I too believe republicans are set to lose the senate.
😬
It's for the best.
This is the way
for those wondering (including me) how they could allow newly registered voters to vote in the GA Senate runoffs: https://allongeorgia.com/georgia-state-politics/is-the-ga-constitution-being-violated-with-new-voter-registrations-for-january-runoff/
Hen should have send that tweet prior to election. Not because they lost
He only got two in that video but he has others up to 8. I could never do this. https://youtu.be/IWcyBs4Jlqc
“Some of these people are actively working against Republicans,” said Seth Weathers, who served as Trump’s state director for Georgia in 2016. “I’m a hardcore Republican but we just can’t embrace some of these nutjobs or conspiracy theories and expect to build a party.”

Booooo. Floor fight!
At this point, emotionally I would like to see Republicans lose the Senate ... intellectually I think it is better for the country if they retain control of the Senate as a moderating influence on Biden and the Democrats
That could be true but maybe it's not yet State sanctioned.
So what's the story, they got loose during a hurricane and then got jiggy with it?

Well that's pretty ridiculous.
I think it's a fantastic idea.
"life-affirming structures of equality." -- While literally saying black people's voices should be heard unequally.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others
Fortunately most moderate dems don't act like this.
Summary judgment for all registered Republicans and their families hanged drawn and quartered.
I normally would agree with you, but McConnell has proven that he is an obstructionist and not a "moderating influence". If he allowed there to be a real debate and a legitimate effort to find a middle ground, it would be a no-brainer.
His obstruction is what we want when all of the bills are invading peoples lives.
Gun regulation
Medicare for all
Open borders
Climate change wet dream bills.
***HARD PASS***
No need to find middle ground if my suggestion above is taken. No rest for republicans.
The dynamic might change without an appeal to hyperpartianship from the executive branch.
The right needs an AOC
as opposed to Schumer?
During the Obama years, it was often McConnell and Biden who forged agreements that staved off some crisis. Both men are fiercely partisan, but neither view their political duties as incompatible with their official responsibilities. Biden will fight for Democrats and McConnell for Republicans, just as they always have. And no one should expect Senate Republicans to begin rubber-stamping Pelosi-written legislation anytime soon.
But both are pros, two veteran Washington knights who know how to raise their visors in friendship from across the battlefield and mean it. And both know how to make deals. Maybe — just maybe — the American people will get a calmer, more functional Washington because of it.

Not sure what this is...but its occuring.
"Patriots" annoys me. Its up there with woke, redpill and all the other words that have been overused.
Oregon is such a mess 😖
The crying calls of antifa are near identical just less polite. Much less.
Our country was formed with the understanding that compromise is a necessary component of our representative democracy. You have one side of the aisle (the right), that has adopted the stance that they will never compromise on anything - the minority party believes they can dictate their viewpoints on the rest of the country.
Not to mention that none of those things are even in the Democrat platform, with the possible exception of some level of gun regulation (I am not sure what that might be), but I think that there is enough bipartisan 2nd amendment support that this is a minor risk.
Medicare for all is not what the Dems want, they are going to put forward a public option, which should have been part of the ACA from the beginning.
Nobody wants open borders - illegal immigration is a red herring issue, anyways. A wall is not needed - Trump could have eliminated all illegal immigration by going after companies and individuals that hire undocumented workers. No jobs and they go home.
Climate Change - CA has led the way with solar power adoption and EV cars to show that a post-gasoline world is possible. In the past 20 years, solar power efficiency has grown exponentially. Solar panels now reach parity in less than 5 years. Waiting until fossil fuels become so scarce that it becomes dire makes no sense. There is no down side to having more diversity in energy generation.
Which is I said the right needs an AOC. To make wild bills then balance in the middle. As it stands now we move left, the right blocks and eventually gives in.
