Georgia Voters.. Its a scam to keep you home!!!!!! trust me

[Peacetrain]

All the stories you are hearing about Trump voters not turning out.. is to lull you into a false sense of security.. it is not concerning for Republicans.. they are trying to suppress the vote with this false narrative.. to keep Democrats from taking the time to vote because they think Republicans are not going to vote. They do not believe that for a second.. They all know Biden won, and the only way they can keep the senate is to keep Democrats from being enthusiastic and getting out to vote..

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!

[paleotn]

1. Regardless what the other side does....

the only way we win is more of us turning out than the other guys. And that means everyone who possibly can needs to turn out, absentee or vote early. Everyone!!! Nov. 2020 proved that without a doubt. Had a few Dems in AZ, NV, the Midwest and GA figured Biden was a shoe in, we'd be under a fascist dictatorship by now.

So I second....VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!

3. You froze me for a second...

"Had a few Dems in AZ, NV, the Midwest and GA figured Biden was a shoe in, we'd be under a fascist dictatorship by now."

What you said really sunk in more so than at any other point.

We MUST vote.

[paleotn]

16. One thing not factored into the polls was the massive turn out

for Trump. Few saw that coming. In total votes for Dems and Reps, there was a 19% increase in turnout compared to 2008, Obama's first run. While our 80M+ for Biden is historic, it's only a 15% increase from Obama's total in 2008. The Republican turnout was 23% higher than McCain's total. In short, the Repukes closed the 2008 gap with a Hitler wannabe at the top of the ticket. That scares the shit out of me. We can't rest on our laurels. We've got to keep increasing our base. We must all vote and we must get our friends and anyone we know to vote.

2. Given what is going on post election

If I was an African American voter in Georgia, I might perceive that this was my last chance to vote in a free and open election. Only control of the House, Senate, and Presidency gives the opportunity to stop what is surely coming in states controlled by Republicans. It might already be too late.

[gademocrat7]

4. Just received our absentee ballots!

2 votes for John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock!

[Peacetrain]

5. Huge hugs sent your way.. I cannot wait to play Georgia on My Mind non stop in January...

The Georgia voters can be the frosting on this cake.. Love ya all you Georgia Voters who are turning the state blue.. You are my heroes

[DFW]

6. Unless loafers and slippers have something to do with the election

The expression is „shoo-in.“

It has nothing to do with shoes!! (except in Republicanese)

[paleotn]

17. Damn the English language...

Damn it!

[DFW]

23. Lol!!

In the South, we had a children‘s song „Shoo fly, don‘t bother me.“ So most older southerners should know how to spell it. In rural areas, people used to say, „Shoo!“ instead of „get lost!“

Republicanese, unlike English, allows you to spell anything the way you feel like spelling it as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row. The same with using an apostrophe to form a plural. A Chevy and a Ford are two „car‘s,“ but a Chevy, a Ford and a Renault are three „cars.“ There is no school anywhere in the English-speaking world that teaches children to form a plural with an apostrophe. It doesn’t exist in English. And yet Republicans do it constantly.

[cwydro]

47. I see it quite frequently here as well.

“Tow” the line is another.

[soldierant]

26. You are correct, of course. But you know what bothers me more

"Nip it in the butt."

[KS Toronado]

7. This could very well be their "thinking outside the box" game plan

You don't need to vote because we aren't, request your mail in ballots Georgians.

[jaxexpat]

8. The dull, dissonant thud, centered in your stomach was realization of the fact....

that Georgia's voters hold the key to everything.

Folks, the salvation of worldwide hope for the potential embodied in the United States lays squarely on the backs of black Georgians and the VERY, VERY small percentage of white Georgians who will vote Democratic.

It's important that Georgia's Republicans be extremely despondent, filled with doubt, insecure and depressed to the state of lethargy or they'll show up at the polls and vote per their training. Poll watchers: watch closely and film everything.

[orangecrush]

20. Word

[xxqqqzme]

41. True enough

We ALL need Georgia's voters!
They are voting for: expanded Healthcare; new Stimulus legislation; Social Security; aggressive Covid-19 protocols; green jobs; clear skies; clean water; climate change recognized as a threat etc. because without the Senate the mitchy republicants won't.

[Historic NY]

9. There still was a chunk of none voters or those that didn't check off a box for the Senate...

Georgia Democrats have to capture those votes....

There aren't multiple candidates this time. Lets hope the libertarians don't go Repuke

The Special needs to pull together all the Democrats & Indy's

[yellowdogintexas]

12. Phone bankers from across the country are emphasizing this

Every attempt is being made to contact all the registered Democrats in the state. Currently we are working on applying for absentee ballots. Starting Dec 6 the focus will shift to GOTV.

Sometimes we have to explain why this election is even happening.

[Historic NY]

24. .

[Upthevibe]

35. yellowdogintexas.......Thank you!

My plan is to phone bank for both candidates from here in California if that is how I can best help. I'll do whatever they most need to have done (from long distance).

[Progressive Jones]

14. I'm pretty sure we can count on the Libertarians voting red. nt

[LymphocyteLover]

10. No Dem should be lulled into security about an election ever again

Also, I do like to think that Trump wants to burn the GOP down at this point and take some of his cult members with him to start a new thing

[yellowdogintexas]

11. I've been making calls down there and everyone I talk to is enthusiastic

about voting and some are working voter registration until Dec 7th. One man told me bluntly "we have to get rid of that Majority Leader and this will turn the corner"

"All of my family is voting for Ossoff and Warnock - 6 in all"
"I am block walking for them"
" working on anyone who will stand still to get them to the polls"

Many of them did not know that folks who turned 18 between Nov 3 and Jan 5 could now register and vote. They also did not know that you could still vote in a runoff even if you did not vote in the general.

Down here, you can't vote in a runoff if you voted for the other party in the first election but that applies to runoffs after a primary, not the general. I am certain different rules would apply.

When I would tell them I was calling from Texas, they were very surprised and pleased we would go to that kind of trouble. Then I told them folks were calling from across the country they got exited. One lady said "Now I know I need to do more than just vote. What can I do to help?"

If you want to help out, both campaigns and Stacey Edwards' group are scheduling phone banks and organizing postcard campaigns. Her group is called Fair Fight.

[Historic NY]

25. I've been contributing to Fair fight only because she has to

reach out further....find out why many didn't vote for the Senate in the first round or for one of the other Democrats. She has a good ground game.

[KPN]

13. Yup. Rope-a-Dope. nt

[McCamy Taylor]

15. Republicans always turn out for special elections

[Roc2020]

18. oh yeah. Got my application for the absentee ballot

ready to go!!

[orangecrush]

19. Truth

[Ilsa]

21. I'm in GA, & I got a call asking me to join some "nonpolitical" group that

Supports gun rights, anti-choice, and "family values". I was polite and educated her about a few things. Then, at the end of my call, she informed me that I wasn't registered to vote here in GA. I told her I have voted, in person, absentee, and early, since I moved here five years ago. None of the call made any sense.

[OldBaldy1701E]

27. Trust me

there is no depth to which they will not sink, there is no lie they will not tell, there is nothing they will not do in order to keep the order they want in our society. The Rethugs have to be shut down. The party is too corrupt and too extremist to be an effective representative political body any more.

[Tanuki]

22. Karl Rove is heavily involved in fund-raising and strategy, and he

is one of the all-time slimiest purveyors of dirty tricks.

[BobTheSubgenius]

38. He most certainly is. He learned at the knee of the Godfather of Dirty Political Tricks.

Lee Atwater.

The most telling anecdote about Atwater, IMO, is from when he was in the hospital, dying of cancer. Someone had given him a Bible, and he later made a point of saying how much it had helped him and given him comfort.

When he died, and his personal effects packed up, his Bible was found, still wrapped. He never even opened it....and LIED about reading it and how it helped him.

A lying, POS Republican hack. And now there's Rove.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. I agree, it's psyops directed at Democrats

The only way you win an election is if everyone takes it to the hoop. Everyone.

[Larissa]

29. Do not take anything for granted

Vote as if your lives depend upon it. Because it does.

[CovingtonDemocrat]

30. Dec 14th. Early voting here in GA and I will be in line 4 Warnock & Ossoff.nt

[gopiscrap]

43. welcome to DU

[CovingtonDemocrat]

45. Thanks...nt

[gopiscrap]

46. you're welcome

[oldsoftie]

31. Well, trust ME, they ARE out there. And it shocks me even for THEM.

The way they worship trump I cant believe it, but I know TWO people who say "Its rigged, why should i waste my time? They (Perdue & Loeffler) are weak republicans anyway. They havent backed trumps election fight (WTF????)". I'm totally serious.
Then there's the "write in Trump" campaign on Twitter. We're in bizarro world.

[Politicub]

32. Agree 100 percent. The GOP is pouring money into the

state at a rate higher than democrats.

[Upthevibe]

36. Politicub....

Does anyone know if there's any "Bloomberg" money that will be given? Tome Steyer money? We need to sink every penny we can into this election. I'm not working and am living on the unemployment I received through July (which ended then) and I'm still going to send $25 to each campaign. I've also sent emails to my friends with information on both campaigns and how they can help. Everybody needs to do everything they possibly can!

[Ruby Zee]

33. I start making my calls to Georgia voters tomorrow! n/t

[Iris]

34. No one believes that shit

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. Of course, the big prize was the White House, but I REALLY thought the Senate was in easy reach.

I'm sure many did. It's not often you get a "do over" of sorts, and I really, REALLY want GA to bring this home.

[Blue Owl]

39. C'mon Georgia!

[applegrove]

40. No doubt many GOP voters are lying to pollster to make it look better for Dems.

They'll call it the shy North Atlantic Right Whale (Georgia state animal) voter.
