Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We still have time to mess this up!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

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

He really is that stupid.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Within the Margin of Effort – 28 Pairs of Boots On the Ground in GA (We Have an Angel!)

I’m pretty sure we are all tired, I know I am.

And half of us are probably eating ramen noodles because we dug deep for this election.

But GA is most definitely within the margin of effort.  So can we do this one more time?

We funded 27 pairs of boots on the ground for AZ before Nov 8.

After helping drive voter turnout in Arizona, Worker Power – a project associated with Unite Here labor union – is heading back to Georgia for the second time to get out the vote.

Here’s a link to an article about the Worker Action contribution in turning AZ blue in 2020.

This group knows how to turn people out for elections, and it’s hard to imagine that they didn’t also have a huge impact in AZ again this year.  And they know GA, because they were in GA for the runoffs in 2021.

Every $1,000 we can raise will fund one person on the ground for the GA runoff – for a week!

Do we have it in us to fund another 27 pairs of boots on the ground for Raphael Warnock?


Donate

They are serious, they have thought this through, and they have a plan.

Come with Worker Power to the 2022 Georgia Runoffs!

Reverend Senator Raphael Warnock is running to keep the seat we helped him win in 2020. Let’s go push him over the top and win the Senate!

We will have our work cut out for us, because Georgia Republicans reacted to our 2020 victory in the Georgia runoffs by changing the law to make it harder for us to win: instead of six weeks, the runoff will now occur in half the time, and organizers will need to ensure that voters turn out again less than 30 days after Election Day, on December 6!

We are still finalizing plans, but canvassers will fly to Georgia on Monday, November 14. We will be working through the election (with one day per week off) through election day on December 6. Canvassers will be returning on either Wednesday, December 7 or Thursday December 8.

Experience: since time is short and training is difficult, Georgia participants must have previous canvass experience and, generally, a recommendation from a partner organization.

Because the timeline is so short, we will need to canvass after it becomes dark around 5pm. We will follow 2022 safety protocols, including ensuring canvassers are in close proximity to one another after dark and canvassing any areas of particular concern during daylight hours.

Even with this rigorous schedule, we will only have 17 full days of voter contact. For this reason, we cannot allow for any special circumstances: every participant needs to commit to the full schedule.

More details that tell me they have this planned out and know exactly what they are doing:

  • Schedule: canvassers will work 8 hours every day except Friday for the duration of our stay in Georgia
  • Pay: Canvassers will be paid $25/hr for 5 days. Overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours in a single week.
  • Food: Everyone will receive $200/week for food. Paid meal break schedule TBD.
  • Drivers: All drivers will receive their own rental car; not everyone will be expected to drive.
  • Thanksgiving: Members of our canvass team will get a ticket home or for a loved one to come to Georgia.
  • If you travel home, you must depart on Wednesday and return on Friday.
  • You may choose to forgo a plane ticket and receive $375.
  • You may work on Wed and/or Fri and be paid for working those days.

14 people each week for 2 weeks of voter contact could be the difference between winning and losing.

Let’s win this!

Update:  I just received email from a Balloon Juice Angel offering a $1,000 match up to $50 per person.  We met that match!

Update 2: I just received email from a second Balloon Juice Angel with another $1,000 match, same rules.

I’ve been getting multiple daily begging emails from everyone involved with his campaign; donated once, have deleted all the rest. This GOTV effort seems like a better place to put the little money I’m squeezing out of the turnip 😊

    @Trapped Lurker: I can’t bear the thought of losing Warnock, either, and not just because he’s one more DEM vote in the senate.

    Warnock and Ossoff are both GREAT senators, and even more than that, they are great partners and there is a synergy between them that I’ve not seen between senators in a particular state  in long enough that I don’t even know who might have had that before them.

    Together they are more than 1 + 1.

    We can do this.

    In for $100. As a Georgia resident, I really can’t tolerate the idea of having Walker represent me in the Senate for the next six years. And even putting aside my anti-Walker sentiments, I would support Warnock regardless — he’s been great over the past two years, and I can’t wait for him to take his Senate seat for a full term.

    Thanks, as always, Water Girl, for making this happen.

    This is great…I’m in.  Some of my colleagues here in Los Angeles represent the parent organization, labor union Unite Here Local 11.  The organizations under the umbrella of Local 11 and its affiliates (in So Cal, AZ and NV) have done an extraordinary job with turnout in AZ and NV, especially in the last two cycles (Worker Power in AZ, and the Culinary Union in NV).  So they know what they’re doing when they also head back into Georgia.  They have the infrastructure in place and just need additional funding.

    Georgia voters, please support “Walkers For Warnock“. Make this a thing!

    Walkers For Warnock, a newly formed organization of potential step brothers and sisters who know or suspect that Herschel Walker is their biological father, has announced plans to support Raphael Warnock in the runoff election for the Georgia Senate seat. The Atlanta based group announced it will hold “Walks For Warnock” each Saturday until the election.

    The rapidly expanding group plans to walk 2.4 miles from the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, where both MLK and Warnock preached, to Planned Parenthood’s East Atlanta Health Center, one of several locations patronized by women impregnated by Walker, the former football star and GOP candidate.

    A spokesperson for Walkers For Warnock says their goal is to rally support for Warnock and abortion rights, but at the same time, “it’s an opportunity to celebrate our lives, bond with our newly discovered step siblings, and pay tribute to those that might have been.”

    Walkers For Warnock has step brother/sister affiliates in Dallas, Minneapolis, New York, and Philadelphia, cities where Walker lived during his football career. Each has plans to announce their own Walk For Warnock event. The sheer number of members in those areas exceeds those in Georgia, but they cannot vote in the election. However, they are eager to raise funds for the reelection  of the Democratic candidate, Raphael Warnock.

    Facing accusations from the Walker campaign that Walkers For Warnock members are simply angling to reclaim unpaid child support, a Dallas-based member shrugged it off.

    “That’s ridiculous. He don’t have enough money. There are too many of us. Like I’m gonna spend my weekends walking across town for what, like $8? He run off on us. Now, we’re gonna run off on him.”

    And I just love everything about the step sibs coming together to be Walkers for Warnock.  He is despicable, but his kids seem pretty amazing.

    @unrelatedwaffle:  I totally agree!  And thank you Water Girl for all your work and organizing.  In for $500,  Whew.  We’ve got to win this one.  I saw Schumer explaining the difference between 50 and 51 senators, and having 51 eliminates A LOT of Repub BS and wasted time in doing votes, for judges especially.

    @A woman from anywhere (formerly Mohagan): Wow, thank you!

    Yes, 51 senators makes a huge difference.  It eliminates a lot of the “power sharing” bullshit.

    We have one Balloon Juice Angel match to roll out.  I had put it up in a new post, but another post went up 10 minutes later, so I pulled that.

    So for now, this is the post for the angel matches!

    This is Balloon Juice Angel match #3, for $1,000!  

    Donations will be matched at up to $50 per person.  Everyone is eligible for this new match.

    I am closing the laptop for the evening, but donations will still count toward matches, and I will check first thing in the morning.
