Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The revolution will be supervised.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Infrastructure week. at last.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

A lot of you have asked for GOTV groups to give to. Here’s one that Maze Dancer has talked a lot about, Four Directions, that is dedicated to getting Native Americans to the polls. That could be crucial in Arizona. We raised some money for them last time.

And here’s a Senate race I really like: the special election in Georgia. It will probably go to a run-off but maybe not: the polls are looking really good these days for Raphael Warnock. Collins and Loeffler are beatable clowns.

    The GA special is interesting.  First, I don’t see how Warnock gets above 50% on Tuesday, if I am proven wrong I’ll be dancing in the streets.  The polling that I’ve seen is mostly Warnock against Loeffler and it looks like he will win in this case.  But what if Collins makes the runoff?  I haven’t seen any polling of Warnock against Collins.

    At this point, it seems that the likeliest scenario is two runoff elections in GA in January.  I haven’t seen any poll giving Ossoff or Purdue more than 50%.

    @evap:  Warnock leads in head to heads against both Rs.  I would also be surprised if he outright won with over 50% but my gut tells me he’d do better against Loeffler (due the latent misogyny of a lot of R voters) than against Collins.  Of course, I’d also be hoping for some bad blood from the supporters of whichever R lost on Nov 3 that would maybe keep some of them sitting at home in the runoff instead of voting.

    Kattails mentioned earlier this week that Four Directions (thermometer up top) along with 3 other groups is trying to raise $25,000 to set up a shuttle service to get Navajo voters to the polls, because many of them live 50 miles from a polling station; they hope to mobilize 38,000 voters.
    Kattails, we couldn’t find an Act Blue setup for the 4 groups together, but hopefully these donations to FourDirections will help!

    Thank for the four direction thermometer. I’m in. I donate to Rev. Warnoff weekly and am daring to hope he can get to 50% on Tuesday.

    @raven: the latest AJC poll had Perdue 47%, Ossoff 46%, and Liberterian Shane Hazel at 4%. So you may be treated to two runoffs. TV and radio stations will clean up on advertising. Everyone else will just have to grin and bear it.

    @Geminid: I never gave Ossoff much of a chance. He has the thinest resume of any of the Democratic Senate challengers except maybe Gross in Alaska. And he doesn’t  seem to have exceptional charisma. But political analyst Rachel  Bitecofer asserts that negative polarization expressed through demographics currently is more important than candidate quality. She may be right.

    There go two miscreants

    In for both of them. I’ve donated to Four Directions before. I like that they are willing to leave a message when they get voicemail on my phone; most calls just hang up.

    @Geminid: that’s “negative partisanship,” not polarization. Bitecofer explains the concept well in her February 2020 New Republic article “Hate is on the Ballot.” Her longer analytical work is published by the Niskanen Center and her new website, The Cycle. She keeps up a very informative twitter feed as well.
