Stacey Abrams

By the way, has she conceded yet?

I'm holding out for capital punishment.

[Horace]

I've gotten so many emails from the Abrams team. Somehow I got on the DNC mailing list. Never have been on the GOP list. I found it remarkable how smiley and nice she tries to come off as. No anger there at all. Interesting direction by her handlers.

@horace

Funny I’ve gotten none.

And I donated to Biden this year.

Joe did tell folks in Georgia that if they elected Dems, the $2000 checks were coming.

That's expensive vote buying....

[jon-nyc]

With no context it would be.

But the President proposed it, the house supported in with a bipartisan vote, and a majority in the senate has said they'd vote for it.

It's only the turtle that is preventing a vote. If the Dems take the senate, turtle takes a seat in back.

I just heard on the news that Project Veritas has the black guy that's running as a democrat ( can't think of his name) his staff admitting and laughing about having thousands of ballots with the same address - 2001 Washington or something like that.

Seems unlikely. They're individually coded and tied to registered voters.

Also, don't we just log in to the Dominion machines from Croatia and change some numbers?

I'm just telling you what the guy's staff said when they thought no one was listening.

It’s a homeless shelter that multiple people use as their residence. Without knowing the law, definitely seems like a grey area. Are you able to vote if you’re homeless? How?

[George K]

From the RWEC, a fair and balanced assessment:

"For the Democrats: Replacement-level progressive pencil-neck Jon Ossoff and Castro-curious Jeremiah Wright fanboy Raphael Warnock. For the Republicans: Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, two pols so bereft of charisma and an agenda that they’re running instead on their willingness to do literally anything Trump tells them, potentially up to and including committing murder if asked. It’s a microcosm of American politics in 2021, two dubious leftists versus two pretend-MAGA zombies. Good luck, swing voters."

The last week looked like it was trending Democrat control of the Senate but today the picture is a bit brighter for the GOP in a close race. Maybe today’s turnout was better than expected, but it has also been acknowledged that any polls on this were likely to be crap.

I am looking at the futures exchanges for the first real clue of a Democrat flip.

One can only hope enough people understand the value of divided government. In any event, if the D's win control, it will only last two years and they are hardly a united party.

And the GOP is? LOL.

It’s starting to look like dem control. Get ready.

@mik

I understand the value of divided government but the difference between 51-49 one way or the other isn’t huge in terms of policy. Bigger difference when it comes to judges or just what’s allowed to come up for a vote (e.g. the 2k stimulus).

It really does feel like there’s space for a centrist party and one each for the loony toons from both sides.

@xenon

If we had a parliamentary system we’d probably have one or two.
