Georgia, South Carolina, Montana, Kansas. All red as red as red Trump hell holes. But more importantly IMO, the Democratic party just doesn’t get it. Middle of the road candidates like Ossoff (as much as I do like him), aren’t going to cut it. They need true anti-corporate progressives a la Sanders to ignite voters.

You are talking about one of the states that convinced their population to go to war and die for the rights of a tiny fraction of a percent to own other people - all of which depressed wages of everyone else.

Republicans every where are the same say. They don’t understand the concept of empathy until that specific issue touches their lives. Excuse the blunt example but I live in a very rural area of Wisconsin and you can ask 80 year old grandpas how they would feel if their grandsons were gay and they’d say fine, let them

oh and also most of our polling places are in churches which has, in studies, been proven to make people vote more conservatively. don’t underestimate the stupid little things. we have them all.

georgia voter (not in the 6th though so don’t blame me) here: ossoff’s ads were all about issues and policy. handel’s ads were all about how ossoff is a liberal (basically, appeals to tribal politics). dems need a more compelling storyline because the word liberal is still a dirty word down here. issues and policy are

Voter suppression? First of all, the district is 70+ percent white. Second, hey guess what? You know why Black turnout is down? Because low-SES Blacks aren’t as interested in taking time off of work, losing money, and finding transportation to vote for a generic White Democrat as they are in voting for Barack Obama.

She is replacing Tom Price. The seat once belonged to Newt Gingrich. So, “thinking” is not really relevant here.

That besides Atlanta, Georgia is a bigoted and anti progress State. Why is the film/TV industry there, they don’t deserve it.

Cool, were you in Ohio in 2004 when voting machines weren’t registering votes for Kerry? Were you there in 2008 when the election board was kicking students from historically black universities off voter roles for misplaced apostrophes in their names? Or what about when a local town engineer in Greene County put up

I’m going to go out on the limb here and say that these voters were thinking, “I’m a Republican. I think I’m going to vote for a Republican.”

People who need a living wage can’t afford the time off to vote.

SOMEONE PLEAAAASSEEEEEE REPORT ON FALLIBILITY ELECTRONIC VOTING. So Ossoff was up +7 a week ago and we’re just going to go straight to infighting about Bernie and Hillary. Productive.

None. At no point will he fault the driver. It’s all Tesla’s fault for how people use Tesla’s technology (to some people, and those people are the reason this neat tech will be tied up in bureaucratic hell for decades).
Wonder when gun companies will be faulted for people misusing their technology.

The only reason those other 16 lanes exist are for the few hours on Black Friday to release the build-up to avoid as much violence as possible. Otherwise, they collect dust.

“Do you have your frequent shopper card?”, “Was Reagan your favorite actor growing up?” “Do you get easily flustered when asked to find the 4 digit code on your banana’s?” (hint, 4011). Everything you bought is bananas. 4011 is the only code you need.

There should be some kind of pre-test before people are allowed to use the self-scan lanes. A mix of standardized test questions (“If you are instructed never to lean on the scale, when should you lean on the scale?”) and driver’s license road testing (placing objects in a bag, being timed on how long people can

I have no patience for incompetent people in general, let alone at the self checkout line. I just want to print out my own signs that tell people at the quick lanes that the bag area has a scale and you need to put your d@mn stuff on it ever time and dont move your D@mn bags until you are done. If you have too much

Don’t go to Walmart then....20 something lines and only 4 open. Self service registers suck to say the least...

I still have a rage attack at least once a month at the self check out at CVS.

I think it means I’ll get a monthly grocery bill via Subscribe and Save or Fresh; kinda the way it used to be when Nels Oleson would hand you a piece of paper with the summary of your account out of the big book on it at the end of every month.
