Quite interesting how someone as politically engaged as REP is only saying he would "probably" vote in the Georgia runoffs if he lived in the state. Obviously, one person isn't indicative of the entire GOP, things like this should cause a bit of concern for Republicans. Imagine an Atlas Democrat, for instance, saying they would only "probably", that would be a big sign of trouble nationally, since most Atlas users have a greater understanding of electoral consequences than the average American.

Maybe, but Red Eagle is a very silly person so I don't think anything he says is representative of anything.

But that's one product of Trumpism for you. We have to remember the average voter, whether they're a Democrat or Republican, generally isn't the brightest bulb when it comes to politics.

They aren’t grifting off of audiences it’s not exactly the same

Very true. Still a lot of lower info voters are the audiences of these sorts of things.; someone they follow and look up to on twitter tells them to boycott and then they tell their friend too. We've already seen how powerful misinformation on social media can be.

She's in a no-win position with the question about whether she believes Trump has lost.  If she says that Biden won, some people will not go out to vote for her.  But, if she says that Trump is going to still prevail, it will bring some suburbanites into Warnock's camp.  That question was one she realistically had no choice but to dodge.

That's a hell of a self-indictment on your party...

The socialism thing is what Democrats have to try to tamp down from now on

It's all Republicans talk about, socialism, socialism, etc.

Also, the police thing is killing Democrats electorally.

I wonder if the Georgia police unions made any endorsements.....

stfu you were the one who thought biden would crash in nassau and suffolk and he didn’t, you are more robotic than loeffler

I find it hilarious how Biden actually did better in Staten Island, Nassau, and Suffolk. But Biden did significantly worse everywhere else in NYC

Why was the Ossoff debate not broadcasted? I feel like it should be a bigger deal that Ossoff was literally there debating an empty podium...

I saw a clip on the evening news.  Ossoff's willingness to go on the debate stage anyway and point to an empty podium while roasting Perdue for being a no-show was a gutsy move. I think the whole thing was brilliant.  This could be enough to win the race when we're talking a virtual tie in polling.

I was scrolling through Ossoff’s tiktok, and he definitely is running an energetic campaign, far more so than Warnock. Ossoff seems to be taking a #populist tone against Perdue. I think he may do better than we thought.

Yeah I think the Perdue/Ossoff race will be closer than the Loeffler/Warnock one at this point.

Why did Ossoff not bring this energy before November then? He was just 0.3% away from being denied the chance to go to a runoff at all, and that would have cost Democrats the Senate. Warnock at least had the excuse that a runoff in the special was inevitable.

Just a reminder that politicians do have the choice to say the right thing from time to time, rather than the politically expedient thing. That's always an option.

Maybe he did but just never gained traction.
Regardless why dwell on the past?
What matters is we are in a fight right now.

Uhhh, I feel like this could end very badly for Ossoff and Warnock:



They're already being characterized as communists, terrorists, and Chinese puppets in the ads--anybody turned off by a Bernie endorsement has already long ago bought into the narrative.

Huh

In honor of Kelly Loeffler, I encourage everyone here to change your name to Radical Liberal Raphael Warnock. Use capital Is and 1s if you need to.

He did, he just got crowded out by the heated presidential race and the other heated Senate campaign. Ossoff has been killing it, there's a reason Perdue won't show up to these debates, his ads are great and he's going to win.

Yeah Ossoff did that memey ad where he was walking down the street towards the camera that made the ladies of Resistance Twitter swoon.

Warnock is literally a Christian Marxist, the worst possible combination of things.
