PredictIt has Loeffler winning at -200, and Perdue willing at even longer odds for the Democrat.
I know the left's wet dream is to take the Senate due to both Georgia seats going D because the fanatical Trumpers revolt, but that's not happening.
You're going to have a few loud white trash idiots boycotting the GOP, but not nearly enough to flip the Senate, and you're not going to have the anti-Trump sentiment driving Dems to the polls.
Might as well just accept that you're not winning both seats, and focus on your own party's growing civil war between the sensible moderate faction and the crazy AOC/Bernie faction.
Winter (of 2022) is coming.
I expect the GOP to hold it, but the last two elections that have truly shocked me are that Abrams race being so close and Trump losing GA. It’s clearly changing very quickly. It will be a proxy war fought in a red state infrastructure, so I expect both republicans to win, but it’s going to be a shitshow down there. Abrams clearly built a serious turn out the vote operation. If you’d have told me ten years ago Ohio will be 8-10 points redder than GA, I’d have laughed and said it will take 50 years.
This race is really hard to handicap given there was some pro-GOP, vote for Biden votes, but it’s a super small percentage. The vast majority of Trump voters still just checked R all down the ballot. Not having him on the ballot as a positive or negative I couldn’t guess? Democratic apathy in all things not general election is bigger concern for them.
I mean we just had a referendum on would you choose the AOC party or the Dem party in our primaries. It was a convincing defeat, and most convincing among black voters in the south.
If everyone that voted Trump in the general was given a choice between MAGA party and GOP, I don’t know how that one breaks? To me the 2016 GOP primaries were that referendum, and it’s grown stronger.
I know this, I don’t expect him to, as I think he wants to create an empire on the right and play kingmaker, but if he wanted to outright cost them that election as a tantrum, he certainly could.
Trump's legal team cuts ties with Sidney Powell: Rudy distances campaign from attorney and QAnon supporter who couldn't back up her claims that Democrats 'bribed' voting firms and China and Hugo Chavez were behind conspiracy to help Biden win

LOL. She is more batshit crazy than Rudy Giuliani.
i think it was less a referendum on AOC than it was a flight to safe harbor, but time will tell of course. in any case i'm honestly quite confident that AOC will be a united states president, not because of her policies but because she appears to be one of the only parties on the chessboard who actually understands how to engage digitally.

I was just using her generically for full on progressive. I mean she’s the face of that, but Bernie was far more palatable to today’s voters and he still wasn’t close this time. I agree it was a bit taking the more likely w, but they’re way more MAGA than we are progressive at the moment. Progressive is a movement though, where MAGA is more personality cult that may die with him short some charismatic next loon.

oh if it was a race between bernie and her, bernie would have her covered by a large margin today.
but outside the team retard echo chambers, AOC is basically the face of hope. her tiktok army eclipses bernies by a factor of 100..? 1000....? and her criticisms about the democratic short comings in 2020 were like diamond bullets into the heart of leftist mediocrity.
by the time shes 35, she will likely have smoothed out the rough/radical edges. like remember when we were all salivating about warren debating trump? AOC = a brighter, younger, prettier warren with claws.
greasy incels can get as mad as they want, the truth is that for people who are making the effort to listen, AOC is preaching some fire ass gospel and racking up a hell of a base.

As you said, she’s going to have to smooth out her edges. She may have a time, but as long as the median voting age stays roughy 50/51, it’s going to be awhile. I think of how she plays here, and she’s politically clumsy and is a detriment to be associated with in old white states. In some world where Texas and the southwest flip hard, younger states, that could accelerate her shot, but you’re going to have to not need a MI and WI anymore.
