Here's why we lost GA last night (Original Post)

(2,531 posts)1. I know a lot of people who stayed home
because they were so bummed out over the General. One person told me it was "pointless." Another said, "they'll rig it anyway. Why bother?"

People literally died here in GA for the right to vote. 1.3 million people who voted Democratic in the November election stayed home.
If 5% of them would have voted in the runoff we'd have a Dem. Sec of State. Not pointless at all they are just lazy. Took me all of 15 min to vote yesterday.

but truly frightening. And yeah, I voted in about 15 minutes, too. And that was also sad.
