Looks like Warnock is going to win.

Does Walker concede? Claim voter fraud?

Think it’ll be too big of a margin to have any of that.

I think Republicans are tired of Trump. They’re not fighting as hard as they used to. They’ve gone too far right for the general public and moderates.

They’re a train wreck. I was a Republican until about 6-7 years ago. They’ve gotten so off the track it hurt them in midterms.

I agree they're a train wreck. Partly why I would not be surprised if Walker starts calling voter fraud.

So the purple states now are Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada. That's probably it now.

If that holds up in a couple years the Democrats are going to lose the Senate. Have seats in OH, WV, AZ, MT, MI, WI that are currently in Dem hands that will be up. The Republicans that are up are all in red states.

Warnock, "Put your shoes on..."

Georgia is still a red state - at least in 2022. If it wasn’t for a deeply flawed Senate candidate it would have been a comfortable red sweep.

Other than that I agree with your assessment.

Except they went blue for their last POTUS election and their last three senate elections. The only statewide vote that's been red is Governor.

Which seems somewhat reasonable. More conservative state government and more liberal national government.

Which is more often than not how I vote

Kind of how I lean too Mjl. I'm pretty damn in the middle. I can't tie myself to something or some side and just stick by it regardless.

As Ted Lasso says during one of my favorite scenes of the show. "Be curious, not judgmental" America would be much better off if we lived by that motto.

To be curious is to admit that you don't know some things. Unfortunately that is a skill many do not have. Combine that with some people's desire to define their self worth by judging others as below them and you have a recipe for a fundamentally dysfunctional society.

I saw an excerpt of a short statement he made. Although he didn’t explicitly concede his statement was conciliatory. Didn’t congratulate his opponent. Just said that his supporters should believe in the Constitution and support elected officials or something to that effect. Clearly he didn’t write it, because it was actually a coherent sentence and not batsh!t crazy. At least he’s listening to some adult supervision. We are to a point in our political history where not scorching the earth is considered commendable!

society is just fine. it's the interwebz and the social medias that is dysfunctional.

luckily, almost no one conducts themselves in their real life like they do on the social medias.

How does Kari Lake conduct herself in real life?

I’ll see your Kari Lake and raise you Donald Trump…….and Elon Musk………..and whatever name the former Kanye West goes by these days.

BTW, we should teach our childrens to be careful about the social medias

Sorry, but the web and social media are now part of inextricably woven into our society. If society was just fine, we wouldn't have a giant subsection of our nation getting dupes by conmen convincing them that people are eating babies and that JFK Jr. is going to rise from the dead to join Trump on the GOP ticket. There wouldn't be millions of people supporting secession from the Union for certain states.

And the news is full of people who choose to carry their social media digital personas over into their real life. Jan. 6th would be the prime example of people so entwined in their social media life that it forever ruined their real life.

I can say with confidence that my in person persona is pretty spot on to the asshole that I am online

Republicans are technically going to have a plurality in the Senate - Sinema announced she's switching to Independent. So official count is
R - 49
D - 48
I - 3

I can confirm that you are a dick, and that makes you compatible with my off-internet friends group.
