13 days left until the Georgia US Senate runoffs (#4344)

      22% of eligible Georgia voters have already cast ballots with 13 days left until the actual election day. That is a good sign but not the best it could be so hopefully we will see a larger turnout by the end of the week despite christmas happenings. Like I keep saying, there is nothing more important in our nation right now than those two runoff elections. I can only sound the alarm about voters voting in Georgia as I cannot vote not being a Georgian. So it is all up to those in Georgia who want to have a better outcome to their lives and by extension, ours. 13 days is not a lot of time to get the vote in but it is a enough for all of us who want a better senate to get our votes in.
     We who are advocating for a better senate must make the case that with republicans blocking most everything in the senate over the next two years is a hellish vision for our future. We must also make the case that with democrats leading the senate the vision for our future is much more rosy with help for the working middle poor class being advanced. Most all of us are in the working middle poor class so this should resonate with those in Georgia as a value for them to vote accordingly. There is no tome for voting along traditional lines. The voting has to be done according to policies that either help or hurt. We who want a change in the senate must make sure that the Georgia voters clearly understand this.
     Now with trump demanding that a $2,000 stimulus be given to all eligible citizens the pressure will soon be on mcconnell to either advance the House attempt to add it to the Covid-19 bill or to negate it as an option. To add it to the House attempt would make it possible through the Covid-19 bill. To negate it should make all Georgians who would then be denied that $2,000 a bit angrier at what the republican leadership in the senate has done for them thus making the idea of a change in the senate leadership much more palatable. We are in fast changing times right now so we democrats and like minded independents need to be able to tailor our message to fit the changing narratives.
