Yeah, but the important thing is how big was the city he was mayor of? And what did you think of the job he did as Transportation Secretary from 2013 to 2017?

It was a small-time city--Charlotte.

Are we pretending consultant Buttigieg didn’t advocate for these exact types of “efficiency” actions?

I don't know. I have to think that if Buttigieg had advocated for firing all the workers and replacing them with temps, the Sanders campaign would have made a big deal about it, and that would have been a big topic of discussion among the Jordan Uhls of the world when Biden announced Buttigieg's nomination.

One thing about Repubs is they have balls.. Dems didn't have the balls to do this Sunday and sat Repubs members of Congress that were spewing the election fraud shit..

Now PA repubs aren't seating Dems who have won..

I think at BCBS they just fired workers and replaced them with more effort from the remaining workers. Its already come up but if people don't want to care, they won't care.

Honestly think it splits and Repubs keep control.

Warnock will win, Loeffler is probably the weakest candidate.

I also just saw Perdue increased votes on white college educated according to a CNN Exit poll. I think beating Perdue a sitting senator is a pipe dream. Hopefully it can be done.

I’m also worried about the Ga Repub who voted against Trump returning to vote Republican here.

My feelings too, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Both of these turds losing would be an incredible rebuke to Trump. I didn’t think they had a chance but looks like 50-50 at worst right now.

Maybe Linn Wood helped??

Dems are ahead of Biden’s numbers and Repubs way behind so far.

Would really love someone like AOC say "You're a fucking Republican, anyway Joe. Fuck off." once this new Congress takes their seats.

And then McConnell gets to run shit from a minority position?

Wouldn't he anyway is Joe Manchin shows his true colors?

Wow.

Mike Baker 5m ago

Rockdale County is the largest thus far to report it’s completed vote counting. The results there: Democrats are outperforming their November numbers by about 4 percentage points.

I’m cautiously optimistic that manchin will go along with things that will help his poor state. Gonna lose him on certain things but don’t antagonize just to antagonize.

Purdue just took the lead.

How do the Dems make this up?

Edit. Nevermind. Got my answer.

Perdue- Osoff is going to be close.

ACJ has Perdue up now 51% chance of winning.

Who the fuck votes Warnock- Perdue??

Purdue and Loefler seem to be particularly odious candidates, but if the Democrats win two senate seats from Georgia AT THE SAME TIME! Then it's pretty clear where the blame has to be placed.

Thanks Donald!

If it does happen, Stacey Abrams might be big enough to publicly draw Pelosi’s ire.

I mean, you had multiple nutjob Trumpers publicly saying not to vote a mere few weeks ago, if not more recently.

This is fucking bonkers behavior. You'd be puzzled if a party couldn't capitalize on that level of disarray.
