Poor white voters in Georgia ought to realize that with Mitch in power they get nothing.

Their best hope is to help the Senate turn blue. They have 8 years of proof. All of Obama's years in office and all of Trump's time in office. The Senate worked hard to get tax cuts for their buddies and threw a few dollars at them but are unwilling to do much more for them.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

and it seems most will vote against their own self interest in order to ....Stop Killing Babies, or the Gay Agenda, or Socialism, or Guns or libruls. it is simply amazing how much many voters will overlook to make sure their pet issue is addressed. Notice I didn't say solved !, just rallied around seems to be good enough.

how do we make voters see the big picture???
