Because Georgians got to see trump and the GOp at it’s very worse, openly committing election fraud, threatening election officials, sedition, and generally carrying on like a bunch of babies. YOU got to see trump in total denial. ---

> [@JKellyMap](#): > > …some experts are pretty sure Warnock and Ossoff will win, since more votes are yet to be reported from Democratic-leaning precincts than from other ones… Nearly 11 PM. Now it’s looking more like a 75% chance of a Warnock win, but a 60% chance for Ossoff. ---

Never have I been so happy to be so wrong. ---

Yes, I called it as a split, but I will also be happy to be wrong. Go Ossoff! ---

I don’t know y’all, I’m a UGA and Falcons fan. Until it’s called, it’s not won. But I’m super psyched that at least half of my pessimism was misplaced. What a weird time! I love it! ---

What DrDeth said. Anyway, Geogians did manage to pull though . . .however I’m guessing from the tone of your post that you weren’t one of them. But that’s OK. You’ll still get to enjoy the benefits as the US strives to regain 1st world country status. It will be a long hard road. A lot of damage has been done. ---

> [@Keith1](#): > > I’m guessing from the tone of your post that you weren’t one of them. Why? Someone can both vote Democrat and be annoyed at the half of the country yelling at you. I haven’t seen the ad buy numbers in GA over the last month, but I imagine just turning on the television was obnoxious. ---

??? I am so far left I make most of my progressive friends uncomfortable. My pessimism stems from the fact that I, uh, live in Georgia and have my whole life, and I know how these things usually go. Is it because I like football? Are only Republicans allowed to like that? ETA: Oh, wait, was this about me complaining about all the mailers and texts? Yeah, that sucked.
