It turns out that we've learned that AOC was running Facebook ads in swing districts elevating herself and the squad specifically in areas where it would do the most damage. She was actively working against against the party.

If this is true, it explains a lot and it terrifies me about Georgia. It's all going to come down to turnout.

Obviously this is where you and I differ but you should probably get ready. The Georgia runoffs are the whole ballgame. It's going to become Team AOC vs Team Abrams and only one side has delivered real results. Georgia is about to get blasted with ads featuring AOC. We need to denounce and reject her on every level just out of strategy because at the end of the day she's a liability we don't need.

She's going to go whether she wants to or not because her district will be redrawn. It's the same thing that happened to Dennis Kucinich. He was my rep and a good one for a long time. Then he climbed up his own ass and started chasing the spotlight and other Democrats decided he wasn't worth the trouble.

There's a world of hurt headed AOC's way over the next few weeks. Abagail Spanaberger finally said out loud what so many of us think, which is that the far left costs us more than they get us. AOC's already acting out on Twitter against Democrats and the Lincoln Project and she's about to get checked hard especially by Black Twitter.

I'll always remember an interview Joe did shortly after he declared where he talked about Beau and said, "Beau should be the one running for president right now, not me." It was such a gut punch because it made me realize how much Joe was looking forward to seeing what his son would accomplish and how that wound can never fully heal.

I'm tired of these Republicans getting COVID and surviving it.

But they are the ones most in harm's way. They've already arrested a couple QAnuts in Philadelphia headed to the vote counting location. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/two-arrested-after-police-get-tip-of-convention-center-threat/2587411/

It's easy to say "stand up to bullies" when you aren't an election worker counting votes in Philadelphia or the Maricopa County election center while an armed mob of lunatics takes pictures of your license plate outside.

I like this one.

That and they're afraid of what his supporters will do when forced to confront reality. The moment they call it their offices will be hit with hatred and death threats. CNN should probably send all of their non-essential people home early and pre-emptively hire some security. We must be related. This song has been on my post-Trump playlist for years.

Oh this classic. "Saint Maria of Wildwind-tending to the sick in her push-up bra" will never not be awesome. I miss Pine Valley so much right now.

This video is kind of perfect and it highlights the difference between us and them. Repubs are only happy when they are trolling or being cruel. We take our joy wherever we can find it.

With two runoff elections, the next few months are going to be insane in your state. You are about to be flooded with crazy ads and cash from every corner of the planet. Back when Ohio was a swing state, nothing was more insane than when Sherrod Brown was up for re-election. The next few months are going to make that look like kindergarten nap time. I fully expect that these runoffs will become to two of the most expensive Senate races in history.

For as much as we talk about this mess spreading in America, it's sadly a global phenomenon. I remember seeing video of anti-mask rallies in Europe where people were talking about Bill Gates microchipping everyone. Once we have a decent Sec. of State again along with purging the intelligence community of Trump bootlickers will be able to start coordinating with other countries to address this.

There's no way to avoid how bad Trumpers are going to get. The next couple of months are going to be heinous no matter what.

Buttigieg has been a very pleasant surprise. I had issues with him during the campaign but he has clearly learned where his strengths lie. I think we'll see good things from him in the future.

I can confirm that the backlash against Fox is real. I have a friend who married into a MAGA family and we were just talking today and he confirmed that they are all saying that Fox News has "gone over to the dark side."

Spanaberger is right. Progressives keep pushing unpopular policies and hanging them around the necks of red and purple state Dems with lousy talking points. Then they turn around and claim Dems are bad at messaging. Stop using the word socialism. Don't try to explain it. Just stop using it. Stop using a word that makes it harder to get what we want. Why is that so hard? "Defund the police" actually harmed the BLM movement. After George Floyd's murder the support for BLM hit a record high of 67 percent. Then came "defund the police" and that horrible scene of BLM protestors surrounding that woman outside a Georgetown restaurant and support dropped by 20 points. Yeah, Schumer isn't the right man for this moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these people just want out now. They managed to raid the treasury and now they want to go.

YESSSS! Gurl, let's do this!

I told you so. AOC always goes back to attacking Democrats. Also if she wants to talk about people who lose elections perhaps she might remember someone named Bernie Sanders.

Damn, that's heartbreaking. She's been such a rock star. She deserved re-election so much more than the squad.

Of course. It's terrifying to realize how many truly, deeply, evil so many of our fellow Americans are but we need to face it for our own survival.

Democrats need to come rolling up in this mess ready to throw down. These folks need an ass-whooping.
