Andrew Yang: "Evelyn & I Are Moving to GA to Help Ossoff & Warnock"

Andrew Yang🧢🇺🇸
This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but let’s go!!! 😀🇺🇸🚀

*************

The best thing we could do for Joe is to get him a Democratic Senate. There should be coordination of resources. Everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia. I’ll go. It’s the only way to sideline Mitch and give Joe a unified government.

I always got the impression that Bloomberg's main focus was on getting rid of Trump more than it was on supporting the Democratic agenda in particular, but if he wants to get rid of Trumpism, stopping McConnell will be a huge step. And it won't cost as much as contributing to a national election.

Could someone rent an apt, get a drivers license, and vote in the time left?

You get a primary home or an apartment, you get a driver's license. Seems like that's all that is needed.

"How to Register to Vote in Georgia
Once you meet basic Georgia state residency requirements, meaning you have a primary residence in Georgia and are no longer claiming residency in another state, you can register to vote in Georgia — the next big step toward becoming a legal Georgia resident."

I looked into it yesterday. The deadline to register to vote in January runoff is DECEMBER 7.

Sounds like time to go help John Lewis’s friends.

"Georgians who didn’t get signed up in time to cast ballots in the Nov. 3 presidential election now have until Dec. 7 to register to vote in the Jan. 5 runoff for U.S. Senate, which figures to capture the attention of the nation."

And pay close attention to what she says, especially about the need for effective use of social media networking and other campaign infrastructure ideas. I'm talking tools, not policy.

I'm all in. It is worth it. I could go and become a resident in the next few weeks. I lived there for 6 years before moving to my current state of NC. My employees can manage my business for a short time and I can come back to check in from time to time. DUers sharing a residence makes sense.

He's one of the future leaders of our party, if not a leader already. I'm glad he ran for office and raised his profile and the concept of UBI.

He is one of a number of great talents we got to know better in the Democratic primary campaign, many of whom would be GREAT in a Biden/Harris cabinet.
