I'm having your drink and that of my wife, too.

It may be painful but it is always worth it.

Talking to people, knocking on doors and getting out the vote so people can participate in their democracy is always worth it. Spending millions of dollars in tv and social media hateful ads is never worth it to me, necessary but not worth it.

I know the incumbency bump is a thing that favors Perdue but it just confuses me in this race in which I feel like the stakes are at a point where it is essentially do you want Ds or Rs? And yet it is split for some folks. Just strange to me but voters are never rational.

Tbh I have a visceral dislike of Loeffler that I don‘t feel towards Perdue, she just seems utterly fake. Perhaps enough people have the same that makes a difference on the margin?

If Dems win both seats will be awfully tempting to break out some bubbly!

A lot of independents might hate trump but hate the idea of one party controlling 2 branches of government. Split vote.

I think it plays in. I dislike Loeffler more but that's mostly because she seems to get more press. I imagine if I were voting I'd hate them closer to equal.

Trump's tiny little brain is going to explode when the DeKalb County votes come in. "But we were ahead, it's impossible"
