If you're looking for more ways to contribute, send a postcard to inform GA voters about the runoff elections. They haven't updated for the runoffs yet, but keep an eye on their website:

it's worth pointing out that pinning a thread seems like a good way to ensure no one ever clicks it. maybe that's just a me thing, but i always subconsciously skip pinned threads.
OP
OP
haha I was thinking the same thing, I only noticed we had a new member thread after this thread got stickied.
This thread will be better off out in the wild tbh.
I agree
It would be better for visibility purposes to have this thread unpinned
It's a bit of a balancing act tbh. You're right that compared to a really active regular thread, a pinned thread is less visible. But for threads that don't get a lot of posts, being in the regular section is death. Falls off the front page and into the memory hole.
Unfortunately, I feel like this is more the latter, so it'll stay pinned for now. We'll probably do some site-wide alerts later in the year as stuff like the registration deadline approaches to help boost visibility.
I can talk to the tech team, but all that occurs to me off the top of my head is pinning a duplicate thread with the same OP that links to this one, which would be unpinned. I don't think one thread can be both sticky'd and not at the same time.
They have to hammer home the Georgia GOP is straight up lying about protecting pre-existing conditions. Hang the GOP's desire to take away people's healthcare around their neck, and and Ossoff/Warnock might have a chance.
If you look at the more than 100,000 votes the libertarians got, it seems hard to believe those votes will go towards the democracts.
It doesn't seem a smart election strategy to tell voters in a state that went for Biden that their vote was illegitimate.
Like there were 100,000 people that voted for Biden but went Perdue. He can't win if those voters turn on him.

I wonder if the best strategy will be to just simplify the messaging to "If we win this runoff, Georgia and the USA gets COVID relief in the form of more stimulus checks and more unemployment checks. Get your money by voting for the Ds."
Because when you really boil it down to the short term, that's what this is. The Republican-led Senate isn't even entertaining a stimulus vote since the House passed a measure in May. It's bonkerballs.

Yes, this is probably how simple the messaging should be.
Put another way, the line should be "this election, from voters on both sides, was a change election... if we don't win those two seats, nothing in Washington will change."
BS translator:
"We whites are outraged that the Georgia Republican Secretary of State didn't rig the election in our favor! He will let black voters win the runoff elections for the Democrats, too, if he's allowed to remain in office! This is unacceptable!"
OP
OP
If exit polls have shown us anything, this needs to be the next step forward. People feel like they're better off ever since they got those checks.
They need to stress that these senators voted against relief and Mitch McConnell will continue to block them unless they win.
Good. These calls are dangerous not just due to the January run-off but because GA is heading towards a recount.
The disinformation blowtorch has already been turned your way, Raffensperger. Stick a fork in it, you're done.
You lie down with dogs...
Exactly, I've been reading a lot of people on the left saying turnout will dampen without Trump on the ticket and people on the right saying it'll increase turnout for them because they don't want to lose the senate as well as the presidency. In reality it'll be an extremely close race and we don't really know what will happen
