You’re right (highlighted portion of response). As I understand it this is being hailed as a good sign for Democrats. Implying that mostly Democrats vote early. If I accept that premise I’m left wondering why they aren’t turning out as much as in the general election. We can perhaps say 30% of the 625,000 are Republicans. I think that might be overly generous though.
Yes, agreed.
I used to work in GA. Buckhead is a great party town. The whole area is much more liberal than people think. Theres a gay section in atlanta where all the crosswalks are rainbows and stuff.Hah! Even when you take what should be my side, we still disagree!
My gut says the Dems will fall short, because . . . Georgia. I find it hard to believe the Old South will relinquish so easily. But I must admit the numbers as reported in the article are reasonably positive.
I do swear, that if GA turns Blue, I'm going to visit when it's Covid safe! I want to get a feel for what Southern Liberalism is like, and how it sits alongside the remnants of the Old South. Hopefully, it's moderate & sensible and can still reference its conservative roots. If Georgia goes San Francisco, I think I'll cry.
I finally broke down and read Chomsky's article. It says that the Democrats numbers are 80% of what they were in the last election and the Republicans are at two thirds. So both are down at this point compared to the last election. Republicans just more so. Republicans have a good ground game prepared for election day and both parties have events planned to get out the vote. It could go either way. Another nail biter coming up. Let's hope it doesn't take long to resolve this time.
Thanks. My pleasure. Have a great new year's eve.
Very thought provoking thread Chomsky. Thanks for giving me something to think about.
Thanks for the 411.
I'm thinking Bearpoker and her ilk believe they can get a high-level job in the new Communist government. Maybe as an SS officer
I don't. I was responding to a leftwing gripe.
Yea, but leave the bigger cities and it turns into hickville pretty quick.
In the general the burbs split their tickets. Question is: Will they now take out their disgust with Trumps shenanigans out on the Republican candidates?
Can democrats steal another election? Advocating for people to move into GA to cast votes, more mystery mail in ballots, failure to verify signatures or no signatures at all? Hopefully there will be much better over-site for this election than the previous one.
Strong early-vote turnout gives Dems hope in Georgia runoffs
Democrats are encouraged by stats that show their voters are overperforming with early voting set to conclude later this week.www.politico.com
It appears there's some positive signs for Dems in the GA early-voting stats. The article is chock-full of details, and I've included some excerpts above. But, I do suggest reading the article - if you're so inclined.
The democrats and the media have to sell the idea that the democrats can and will win so they can manipulate the vote more easily. This is what they did in the presidential election with claims of Biden's huge lead in the polls. Sell the illusion of winning before they steal it.
Trump wants Biden’s fraudulent votes thrown out.
Yes. Democrats are all geared up. They promise to remember to steal both elections this time. Kamala threatened to bring out her whip if they forget again.
To paraphrase that icon of Republican polity, Sarah "Mama Grizzly" Palin, "All of them!"
