anyone in or near the state should try and canvass if they feel safe and have the time and money to do so. I'd be vary of donating much to either campaign given the lack of difference a huge donation lead made in loads of senate races though.

This needs to be quoted on every page:
Also, for a really comprehensive list of BIPOC-led voter outreach organizations in Georgia:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ho5HxLJhuWxy1QKzi4_7Ryt6Nvk2wm3RakOgeGiOWK0/edit#gid=0
These folks, with Stacey Abrams' FairFight org leading the way, represent the most successful efforts Georgia (and some other states) has yet seen for getting progressive Dem voters to the polls! If you're not able to phone/text bank or knock on doors, these are the folks you want to be sending your money to if you wanna flip these seats. (As the first tweet explains, the candidates will already be well bankrolled by the party.)

Donated! This is the key to so much! Please do everything you can to have a productive Biden presidency!
I don't want to sound defeatist, but Democrats winning both Senate seats in GA seems really unlikely.
you said this about Biden winning tho so lets hope you're just really bad at predicting elections
Breh...let's hope. Also, this reminds me of a thread of mine I need to bump. Brb.
Or reinvigorate them to push harder to stop evil Joe get control.
I gotta say, this is the one thing that really gives me hope.
Democrats are excited and invigorated and angry.
Republicans are a cult of personality that just lost their leader.
Alright donated to Stacy Abrams' grassroots campaign! Hope this helps out for right now. Thanks for the link mikhailguy!

With what Stacey Abrams was able to do and will continue to do, and with the possibility that Trump and the GOP might turn on one another even just a little bit, there might be a damn good shot. It's an uphill battle but we have to remember that Georgia is fucking blue for Biden. With the right campaigning, right messaging, and the right ground game, it can be done.
To put it another way: Abrams and the 2020 election has shown us that Georgia is now as purple as everyone thought Florida was.
and you know trump isn't gonna campaign for anyone but himself. hell, he threw mcsally under the bus while standing next to her in arizona!
meanwhile, president-elect biden can literally be out there encouraging his voters to vote in the runoff. if all of his voters do that, then the two senate candidates win, period.

A good chunk of Trump supporters only show up when he's on the ticket, look at what happened in 2018. Republican turn out will go down.
Down enough to close the gap? That's what we have to make sure happens.
Massive massive amount of ticket splitting because of people willing to buy Collin's shit. A disgusting amount of it.
That's awesome! Go Progressive Go!
This thread must stay on the first page of EtcetEra Forum at all times until runoff night.
We finally have the numbers to make this happen. We just have to believe and stay motivated. I'll make sure my wife and I add +2 to Warnock and Ossoff. Will be donating as well. Hopefully we can reach as many Georgians as possible and make 2 Georgian Democratic Senators a reality.
I'd move to Georgia if I could. Would it be dirty? Hell yeah it would, but the game has changed. We get nothing out of being noble while the opposition move to destroy democracy at every turn while having their fill.
This thread needs to be stickied. There is an actual shot of making this happen. If democrats want it bad enough, we can make it happen!
-Better healthcare!
-Proper Covid Legislation
-Stimulus Bill not being held hostage by Moscow Mitch
-Fixing the Judicial Branch
-And countless other possibilities that vanish if these elections go south and we enter gridlock with Mitch and his cronies blaming Biden for a lack of progress. People fall for that shit too.
These two elections are insanely important, more than the majority will realize. I don't see us having another shot at majority for at least a decade or more. Let's make this happen!

Shower thought tonight, here is hoping that trump's attempt to destroy americans faith in our democracy and election process also helps to lower republican turnout in GA if they believe it's rigged anyway.
God I hope the DEMs turn up the heat in a major way. It's just too easy to think it's over now that the main target is down and 2 months is a LONG time for people to cool off the high of victory.

That's why I'm striking while people are high on the victory. I'm getting a high rate of yeses on volunteering and or donating by personally asking my friends and family.
Stuck the thread to the front page. Seriously important stuff, y'all!
Apologies about that, just circling around to checking out the report queue this morning.
