Another coming soon in South Carolina and it's predicted they'll lose that one too. Democrats thought they could capitalize on the president's low job approval ratings. That didn't turn out the way the Dems wanted. Congress's job approval ratings are even lower than the president's. No democratic presidential candidate has won that Georgia district since Jimmy Carter. The fact that Ossoff didn't live in that district and the fact that the huge amount of his campaign donations poured in from California and Hollywood didn't help him either. The Dems lost their largest voting base in the general election. The far left rioting on campuses and the media's constant attacks on Trump, the continual investigations, and the Dems are still losing elections. Go figure. Blame Trump all you want. It's the Dems who continue to fuck up and lose.
Stupid is as stupid does..
It took hundreds of millions of years for life to develop out of the primordial ooze. I didn't expect a rise in IQ's over the past 5 months.
You keep spouting that Dems lost their largest voting base, but my Midwestern rural neighbors have always been mindless uneducated FOX news consumers since its inception. My grandfather was a farm-bill subsidy loving dairy farmer who ran for state assembly as a Republican. He had a picture of Richard fucking Nixon on his wall until it was replaced by a picture of Reagan. In the sticks, they have always voted Republican around here. By all means, keep wishfully believing that there was some huge meteoric shift is voting habits if it helps you sleep at night. Lower voter turnout got Trump the election, and he lost the popular vote.
Rural conservatives will keep voting Republican until the pellet from the feeder bar stops showing up. Your god doesn't do a good job of putting food on the table or money in the account (unless your a TV evangelist praying off the hopeless and dumb). Once the economy turns to shit, a few switch for an election or two out of self preservation. When the economy gets better, they'll revert back to their conservative Christian value vote (what a farce).
All in all.. Nothing to see here.. Everything is as expected.. The only news here was that the vote was relatively close.
