I want to say thank you to all Republicans.

I want to thank you for running a brain dead candidate. A spousal abuser that threatened his wife and many girlfriends by holding a gun to their heads, punching them and verbally abusing them. He has paid for multiple abortions and has a hard time keeping track of all the children he has. All the while he and you are spouting Christian values and proclaiming that you will support a nationwide ban on ALL abortions, even at the risk of the mother.

Thank you to Graham and Cotton et all for supporting him. You and the voters have shown the world who you really are. You are not Christian and in fact not even normal breathing human beings. You have shown us you will sacrifice our country for power and money. Walker was never more than a toy to the GOP, one that could be easily manipulated. A puppet and they would pull his strings.

When they tell you and show you over and over again who they really are, you should believe them.

We won. Yes, however the margin was slim and that is a telling insight.

We need to vote by the thousands, hundreds of thousands in every election. Our future is at stake. VOTE.

These were the midterms when voting was always known to be lacking. We showed up in droves. The GOP was giddy and said it would be a red wave. We proved them wrong with our vote.

Then we have Georgia and the runoff and Georgia picked themselves up and voted again. Bless their hearts they voted as the rest of us stood for them.

Bravo Senator Warnock!

Had a mere 5% (or less, .5% in Colorado's 3rd) more would have taken the time to vote, we would still have control of the House.

Repubs wrote the manual for ratfuckery this time. Greg Palast was on Thom Hartmann today and explained all that had been done from repubs desperation to try and win these midterms. It had some success. The mention of voter suppression in Rev. Warnock's victory speech speaks volumes.

The GOP voted for Walker because not only are they intent of "owning the libs," but they are intent on owning black Georgians. They can attack two factions with one vote. They did, but their coalitions weren't large enough to overcome common sense.

the thin margin for Sen. Warnock and in many other races. A ton of credit in GA goes to Stacey Abrams who registered thousands of new voters and showed us all how to organize to GOTV.

was how he did more campaigning in the red counties and with that plus a turnout push elsewhere, he was actually able to increase his percentages in those red counties and hold or exceed it in the blue ones. And for the blue counties, I saw (GA-5) U.S. House Rep. and GA Democratic Party Chair Nikema Williams on MSNBC last night and there was some mention of doing GOTV outreach to the Hispanic and Asian communities (and that included ads done in languages like Vietnamese and Cambodian to broaden the coalition of voters).
