I'm talking about pushing for the policies that are popular with most everyday people, such as Medicare for all, a living wage, etc. — ToothyMaw
"fucking retards" — Hippyhead
If the Dems win the Senate and we shove all of this down the Repubs throat, they will simply repeal it all the next time they are in power. — Hippyhead
If we are to achieve anything truly sustainable we'll have to find common ground with at least some Republicans. — Hippyhead
Many or most Republican voters are actually pretty reasonable people who have some valid concerns. — Hippyhead
Many Republicans voted for Trump because WE lost them, as the Democratic Party has gotten in to the unfortunate habit of often ignoring and even insulting the average working person. — Hippyhead
The election of Trump was OUR failure. — Hippyhead
we need to reach out to these people, show them some respect, and try to win them back. — Hippyhead
unlikely to happen if our focus is on yelling names like "fucking retards" and "war criminals" etc at them to get our jollies off. If we insist on yelling such names at our own committed allies, then it is we who are the fucking retards.

What exactly was the error? — tim wood
And it's interesting that you appear to find enough virtue in clearly flawed white men who were president, such that they get a pass, and yet Obama rates apparent hatred as the worst. — tim wood
And my question, that you ignored, is who is your choice — tim wood
What you may be is not an account of what or how you think. If you think it is, then you're "hoist by your own petard."The reason you want to hold off on this kind of accusation is that you never know when the person you're talking to is half Filipino and half black. — frank
When the fuck did I say that? — ToothyMaw
What about Bernie? He never belittled working class people; he quite obviously had nothing but respect for them. — ToothyMaw
But is there anyone you wouldn't shorten by a head? — tim wood
And that might be reasonable, were I doing that. But is there anyone you wouldn't shorten by a head? if not, then you're not especially reasonable. — tim wood
It's not reasonable to expect reasonable dialog with Streetlight. — Hippyhead
Boy this thread has degenerated — Metaphysician Undercover
The vindictive part of me wants Biden to win the nomination, and then watch with glee as he loses the presidency - as he obviously will - and watch democrats wonder HOW THIS COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED. — StreetlightX
but I don't really have anything against the guy I just wish he'd get some help. — BitconnectCarlos

Republicans have taken a narrow lead in the tabulated vote, but the Democrats are clear favorites in both races. The overwhelming majority of remaining votes are in the Atlanta metro area, and while the race remains competitive, there's no indication that the Republicans are poised to outperform expectations. The big Democratic vote left: the DeKalb County early vote. We expect these 170,000 votes to break for Ossoff by an 85-15 margin.
We have the tools in Georgia to run the cleanest, most transparent, most auditable election in the history of the state - and nobody believes it. — Georgia Election Official
