      yeh as a Georgian these people have no fucking clue how difficult it has always been to win runoff races in Georgia running as a Democrat. Abrams couldn't do it, Ossoff couldn't do it the first time. the best time for Dems to win is in general election years, off-years and special elections are ridiculously difficult because the media hype isn't there and the turnout isn't there for Dems

      The only dude that has a fighting chance is Warnock and they're gonna totally ignore him because he hates AIPAC and instead focus on their poster white boy Ossoff, have him lose, have Warnock lose because of a lack of campaign funds, and then end up tossing the Reverend to the side for the rest of eternity as they brush Ossoff into a closet so they can bring him back out to fucking LOSE AGAIN in another six years.

        with people like Feinstein not up until 2024 and too old to run again anyway, they won't need to rotate that much. they'll have her soak up a bunch of shitty votes

    They have already activated their strategy to lose. If they had any interest to win they would have held off the socialist purge.

    Which is precisely why, I believe, they won’t get the senate. If they get a majority they can’t blame Mitch McConnell for everything and fund raise off it...well, they can, but it’s not as effective. Trump has been a fucking windfall for Team Blue, and I suspect they are secretly crying over the loss of their biggest ever money-maker.

    And I could be totally wrong— I really didn’t think Biden could squeak out a win, so my powers of prognostication are non-existent.
