Make sure you're registered to vote in the January 5 runoff elections! The deadline is Monday, December 7!
Both of your U.S. Senate seats are up for election. It will decide your full representation in the U.S. Senate and will decide whether or not Republicans maintain their Senate majority and continual obstruction.
Please register if you haven't, check your registration if you have, and ask 3 friends to do the same. #RegisterToVote https://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do

1. Too many people don't get the connection between SOCIAL Security, Medicare, highways, dams, airports, roads, fire departments (things that they like) and the social democracy that it takes to run those programs.
2. The republican party has turned into a cult. Hysteria is the theme and socialism is one of the dog whistle buzzwords.
Why Republicans are resorting to anti-socialism hysteria - conservatives will say anything to justify backing a racist, loony president:

Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon on what kind of #COVID19 stimulus each party wants:
Democrats (House): restaurant relief for small businesses like your corner bistro or neighborhood pizza place
Republicans (Senate): tax breaks for two-martini lunches
Republicans encourage client lunches in a pandemic?! In my city, you can only dine outdoors right now and only with your own household. Bring the relief to keep our restaurants afloat until people are vaccinated!
Carol Danvers boosted:
The vast majority of EMT and first responders come from local governments.
They are unsung heroes of this pandemic battle. They are the front line and they risk themselves and their families to serve all of us. These are workers that Mitch McConnell and other Republicans don't want to include in the next relief bill.
Call your Senators and tell them to include state and local governments in the next plan.
Pandemic is pushing America’s 911 system to ‘breaking point,’ -

It's been said before but I'm going to say it again.
Jobs like the one the man on this article lost would be much more available and his industry futher along in the state of recovery if-
1. We'd have had a President who cared about addressing a pandemic.
2. Republicans wouldn't have sat on a 2nd relief package for so long.

It's bad enough that this was announced and 900 people are invited. If you take the risk, you deserve what you get. But what about everyone who has to cook, clean, serve, drive, room them, etc...and health care workers?
Republicans don't care about workers.
Senior Democrat calls on Pompeo to cancel holiday parties, citing ‘significant health risk’:

Carol Danvers boosted:
The workers are the ones I worry about. They don't have a choice. With the Senate still stalling on any form of relief bill, they have to gamble their health. Some may even work despite being sick, for fear of losing their job.
😠 😢
Carol Danvers boosted:
Republicans failed to financially incentivize people to stay home and businesses to stay closed. Too many Republicans eschewed medical scientific evidence but showed up with masks later, after COVID caught up with them.
We will never beat this until we collectively rise to the occasion. Everyone knows what that means by now, hashtag or not.

@TonyStark It’s so sad to keep seeing these and then see people have disregard for human life like this. #WearAMask
It’s not for forever but it’s important right now.

Sometimes I hear people say that the people who predicted climate change in the past were wrong because we don't see it but that is really wrong.
They were right and we are seeing it right now. Climate change is happening and it will affect every aspect of our lives. We need to act in order to deal with it. Some are. More need to. #ClimateChange

I will not miss these destructive, ludicrous, dangerous appointments one bit. All they are doing is trying to trash the country the rest of the way as they are pushed out the door and set up the Biden/Harris administration for failure.

I really don't understand why there isn't more outrage about this race.
It's legal, but certainly fraudulent and once again shows you which party is out stealing elections. #MiamiDade #RepublicanElectionFraud
Sources say former Miami state Sen. Frank Artiles boasted that he planted a no-party candidate in the Miami-Dade Senate race, which Garcia won after a three-day recount by just 32 votes out of more than 215,000 cast: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/article247567095.html
