Georgia senate seats runoff(s) megathread

It's mind boggling that Loeffler is running only 0.2% behind Perdue. Perdue is atleast a normal Republican, Loeffler on the other hand is total garbage and just an all around awful candidate with no redeeming qualities.

Based state Georgia.

Florida needs to learn from it.

Oof Loeffler and Purdue are running even with Trump in Cherokee with 96% in. I think we all know where this race is headed.

Actually it's even worse than that, they are running 2.6 and 2.1 points behind Trump respectively in Cherokee.

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.

It is amazing how re-conciliatory and bridge building the tone of people like Warnock, Clyburn and the late John Lewis' was (all people who fought against and or experienced lots of racism) compared the woke-tivists crowd (mostly white) on social media who use extremely racially divisive screechy nails on a chalkboard type language. They should learn a thing from people like Warnock and Clyburn.

It's hilarious to me that Trump went full kamikaze against his own party once he realized he lost. From  depressing the turnout, to attacking Georgia GOP officials, to the 2k checks and now starting a GOP civil war for absolutely no reason.
