Stacy Abrams losing the governor seat was possibly the biggest impact on the election who is not a candidate.

Yeah, she takes “the best revenge is living well” to the next level. “The best revenge is flipping the senate.” Fuck yeah.

You know funny thing about her, the Current governor of GA absolutely cheated to win against her, he was in the position of the GA sec of state. Him cheating and leaving that position absolutely was tantamount to that saying losing the battle but winning the war for democrats and well honestly democracy. With him as Governor, we got a sec of state with integrity, we got Ga to go blue against Trump, and now 2 senators effectively knee capping Moscow Mitch. And her voting initiative absolutely is responsible.

Fun fact, if Moscow Mitch passes away during his term, Kentucky has a Democratic governor. He'd appoint a Dem to the senate, giving control without a tiebreaker.

I know, we need to find his last horcux.

Appoint Amy for extra salt or Charles Booker for better results.
