 4 lies, interrupt her every time she lies, call her a child for continually using the "radical liberal Raphael Warnock" thing, etc.

By the way, leftists, have you noticed that Loeffler's entire strategy to win this debate is to accuse Warnock of supporting "defund the police" and the Green New Deal?  Imagine if we hadn't served up those weapons on a silver platter to the GOP.

1:46 to 2:00 explains why Warnock can’t do this. White moderates don’t like to see angry black men.

I read the whole thing, and honestly lost brain cells. 

How is sending Steve Daines and a bunch of right wing kooks to Georgia supposed to help the GOP?

[VBM]

Trump has just declared both Georgia Senate races 'illegal' and 'invalid'.

Wonder what Lin Wood will have to say about this

[VBM]

At this point if Loeffler and Perdue lose it's 100% because of bad turnout in rural areas.

The margins are tracking very closely with the general election but there is evidence of bad turnout in some big rural counties.  If they lose it's 100% on Trump.  Maybe losing the Senate would wake the GOP to the toxicity of Trump.

If Democrats win this, Biden should give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Lin Wood for tricking GOP rubes into not voting

[VBM]

So Perdue/Warnock voters are really a thing.

Yes, indecisive idiots do exist

[VBM]

build the goddamn stacey abrams statue

Don’t forget the Lin Wood statue too! Lin Wood is an American hero as far as I’m concerned

[VBM]

Lol imagine being Vernon Jones right now. Became a Trumpist “Democrat” grifter because he thought it would help him advance his career in Georgia

[VBM]

Congratulations to governor-elect Stacey Abrams on winning the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election and becoming the first black female governor of Georgia.

[VBM]

The fact that David Perdue lost to John Ossoff is f***ing insane.  He literally just whipped his a$$ two months ago.  Voter suppression caused by Trump... SAD!

Give Lin Wood some credit too!

[VBM]

So I guess we have proven beyond doubt, that promising people COLD HARD CASH, is a lot more effective than whatever the hell the Democrats have been running on as of late.

Andrew Yang certainly had the right idea back in the primaries.

Hopefully the Democrats won’t snub him next time. The media’s erasure of Yang was one of the most disgusting things I saw in this election cycle.

[VBM]

It's over probably. Hawley 2024.

Wait, you don't want Trump to run in 2024?

He flipped two previously deep red states (AZ and GA) blue and both will have two Democratic senators, giving us a trifecta.

If there was any doubt Trump was a failed president for his party before, it's gone now. Don't be surprised if they start to lose faith and look elsewhere.

Unfortunately they need Trump in order to turn out the deplorables

This is as much Stacy Abrams night as it is Ossoffs & Warnocks.

This forums' complete turnaround of her in the last 2 years (Particularly the last 6 months) has been even more fascinating to watch than the actual races.


From being raked over the coals by for not conceding over voter suppression concerns to being criticized as being "too ambitious" for wanting to be Biden's running mate.

From gleefully mocking her MSNBC appearance with Biden to now championing her as a forebearer of Georgia Democrats and a potential candidate DNC Chair

I really liked Abrams prior to election night 2 years ago... at which time I was momentarily turned off by her quasi-concession speech.  But then I quickly warmed back up to her (chalked election night up to her being totally deflated due to coming so close after so much work strengthening the Dem party).  

And certainly, my respect for her continued to grow as I became more aware of just how effective she has been in helping turn around the Dem Party in GA.

Based on the reaction she got during the Biden veepstakes, you'd have thought she was 2nd to Bernie as the most hated Democrat among Democratic circles.

A lot of folks defending attacks of Harris for being "too ambitious" were more than happy to use that same attack on Abrams.

She got quite a bit of unfair treatment in the last year. As long as Georgia grows bluer and Democrats keep winning statewide, I'm never gonna forget that

The KHive are some of the most toxic people in this country. A bunch of neoliberal identity politics freaks.

[VBM]

Anyone got some funny conservative reactions to this?
