This shit would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad. Yet hundreds of thousands will still vote for a snake who doesn't give a rat's ass about them.

Georgia Senate Runoff: Jon Ossof (D) debates empty podium
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
I pray that Jon isn't pretending there is someone at the podium though. Right? He isn't, is he?Cuz that'd be crazy.Kind of like this
but actually meaningful.
All they have to do is tell Georgians why they are going to get them the stimulus money on a monthly basis, and point to the scoreboard on how Republicans have went almost a full year blocking the stimulus money.
It's not supposed to matter to Trump Cultists. It's supposed to matter to independents and swing voters. We'll see if it does.
It's the horeshoe theory, we've gone so far left we are right.Kind of like this
but actually meaningful.
Unbelievable how shook Perdue is after that last debate.
Even more unbelievable that people will vote for a man so shook.
Even more unbelievable that people will vote for a man so shook.
He's got an R by his name, so all the morons will come out and vote for him anyway.
Seriously this. We already know they're shitty people who will either do or allow others to do shitty things. Don't waste time on that. We've had 4 years of that, we haven't forgotten that quickly even though we as a country have the memory of gold fish. Focus on what you can do for people to get them to the polls to vote for you. Talk about delivering, because as shitty as republicans are, they deliver their shitty agenda for their constituents each and every time.
Warnock got more votes than his opponent
Perdue had more than Ossoff. But in the other race that had like 20 different candidates, Warnock had the most overall. But when you add up all the votes for Dems vs votes for Repubs, Republicans came out on top again I believe.
Oh did he? Could have sworn he lost. Guess it was just Ossoff.
There were two Republicans though, so that split the vote. The third place Republican almost had 1 million votes.
yeah 2 republicans split over 2 million votes. Warnock got 1.6 mil iirc. Republican turnout vastly outnumbered the support for Warnock
To be fair, that election had a total of 20 candidates. 8 of whom were Democrats and 6 were Republicans. Altogether there was about. 2.378 million votes for Dems and 2.426 million for Republicans. A 1 point loss, definitely not a beatdown and actually a little better than how Ossoff fared vs Perdue. Although having so many candidates may have had something to do with that.
Cowards still going to vote for a man that doesn't care about representing them, to the extent that he's terrified of being challenged on anything in front of an audience. Ossof is completely right - it disqualifies him from being able to call himself a leader.
Maybe if he U-turns and embraces the wildly popular progressive policies he's been running away from.

Ah, we're at the part of the play where we pretend Perdue showed up to debate and kicked ass.
Delusional cult.
I feel the Senate seats are locked. Between this clown show, and Trump pushing Republicans not go vote in January, the Democrats should see another victory.
And the clincher is that, sadly, they so often get away with it. I mean, if you were your typical sociopathic GOP politician, would you bother to work for actually helping your constituents if spouting bigotry and "Radical Socialist Democrats!!" was all you needed to do to sew up their votes?
It's like shooting fish in a barrel for these people.
I'm not feeling good about beating Purdue since he's an elected incumbent and it's a special election. But Loeffler was never elected and she's as awful of a candidate as Martha McSally, so maybe we can beat her. Unfortunately, if we split the races, we still don't get the Senate. I'll hope for a miracle from Stacey Abrams, but I'm not expecting easy wins.
Serious question- why aren't big name Dems out there campaigning? These are extremely important races.
