Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

[Red Velvet]

Senate Republicans really shot themselves in the foot by blocking the $2000, they could’ve had better results here than in the presidential election.

Not surprising at all they’re underperforming in solid Trump counties.

The disappearance of the working class voter without Trump in the ballot is hilarious. Wonder how Republicans will sell the “working class party” narrative without Trump from now on when they are firmly against popular economic stuff like the $2000 stimulus.

So in the end of everything the black radical socialist anti-police anti-military anti-imperialist christian guy won with a better margin than the more moderate bland democrat guy? In Georgia?

Interesting. If it were the opposite people would be saying that it shows how going to the left is horrible in swing states. Yet the leftist guy had the better performance.

He ran against an appointed, corrupt, race-baiting, out of touch opponent. Ossoff ran against an Georgia-born elected Senator whose cousin is a former Governor and member of Trump's Cabinet.

Okay but Warnock was supposed to be very unelectable based on his progressive stances. He’s clearly more to the side of the Bernie group, having more of an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist background aligned to the anti-racism (reminds me of what MLK preached). Yet that regular narrative that it should be bad for the party in a swing state failed in practice

Good that democrats regained the senate but I’m especially happier for Warnock, more than for Ossoff.

Warnock is not a "progressive". He is a standard Democrat by any definition of the word. You can evidence this by how the twitter progressives are not really behind him. Evidence of a candidate that is a great fit for their constituency unlike folks like Eastman that the a section of the progressives got too greedy with the in general.

I don’t think you listened to some of his past speeches...
