Best Tweet I have read on the internet today was some guy saying, "I am telling my kids Stacey Abrams is Captain America."
I agree, Stacey did such a damned good job Ray Charles got his sight back.

If the win holds up for both Dem candidates, this could be the best thing for both the Republican Party and the country.
It will finally convince some that Donald Trump is a liability, and not an asset. If half the party turns on him because of this, some normalcy may be restored.

The republican party is lost, this won't do anything but send them further into their death spiral. It's dems that need to wake up and smell the coffee on this one. An anti-carry anti white supremacist who criticized churches over their gender issues, advocated against the death penalty, and for medicaid expansion..won georgia...oh yeah, also black.
I hope we don't need to be told that we have to prop up centrists in order to defeat republicans any longer. Yall coulda had Bernie twice, lol..so maybe stop settling for the rightward normalizing drift that empowers these nutballs in the first place? It's worth keeping in mind that the Good Half of republicans are currently gnashing their teeth and tearing their garments and telling the nutter wing to pretty please stop trying to delegitimize the rigged elections it took so much effort to create. That's not me casting shade - that's the shit that they're saying with their mouths and in the halls of government....
Quote:From a purely partisan perspective, Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote only once in the last 32 years. They have therefore depended on the electoral college for nearly all presidential victories in the last generation. If we perpetuate the notion that Congress may disregard certified electoral votes—based solely on its own assessment that one or more states mishandled the presidential election—we will be delegitimizing the very system that led Donald Trump to victory in 2016, and that could provide the only path to victory in 2024.
There's the trump opposition. There's normalcy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It’s an absolute disaster for the Republican Party. The schism that already exists (Trump Republicans vs Actual Republicans) is going to solidify with the later group growing larger and bolder as Trump becomes more and more irrelevant. The resultant internecine squabbling is going to create more opportunities for Democrats.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see either a formal split in the GOP or a whole raft of non-Trump republicans switch to independent.

Rudy Giuliani is calling for trial by combat. Anderson Cooper doesn't know what that means.

Unlikely. The Bull Moose were progressives, supporting insane ideas like worker’s compensation and better pay for women.
