    They'll still blame McConnell and blue maga won't call them out

    Bernie Sanders and AOC. Also, very carefully they will blame Ilhan Omar, but tepidly to mask their racism

      So, if they win Georgia the Dems have a 1 vote majority, right? Does that mean that Bernie theoretically(I know he won't) would actually be able to bully Dems into pushing things through they otherwise wouldn't even think about?

    Manchin is correct, but I'm seeing that Perdue is still barely leading.

      Nerds who care about this shit say the remaining areas are heavily dem-leaning, but it would be very, very funny if Ossoff lost again

      He's not going to but part of me wants it to happen

        It would be very funny.

        EDIT: Dems turning around and saying "We can't pass anything because how are we going to get Jon Ossoff, the man who we have pushed for 4 years and just elected, to vote for it" would actually be very funny.

          If you can find a way to get Depeche Mode to agree to meet him, he'll vote for anything

              Ossoff's vote can be bought by anyone with front-row AJR concert tickets

            I think I'm somehow not online enough to get this joke.

              He has the taste in music of a guy who's failed up his entire life, because he's a guy who's failed up his entire life. Here is a real tweet from Jon Ossoff in 2013: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErBXLkLXEAArbsq?format=jpg&name=large

    If the fillibuster is removed they can pass anything. They won't remove the fillibuster and therefore won't be able to pass anything, so blame them for that

    Now the reason why they won't do anything good will be that they have to reach across the aisle to reach bipartisan compromise with republicans and heal the division in the American soul.

    Also midterms are not far away and if you want to appeal to moderate voters this is not the time for divisive politics.

    They'll still blame McConnell because Dems are cowards that won't get rid of the filibuster

    They spent the last four years defending him from progressive hit pieces lol, and liberals think the dude is a moderate. This whole election is a farce. Who the fuck care?

      The remaining votes will be very blue. Ossoff and Warnock will both win beyond the shadow of a doubt when all votes are in.

        It's funny to me that Ossoff lost a house race in what feels like the last 6 months and his consolation prize is he gets to be a senator now.
