There are no do overs in elections but if President Trump had conceded on election night, GOP senate candidates in Georgia could have argued against a Democratic trifecta in DC. Instead, GOP is likely to lose majority and is left with tomorrow’s dead end protest

I’m breathing a hell of a lot easier this morning. As happy as I was to see the orange thing get the boot, I knew that leaving McConnell with a majority would hobble Biden’s ability to get things back on track. As of last night, the Democrats needed both seats in Georgia to have any real hope of putting things right and I was afraid I’d have to be content with one win out of two. Winning both seats seemed too much to hope for.
A big thanks to everyone who organized, everyone who contributed, and everyone who knocked on doors to make this happen. It’s been years in the making, and the whole world can breathe a little easier now. Pelosi will be introducing legislation in the House, Biden will be setting policy in the White House, and Harris will be breaking ties in the Senate. Just hang on for two more weeks.

Something, something, something Seth Rich’s murder and “According to recorded testimony from our whistleblower, Rosenstein, together with Pence’s knowledge and consent, went on to help engineer the entire coup attempt against President Trump – in an attempt to oust Trump, and promote Pence to the Presidency, at which point, Pence would turn around and appoint Rod Rosenstein as VP. Thankfully, Rosenstein failed. But he almost didn’t.”

@germy: In my experience, and sadly I suspect we all have experiences of this type, it is when I get good news in the wake of really bad shit — that’s when I become weepy. It’s not happiness, exactly, not relief entirely. It’s like the previously harnessed pain gets an escape hatch in tears.

@Baud: AND we will get a 20 dollar bill with Harriet Tubman on it. That’s not nothing.

@BruceFromOhio: Me and Mrs. Fuckhead are beyond thrilled. We worry about him, of course, but we also high five each other over the fact we’re going to be very rich soon because we no longer have to buy his groceries.

Good news! You can help bring a steadily increasing river of blue to your home state (and others), by joining http://PostcardsToVoters.org or one of the other GOTV volunteer organizations.
PostcardsToVoters and the FL Democratic Party have teamed up to increase Democratic voters’ use of Vote By Mail, which has a 4-year effect on all FL elections.
They will undoubtedly be teaming up with FL in-state and statewide Democratic candidates to GOTV for those elections.
They’re my favorite group, because they allow volunteers to contribute in tiny amounts (= write 5 postcards in 3 days). As I’m an achy-handed, whiteout-reliant writer with plenty of other obligations, they’re perfect for me!

@Dorothy A. Winsor: Of course he has to blame Pence. It must always be everybody/anybody else’s fault. In wingnut land they’re blaming Georgia on McConnell.

@debbie: “Since lawsuits now flow so freely, can someone please file one against Donald Trump for dereliction of duty since Nov. 3rd?”
I wish I had time to read the morning thread on this great day, but this made me think of a CNN clip I saw last night of Gabe the Georgia elections guy doing an interview last night. He was alternating between speaking as a state worker and as a Republican. My thought was, I wonder if he is counting these hours as state employment time. You’re not supposed to be discussing your politics on that time–major violation (but totally the norm for republicans as we all know).

@Baud: I expected he was waiting for the result of the special/runoffs in GA to determine whether he could get his first choice through. I’m all for Jones who had a good chance being a Senator once and all — but I bet Sally Yates (who I love) has risen in the betting markets.

@Luciamia: Even McConnell said Republicans inability/unwillingness to pass a Covid relief bill was killing Loeffler and Perdue.
I’m enjoying how none of the explanations for their (presumed) losses include the fact they are ghouls who profited richly off of their insider knowledge about the coming horror of COVID. I guess that just makes them good Republicans?

@Elizabelle: I stayed up until Wasserman called the race for Ossoff. Since I live in the burbs, I was disappointed that neither candidate spent time trying to win over the Biden/Perdue voters. haha Fortunately I was not campaign manager, because those constituents weren’t the important votes. Gotta believe in Abrams.

@dmsilev: I have been seeing a lot of Wonder Woman FB profile pics with Sidney Powell’s head. OK, here I go again… In local small town newspapers comment sections. Real peopl, not trolls. Her new super power is not Kraken releasing… It’s “Operation Kill Shot” something, something, and VP Pence today. Everyone must know she is a “licensed military tribunal atty.”

And yet, McConnell is the specific person who prevented that bill – those bills – from happening.

@Quinerly: Isn’t it good to know that in ten centuries or so, when archaeologists are trying to figure out how the cult pantheon (Troompa the Eternal King, Pwell the Warrior Goddess, Ghoulianee the Undead, etc.) developed, the whole thing will be documented?

@Frankensteinbeck: Probably? Or maybe he just couldn’t bring his Senate caucus all the way to where House Democrats were?

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: Yeah. I actually like Bernie, but that statement is insane.

@Just Some Fuckhead:
He could bring three of them to a negotiated middle that actually gave Americans real relief, and Trump loved signing checks. McConnell, personally, sank Covid relief this whole year. Standing back and letting the Trump administration be unable to negotiate was just his way of shifting blame when the let the ship sink.

Let me second this. I had to sit this 20-21 election cycle out, just because of a combination of finances and extreme burnout/exhaustion, so I’m so grateful that this time round, so many other people picked up the torch and ran with it. Thank you thank you thank you.

@germy: No, you’re going sane again.
I have suddenly become able to write something other than newspaper stories again. I have suddenly been able to plan some theater work. I am suddenly able to sleep at night without gerbil brain.

@OzarkHillbilly: Nevertheless, They PERSISTED!
Funny how the Repubs are always surprised when their totally blatant racism and corruption are overcome by determined people who could SEE what they had been doing and worked hard to overcome their behavior. Do they really not think they are as transparent as glass, and that smarter, more determined people can thwart their BS?
