    Can anyone explain why some people would vote for Warnock and not vote for Ossoff? Is it the black vote, or is Ossoff "too liberal". It's not like Loeffler is a great candidate.

    The reason why the democrats won was the black vote. 70% of whites voted republican. 90% of blacks voted for Democrats. A lot of black people showed up to vote. I think it was pretty smart to pick a black candidate. Maybe two would have been safer.

    ossoff was also more known than Loeffler who bought her way into a retiring seat.

    There was the "big money" push 10 years ago to embrace the Tea Party right wingnuts. As is, "serious" Rs can win primaries.

    I support most of these to an extent.

    She should throw in legalizing weed and pardoning non-violent weed offenders.

    There are still people who vote for the integrity of the candidate and not the party....the way it should be done. This is not a swipe at any particular candidate. This isnt my state so Im not dragging out my pom poms for either side. Loeffler seems a bit sketch. Perdue comes off as a POS.

    Trump does deserve credit for exposing many of these terrible politicians the Republican party have been harboring for decades. Georgia has been a breeding ground for the good ol boy system. Hopefully Stacey Abrams can turn GA more moderate. Dont make the mistake in believing GA is a blue state. Living in the state for 5 years, I felt it was backwards and hated living there. The politicians being sheered off the last couple years is long overdue. A more moderate proactive Republican will do much much better. (Can I say I am glad Doug Collins got the boot!)

    LMAO the fact she's posting this after she just voted Pelosi for speaker without extracting anything from her regarding these issues is such a joke.

    Note to AOC: When you give up your leverage for free the only thing you can PUSH is a TURD out of your ASS.

    Personally, I wish the democrats would focus on getting dreamers on a fast track to citizenship so we don't have to go through the DACA mess down the road again (if a republican were to win presidency in 2024). Would love comprehensive immigration reform, but I don't want to get clogged up on the details and rather focus on those contributing to our society to have full citizenship, we can worry about legislating the rest later.

    I don't think Biden bucks are going to give you enough good will to make it to 2024, but I like your thinking.

    Do you believe that anyone deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point?

    I don't. Show. Don't tell.

    This is as good a time as any to push for universal healthcare.
