re: Crybaby Republicans are the Reason Georgia is Blue and why Dems control the Senate

This was part of the Kemp scam. There was not a primary for the leofler/Warnock race. Collins would have had a whole lot better chance 1 on 1 against Loeffler but Kemp cancelled primary.
Kemp didn't cancel anything, Georgia special elections do not have primaries.
If you really need to blame anyone, blame Isakson for running in 2016 (after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's) and then retiring mid-term.

So are you happy with all the crap shoved down our throats when Kamala casts the deciding vote? I'm sure Perdue would have voted no and Loeffler probably no. Instead a no-vote turnout was a vote for Kamala's judgement.

The crap would have happened either way. The uniparty will uniparty and get done what they need to get done.
Here is how it would have worked, democrats propose 8 trillion spending bill, Republicans "compromise" at 4 trillion and say "We talked them down to half of their original proposal" and go around high fiving each other acting like it was a big win.
Either way we still would have got the 4 trillion spending bill.

I agree completely with you! I begged GA voters to get out and vote and even told people about the extra poll watchers and lawyers the GA GOP had in place for the run off.
But they decided to stay home and make a statement with a NO vote, good for you guys! Thanks for all the crap that Biden and Congress is doing right now!

It would have happened regardless.
It is crazy how many around here have no idea what the uniparty is.

I don't think so because Perdue and Kelly were party line voters. Pretty weak to be honest and would tow the party line!

There are people who still don't get it, both Loeffler and Perdue did win but just like in November it was stolen. The problem isn't people not showing up, or at least it's not the biggest problem, the problem is they didn't take steps to stop the cheating and I don't think they have yet
Unless something is done a democrat will be the next governor and those two democrats will be in the senate the rest of their lives if they want. Our elections are no longer legitimate

No, I disagree. The cheating was designed to squeak out wins, not blow out wins. Ossoff blew out Perdue. And Warnock blew out Loeffler even worse, a true slaughter. None of the hallmarks of cheating that are seen from the general were found in the runoff.
The publically available numbers of voter turnout paint a very different picture of what happened in the runoff.
1- GA automatically sent mail-in ballots to everyone who had previously requested them for the general. They didn't have to re-request, see? So all those little blue voters too afraid to leave their house still got to vote. Therefore, their runoff dropoff of turnout wasn't much.
2- Billboards in red areas telling people don't vote because they didn't back Trump [cough horseshite] and/or it's rigged anyway don't waste your time
= Republicans in Georgia gave away the senate to the democrats.
It's like when the refs screw LSU every time they play Bama, the players still play the game, the coaches still coach, and the fans still cheer. You don't just forfeit the game because you think some hanky panky is going on with the refs.

They did boost the number of poll watchers and lawyers at suspect precincts for the runoff. And since then, they put together a law that the dems are so scared of the Biden justice department is suing Georgia. So that's something.

They were McConnell voters, not party voters.
They voted how Mitch told them to vote.

Which was 99.9% aligned with Trump's agenda.

There's a big reason why Trump had his two rallies in Northwest Georgia including the night before election day.
Trump, his team and the GOP saw real hard data that GOP turnout in the rurals was not where it needed to be and thus they had to shore it up and the thought was that a rally would do the trick.
It didn't work and the bottom fell out of the floor here.
Why did this happen?
It happened because Trump went all in on mixed messaging. Telling his voters to use the same election system that he would not stop slamming as rigged and stole a victory from him.
Who knew that voters don't respond positively to mixed messaging?

And look at Doug Collins now.
Refusing to run for any office at all in 2022, even with GOPe favorites out of the picture.
What does that say about him?
Doug Collins's 2020 senate campaign was pure sour grapes that made things more difficult than it needed to be, forcing the incumbent Senator to her right flank in a state with changing demographics where its getting harder and harder for republicans to win.
