Republicans hold $28 million ad advantage in Georgia Senate runoff races
Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue hold an early advantage over the airways in their two runoff races in Georgia that will determine the control of the Senate next year.
With Senate Control Hanging in Balance, ‘Crazytown’ Cash Floods Georgia (Published 2020)
After the state went blue in the presidential race, more than $135 million in TV ads have been booked in two Senate runoff elections.
Two doom articles sandwiching a ray of Stacey Abrams light, lol.
I hope she can pull this off with her genius. I'm really worried.

This is why folks who really want the Dem candidates to win need to donate their money to her and other grassroots progressive voter outreach programs, not the candidates themselves. The former represent proven, positive results at the polls; the latter, not so much.
I mean them upping their advertising feels they could backfire a bit. The tonal dissonance thanks to Trump and the divide in the GAGOP could cause a ton of damage and that's sending out waves just as strong as the marketing. If Trump says one negative thing about the two of them that'll cause a ton of damage and drown out a ton of the advertising
thats a good point. I am going to start donating to her from now on
Absentee Georgia voter here.
Still waiting for my runoff ballot. :(
Anyone else GA absentee and still waiting?
Gonna contact my county registrar this weekend and see what's up.

We requested ours just yesterday. Back in September, our absentee ballots for the November election took two weeks to come in following processing date.
Yes. Vote for the ones trying to stage a coup right now! As long as you vote it's just fine!
/s
Yeah I found that comment particularly strange as well.
I'm a Canadian, I don't care who wins either way.
The thing about voting is it's not a freedom if you're forcing people to VOTE ONE WAY, despite how awful things can be if they don't VOTE THAT ONE WAY, then you're restricting a freedom, which is hypocritical.
You still need to at least PRETEND to be IMPARTIAL, this is how you try and UNITE instead of DIVIDE.
SO in voting there IS NO WRONG ANSWER.
That's stupid. You should. It will still greatly affect you and the future of the planet.
Who said anything about forcing people? No one is trying to disenfranchise voters, or say that their votes shouldn't count, or say that one side is cheating, or try to appoint faithless electors.
OH... WAIT!
Still trying to get used to my state (I live in GA) being a political battleground. I'm getting tons of political ads in the mail, texts, and folks even coming to my door. Crazy stuff. Now I guess I know what other states have gone through in the past.
Even if you aren't directly effected by the shit in US, you should still care... It will trickle out and effect everyone.
Esp when one party consists of literal Nazis...
Holy fuck, talk about people taking a line and running with it.
That line was meant to counter people thinking that my moderate approach to voting wasn't PRO TRUMP.
I'm simply saying VOTING IS GOOD, get out and VOTE, but people in this thread seem to be pushing people to vote a certain way. This is NOT how you UNITE a broken country.
I agree with you. I'm really happy that Joe Biden has take a unification approach and I hope that starts to catch on. I'm so sick of this "us vs them" mentality. I've never seen the political landscape so toxic in this country (mostly due to Trump). But this country desperately needs some healing and that is going to take effort from both sides of the aisle.
All of this, look half your country voted for Trump, telling them that they're stupid and ignorant and bad people is NOT going to unite anything, it's going to cause more division, it's going to take alot for one side to be the "bigger person" and open up an honest dialog where you can start to see the differences and try to understand where each person is coming from to heal this mess. Level heads are what is needed.
In theory I agree with you....
But when one side literally tries their best to discourage certain groups from voting and fucking them over, those groups have a lot of difficulty getting out there vote.
I'm glad that Biden is trying to reach out to Republicans voting blocks that could be reach. I like to believe (even if foolishly) that some can be reached. Esp since some are single voter issues and those persuaded by bad properganda.
Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% not saying certain people shouldn't vote. I'm def happy that people get out there and vote/etc.
Just concerned by you saying you don't care who wins...
Anyways, we're getting off topic.

Republicans are not coming to the table in the good faith that's necessary to 'unify'. Governing or making decisions under that premise is to be played for a fool. Govern with a clear understanding of what you are actually dealing with now, instead of continuing to be the sucker.
ie, don't be Charlie Brown who gets convinced that this time Lucy won't be pulling that football away, she promises.
one can only hope

I kinda wanna make a Parler account, pretend to be a trump supporter and try to convince them to abstain. I mean it's all rigged anyway right
It wouldn't be too hard. They don't really want to vote for anyone other than Trump anyway.
I see what you mean. Biden seems genuine though and I hope he is sincere when he says he wants to be the President for "all" of America. Trump divided this country in an extreme way.
Seems really easy to take the fringe and pretend it applies to the majority. It simply does not. On either side.

That's her off the campaign trail for potentially two weeks or more, that's good. Now for Purdue
It's too late, they likely got it together at the event with Rick Scott last week. Even surviving that's 2-4 weeks off the campaign trail(if they make the mistake of trying to show up when in a weakened sick state that'd be an even worse image for them than recovering in private). And some nasty tools for certain parties
Stacy Abrams' Fair Fight organization is doing great work. It's not a political campaign, they're helping disenfranchised people of Georgia get registered to vote in one way or another.

As the election showed, high turnout doesnt necessarily favor democrats since republicans were voting in record numbers. I feel like the odds are very slim that dems manage to get both seats based on how the previous races were going. Georgians don't take kindly to large amounts of outside money coming into to try and sway the vote one way or another so I could see that backfiring
I mean sure but that's on both sides. Meanwhile one GOP candidate is off the trail for at least two weeks recovering, the GOP is disenfranchising their own voters, Trumps own lackeys are bashing the gop candidates and it's likely Trump himself goes nuclear in 2-3 weeks. This isn't a normal runoff by any means
