If you are from Georgia please get out to vote. The election is going to have national effects for the next 2 years. Our voice needs to be heard.
How? Dem’s control Senate regardless of GA outcome. VP breaks Senate 50/50 tie, and I suspect she is a reliable liberal vote. Takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass a bill, except for some appointment conformations.Run Hershel Run!
We need to try our best to keep the Senate 50/50. Libs will have a lot more power if they have 51 seats.

And these committees can do what in a 51-49 Senate that they can’t in a 50-50 Senate? I see grid lock either way and no noticeable difference in legislative outcomes either way. Maybe I am missing something.The committees will be 50/50 if it stays even. Otherwise the democrats get a bigger share.
Though to be fair, it cuts both ways. Manchin and Sinema have been helpful on our side - particularly with respect to the filibuster.Problem is Kevin that "Republicans" like our own Murkowski can swing it the other way . Heck even Sullivan has mostly been a spineless simp.
Hershel Walker isn't qualified to be a pizza delivery driver let alone a United States Senator. 2026 will be the GOP's opportunity to knock out Ossoff but only if they nominate a sensible candidate.
I think that is a pretty ugly comment.Hershel Walker isn't qualified to be a pizza delivery driver let alone a United States Senator. 2026 will be the GOP's opportunity to knock out Ossoff but only if they nominate a sensible candidate.
If you look at some of his past comments, you will have better understanding.I think that is a pretty ugly comment.
According to his financial disclosure for his run for senate, his business ventures have earned him at least $29 million. The Daily Beast and other democrat rags have tried to undermine his business claims. Like a lot of entrepreneurs, he has succeeded in some and been less successful in others. But the disclosure form was prepared by his attorneys and will withstand scrutiny. Not bad wealth accumulation for someone not qualified to deliver a pizza. Curious how you stack up in comparison? He has certainly outperformed me.
Or maybe you don't like the way he talks? Not articulate enough? That is very thin ice to embark upon when judging a black candidate. Were Walker a democrat the press in this country would howling racism over the way he has been criticized and treated. But he isn't, so he safely can be called things like unqualified to deliver pizza by you.
Committees control much of the advancement in various areas. A 50/50 would be better for these nominations and votes coming out of the committee before full votesAnd these committees can do what in a 51-49 Senate that they can’t in a 50-50 Senate?

All 51 means as far as I can see, is one Dem can’t hold up an appointment. Would take 2, assuming the R’s band together.
