So what's the strategy for the GA run-offs?

What do you think is going to need to change to put Ossoff and Warnock in office?

One thing is that I think door-to-door work needs to be a part of the plan. If volunteers distance and wear masks, I don't see why that should be discounted, in the way it has until now.

Bringing in Obama and Harris to further in-roads with black voters, I think.

This is a great opportunity to give Biden a semblance of a chance to get his agenda through the Senate. How are Democrats going to get this right?

all you need is a GA state issued ID and you can register and vote Jan 5th.

I can work from anywhere... so I'm looking at some furnished monthly rentals...

It's a long drive, but... my mother was born in Georgia so this is me "going home" for a few months

but the usual thing is that you can deduct the income earned for a partial year in one state on the other states income tax. But even it it costs me some money, it will be worth it.

Trump will not be on the ballot and we may be seeing a demoralized MAGA base. If Dem turnout can be juiced up enough I think there’s a shot.

If there's *any* benefit to us not getting the Congressional/Senate victories we'd like in the face of Biden's victory, it's that Democrats will realize we still have tons of work to do to convincingly win elections. It takes all of our passion, time, effort, and money, and that's often just to barely squeak by. NEVER take any election for granted. As you say, a renewed Democratic turnout with a demoralized MAGA base may be the formula needed.

Also I think we got to stress that stimulus that Mitch is blocking. Keep a upbeat message that We can.
