Georgia went blue again on the day when a couple from the SPN universe officially became cannon. I’m having flashbacks

#in all seriousness I'm glad the democrats did better than expected last night #the gop will probably take the house but hopefully not too big of a majority #and Pennsylvania voted blue for the senate!!! #also super happy that the state measures for abortion were pro choice - even in a state like Kentucky holy shit #also the night went bad for trump but went great for desantis #i hate them both though #its too close to call for Arizona and Nevada but hopefully the dems can get those seats and keep the senate #because id rather have incompetent dems than a gop that's literally a death cult and wants to murder lgbt people #us politics #bernie sanders #2022 midterm elections #Georgia #raphael warnock #herschel walker #republican copium #no red wave #kung pow penis #runoff elections

Latest GOP bullshit update!

Because the GOP believes in nothing like they believe in voter suppression, the only Saturday that would have been within the early voting period for the Georgia runoff is now unavailable because of a. a law Georgia Republicans rammed through last year to cut runoff election periods in half and b. a ludicrous rule related to Georgia state holidays. That means that the early voting period is now limited only to Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, which--per GOP standard bullshit--of course makes things difficult for everyone, but especially for the groups most likely to vote Democrat.

So it is super important that if you live in Georgia and can vote, you do so--and check your options/available days now. Confirm your voting status, check and double-check your voting place and the available hours, and start planning now if you might need to vote early or if you can go on Election Day. Below is a link on voting rights in Georgia re: getting time off from work to vote.

https://faq.georgiavoter.guide/en/article/getting-time-off-work-to-vote

Losing the Georgia seat could cost the GOP the ability to deadlock progress there, so they are going to disenfranchise as many people and throw up as many extra barriers to voting as they can, because they know that’s the only way they can win. Spread the word so that anyone who was counting on a non-weekday voting day has enough advance notice to make new plans.

[stupidcowboykid]

you young people decided--and saved-- this year's midterms.

dont let yourself become disheartened by the election results. we held the line.

because young people voted, we did not see the "red wave" that conservatives so desperately wanted. because young people voted, we saw people of color elected, women elected, LGBTQ+ people elected, small amounts of marijuana decriminalized, antislavery ballot measures approved (i know, in 2022). Because young people voted, we have pro-choice, anti-racist, pro-union, candidates in office. Because young people voted, trump-endorsed candidates lost their elections.

the fact that we did not lose is a win. it could have been so, so much worse. thank you, young voters.

P.S. to the people with runoff elections (see Georgia), go vote again. we are so close.

So anyways, the midterms didn't turn out as horrible as I feared, but there are things to talk about.

First, we lost the House. There are lots of races still uncalled, but it's pretty much a given. But Republicans will likely only have a narrow majority there.

Currently there are three outstanding Senate races that will decide control of the Senate. Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada. We have to win two of these to maintain control of the Senate.

I think we're going to win in Arizona. There are a lot of votes still coming in, but most of the outstanding votes are coming from blue counties and early ballots, which tend to favor Democrats.

Nevada isn't looking good. The Republican candidate is leading by almost two points and there's a lot less outstanding votes there. And Cortez Masto (D) is underperforming even in blue counties like Clark (Las Vegas) and Washoe (Reno).

That leaves us with Georgia. Warnock (D) just barely edged out Herschel Walker (R), but because Georgia's election rules say that the winner must reach 50% of the votes, it's going to a runoff on December 6th. This is really important. We pretty much have to win Georgia in order to control the Senate, and stop all kinds of Republican nonsense for the next two years (impeaching Biden, national abortion ban, legislation banning the forgiveness of student loans, disruption of aid to Ukraine, etc.)

There's also reason to worry because there was a Libertarian candidate on the ballot in Georgia who probably drew some votes away from Walker (In America, Libertarians are just Republicans with extra steps or Republicans who like weed), and they won't be present in the runoff election. If even half of that guy's voters decide to vote for Walker, Warnock will be toast.

Consequently, he'll need a big fundraising/advertising push, so that he can motivate everyone who voted for him in the midterms to turn out and vote again on December 6th, less than a month away. Here's what you can do to help:

If you live in Georgia, vote in the runoff election! It's too late to register to vote for that election, but you can submit a request now for an absentee ballot for that election if you're already registered.

You can also volunteer for the Warnock Campaign. Things like phone banking and knocking on doors to get out the vote are crucial.

Donate. If you can afford it, even small contributions can help the campaign buy advertising and get the word out about the runoff election.

Georgia Supreme Court reinstates six-week abortion ban.

         With less than two weeks before the Georgia Senate run-off, the Georgia Supreme Court has reinstated a six-week abortion ban. See CNN Politics, Georgia Supreme Court reinstates six-week abortion ban. Political “experts” in Georgia claim that ruling will have little effect on the runoff. See Channel 11alive.com, Political impacts of Georgia abortion ban and Senate runoff. Per Political strategist Brian Robinson,

“Voters have been tuned out, traveling, seeing family, watching football, not necessarily talking about politics or reading about politics . . . And people aren't going to vote in a referendum on an abortion issue.”

         That’s right, a male political strategist believes that women voters are too busy “watching football” to worry about the criminalization of reproductive liberty. Spoken like a man who is being paid to suppress turnout. Mr. Robinson apparently missed the results of the 2022 midterms.

One of the biggest differences between a 50-50 Senate and one with a 51-49 Democratic majority is committee assignments. In a 50-50 chamber, all of the committees are also evenly divided. That gives Republicans extra procedural tools to slow down business, even if they can’t stop things up entirely. But in a 51-49 Senate, Democrats will have majorities on all of the committees. This really comes to play in confirmations of presidential appointments, where the GOP has been able to gum up the works for the past two years. With 51 senators, Biden will be able to get a lot more appointments through, including those very important lifetime judicial appointments. And with Republicans controlling the House, the chances of Congress doing any substantive legislation is slim, so confirmations will be an even bigger part of the Senate’s business.

Jacob Rubashkin at FiveThirtyEight on why the Democratic net gain of one US Senate seat makes a huge difference.

So

Herschel Walker eating shit is absolutely a good thing for the people of Georgia, and I am happy that they won't have to deal with that asshole

But

Guy who still owes all of us $600 and who didn't bother to show up to vote on paid sick leave for rail workers not eating shit is probably a bad thing for national politics moving forward.

Hey Georgia, if I'm correctly early voting starts state wide tomorrow. I just saw another clip of Walker saying something almost as stupid as his takes on abortion and insulin. So, get out there and get this asshole *gone.*

Interesting Statistics

In the recent midterms, 27% of people aged 18 to 29 voted. This is the second-largest turnout for this age group in 30 years.

Of those young voters, 63% voted blue.

(x)

Just think how well Democratic candidates would have done if more of this age group had bothered to vote.

Please vote next time, and in every single election. It WILL make a difference if everyone who is eligible actually votes. Georgia, I'm looking at you:

"Walker embodies everything the Republican party has claimed to oppose: violent crime, abortion, homes broken by absentee fathers, race-based affirmative action and straight-up incompetence. And yet no matter what Walker is accused of, up to and including acts many Republicans define as murder, he retains the support of the Republican party, and his race for a Georgia Senate seat remains a tight one."

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D), also a pastor at Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, has won the Georgia runoff.

Warnock defeated former football star Herschel Walker (R), winning 50.6 percent of the vote to the Republican’s 49.4 percent, as of an Associated Press call late Tuesday evening.
