If the Georgia election doesn't turn out the way the Democrats want

If the Georgia election doesn’t turn out the way the Democrats want, Democrats should demand a recount, and if it still doesn’t come out right, another recount, and so on. Thank you.

What’s sauce for the cause is sauce for the gander. LOL

...to give this race away. If Dems lose then the national chairman of the DNC needs to be replaced with a real heavy weight that knows how to message and repel the right wing disinformation. We have lost seats in the house and can’t take back the senate in a year when the GOP is near self destruction. It shouldn’t even be close.

Ad game as well. If we lose it's due to the sad fact a lot of people actually are just that stupid.

I saw a person who voted for Biden say she was voting for Perdue and Loeffler today. Her reason? She wants gridlock.

People hate the government so much they don't want it to function at all?
Even in emergencies?

My best guess is she wants to destroy the government, as many of that ilk do.

The stupid live and walk among us. They also vote.

As we all do from every level of government. The issue with the people who think like this is they're truly too ignorant to grasp such a simple reality.

Seat belts, speed limits, courts....

I could go on and on, but she benefits every single day from the government she hates.
Hard to imagine how ignorant a person has to be not to grasp any of this.

These are the types who wholeheartedly backed Tea Party candidates in 2010 (and beyond) believing they'd make them more "free" from big government. Now look where we are today.

She did say if Trump would have been elected she'd have voted for the Democrats this runoff. At least she's consistent in her goal for gridlock.

If America had two parties without princicples or morals, those still alive would be eating leaves after licking the dew off them.

But it won’t be long before it’s reliably blue, unless we start acting like GOPers.
