I like neither of the current R senators from Georgia -- I can't see the outcome, but I did spend a little time focusing on the one I like the least - Loeffler. All I got from her is a read that she's incredibly confident she's going to win - wondering if that's an indicator that there might be some fraud going on.
There was also anger - lots, and lots of anger. Don't know if it's because she's having to continue her campaign, or something bigger than that but "Insider Trading Barbie" does not appear to have a lot of light in her soul.
I had a vision night before last. When I closed my eyes, I saw the outline, in black, of the Senate buildings in DC. Then they changed to the outline of many human heads. It flashed back and forth like that several times. Then Moscow Mitch appeared, in the form of a turtle, and his mouth was snapping and snapping but he couldn't bite anyone.
Freaking weird- for what it's worth, I took it to mean that the runoff will go to the two Dem candidates-here's hoping.
Mark Cuban went on TV and said he hopes people will give to the food banks instead of the runoff races-pissed me off. Yes, of course you should give to the food banks, but it is imperative we win these races.
@polarberry I agree with you completely. What Mark Cuban should understand is that food banks will be less needed if we can flip the Senate.
These rats would turn on their own mother if it would help them win: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/embattled-gop-senator-suggests-trumps-presidency-is-over-during-private-campaign-meeting-with-karl-rove/
The SoS of GA in his interview about the threats he's getting is also really worried that the election fraud rhetoric is actually going to turn off potential GOP voters because they don't trust the process. I can actually see that happening tbh.
Oh look... it already may have happened: https://twitter.com/JustinGrayWSB/status/1328782492913033219?s=20
You are a good person to care so much for the same people who would only laugh at your disillusionment if your right to vote was tampered with. Never lose that light.
Having said that, perhaps it is a good thing that Republicans feel a little disillusioned about whether their votes matter right now. They have been in control for decades as the party of the minority that has used its power over the majority. And what have they done with their power? Deny global change. Give tax cuts to the rich and make us pay the bill. Using gerrymandering to lessen the power of Democrats and Independents in many areas. Enact laws to make it harder for many people (aka-minorities and the young) to vote. Pack the courts with right-wing hacks that want to take away health care and the rights of women (the mere fact that the politicians are passing laws in Republican states that take away abortion rights for all women, including those who are children raped by men and are now carrying their children....SERIOUSLY?! You would have a 12 year old child raped by someone to carry a baby full term? Or a rape victim whose right to chose was taken away from her?).
I remember when Republicans rejoiced when Bush v. Gore was decided, and how demoralized Democrats were. They won the popular vote, and yet their votes didn't matter.
So why shouldn't Republicans feel demoralized once they accept Trump lost? Why shouldn't they feel as though their votes won't change anything? It is not like Democrats caused it. If anything, Republicans deserve to feel marginalized as a group for a while, so that they won't be so eager to trample our rights.
Sometimes pain needs to be shared to be understood. I hope they take this time to reflect on what they have wrought on themselves. But if they won't, then they will hopefully lose interest in the government, which will give the rest of us time to try to fix all the damage they caused.
@polarberry I like your vision of MM not being able to bite anyone. Maybe it means he’s handing over losing the majority leader position. Going to see it as that!
share the love and light
