All results aren’t in just yet but Warnock is projected winner over Loeffler and Ossoff looks on his way to a thin-but-insurmountable lead over Perdue.

Enthusiasm. Ground game. Rage over GOP’s suicide cult. Atlanta Metro and blue-dot cousin-counties. Anger at Moscow Mitch McConnell’s destruction of America. Stacey EFFING Abrams.

Karma is a bitch and she moonlights in Cobb County as election mobilizer.

Look you guys, Kelly of the “Insider Trading” Loefflers was historically terrible candidate. Meanwhile, David of the “Insider Trading” Perdues (no relation) was also comically bad. But credit to Ossoff & Warnock for staying above the fray, running positive campaigns and spontaneously dragging Fixed Noise when Jon got the chance.

Everyone I spoke to—pals, neighbors, strangers on the street—KNEW the stakes of this runoff. And let’s not forget the only reason why we got in the runoff in the first place is because Georgia Democratic machine KILLED IT throughout the state for Joe Biden. If Ossoff hadn’t succeeded just enough to get Perdue under the 50% threshold in November we’d instead be forced to watch Drowning Turtle Moscow Mitch finish destroying the nation.

This ain’t the end of our fight; it’s the beginning of the race to re-dignify America. And there will be NO MORE MIDTERM-ELECTION INDIFFERENCE ever again.

But for now take a victory lap, y’all. You earned that shit. 🏆

As for-profit media continues to fail us, it’s more important than ever to find reliable sources. Authentic storytelling exists—you just have to look for it. On this blog you’ll get ideas, not ideology. Sass with class. Reporting with rapport. Evidence with a touch of evil. You get the idea.

Support independent authors, writers, artists, journalists and professionals. Buy a book, leave a review, start a discussion. Show solidarity so that we can achieve greater balance and, in the end, learn more.
