Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Come on, man.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

In my day, never was longer.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

This really is a full service blog.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

    Just a little proofreading note– I think the text for the Warnock thermometer is still off? Still says “recount” and the number amount seems strange?

    THANKS for doing these, in any case!

    Yeah, it should say runoff! I’m in the parking lot at the vets but when I get home I’ll fix that.

    Done.  Was thinking about this yesterday… I am sure there will be complaints about West Coast liberruls involving ourselves in this race.  GOOD.

    If I knew, you’d know. Tried begging again today. Didn’t work.

    Recount #2 takes precedence over sending links for purchased voter lists.

    I wonder what the best use of money here is going to be – if over $200mm has been dumped in the race already, how much more marginal money is going to really matter? I would think the best way to utilize contributions would be to drive mail-in ballot requests, along with general voter registration, for the next week, and then spending way, way more money on regular in-person GOTV. There needs to be some baseline of TV/digital/radio support, but at this point, we really need to optimize ground game/turnout. I would leave that to Abrams to figure out what works best.

    @PsiFighter37:  If you head over to votesaveamerica, there’s a fund that goes to 14 (?) different GOTV operations, with a pretty broad diversity including Asian Americans, Latinos, and conservation voters, plus a separate fund that can go to candidates/Fair Fight.  Because, yes, that’s where I am too.  GOTV!

    Got it, okay. I don’t mean to bug you. Is the hangup with the GA Dems?

    @DougJ: Since it was a copy from a previous thread, I took the liberty of fixing it here and in the original.  Figured you wouldn’t mind.  Hope I was right about that.  :-)

    @raven: Ugh. I really, really hope they aren’t under the impression that flooding the zone on social media is what they need to do. Dems need an epic ground GOTV game. Most of the postmortems I’ve read on why downticket Dems didn’t do better in places like KY and FL this cycle came down to one thing: Republicans connected with their base f2f and on the ground; Dems — doing the sensible thing during Covid — stuck mostly to media buys and “virtual” events. I don’t know what we can do about that given the circumstances, but it is what it is. If we can spend some money on figuring out how to keep f2f canvassing safe (and effective), that would probably be a good idea.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Problem is with the SoS office. They sell the lists. And used to deliver pronto.

    The lists are sold by country. They are tens of thousands of names. Every registered voter in the county.

    I received my Georgia absentee ballot in the mail today! I plan to fill it out in the morning and put it in the local dropbox. Time to send the Inside Traitors home in January, I hope!

    Economic anxiety?

    Joe Biden handily won Americans who make under $100,000.Donald Trump handily won Americans who make $100,000 or more.Any analysis that reduces the power of Trump to economic anxiety misses the forest for the trees. https://t.co/SLf0kGpSS0 pic.twitter.com/R14GWMD2sU— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) November 27, 2020

    @Joe Falco: Have you contacted all your friends and family in Georgia?  They are saying that is one of the things that contributed to the win on Nov 3.
