Bonnie Perdue, the senator’s wife, says he “couldn’t make it” today — which was expected but folks here expect to see a lot more of Loeffler in person than of Perdue
Rubio jokes that Georgia is “stealing Florida’s job” by having a close election that decides the fate of America
Rubio’s remarks at this rally are largely about PPP and the CARES Act, and the threat of Ossoff/Warnock “voting the party line.” (Nothing, in other words, about whether the election was fair, which Perdue and Loeffler focused on this week.)
Rubio talking about Fidel Castro’s visit to a church Warnock worked at, and warns that the left drives the Democrats: “All the energy in that party, all the money in that party, all the people who get on the covers of magazines in that party.”
Rubin says of liberals “they’re even inviting people to move here so they can vote,” which is the first time I’ve seen a GOP candidate go negative on @imillhiser

Ossoff speaking at Atlanta car rally while some hecklers yell “Jon loves China!” and get escorted out
“Y’all know that Sen. Perdue lives behind three gates on a private island?”
After some momentum/Perdue-whacking applause lines, the Ossoffgenda: “Affordable housing, affordable health care, dignified work that pays a living wage, equal justice under the law, where every family breathes clean air and drinks clean water.”
A problem for Democrats is that they *do* introduce plans then people never hear about them.
Is it about pizzazz? Biden introduced his Lift Every Voice plan ages ago and ran ads on it, but Trump got famous rappers to endorse his last minute plan.
This is why the simple case for “Medicare for All” that makes sense to me is — it’s easy to explain! Even if people hate your plan they know you have one.
That said, what makes the Dem infighting about messaging so absurd is that 1) the centrists are really, really bad at coming up with sticky messages, and 2) the left, seeing how bad the centrists are, keeps kicking own goals like the Green New Deal FAQ or "defund police."
The internal Dem arguments about which way to move are fascinating bc, after 2016, the apparent fluke nature of their loss prevented them from their usual response to defeat — apologetically moving right. washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
This is why I put my “ACTUALLY” hat on when people say they ran a centrist nominee. Sure, one who had been moved left by activists who dominated the party’s conversation. Biden 2020 ran to the left of Clinton 2016, who ran to the left of Obama 2008, and so on.
Trump won w/o the popular vote in 2016, and there was a widespread idea that Sanders, with his appeal to “blow up the system” voters, would have beaten them. Ironically, it’s after winning the presidency and getting ~51% of popular vote that the Ds will worry about moving left.
The election day dead zone question: Try to pass out for an hour or so, or try to beat Orphan of Kos?
(This account will mostly be about gaming and annoying music after Wednesday.)
I got OoK down to like 10% health on my last try and stupidly got caught in one of those steamroller attacks he does. May save that SOB for after the election.
Final tasks I want to complete before beating game: Beat that guy and find the Beast Claw. I went in expecting to get frustrated and quit but I am a total From Software simp now.
So the exact same slogan, complete with hammer and sickle, appears on a GOP candidate's garage, then a day later on the Houston Democrats' office? Getting serious "BLACKS RULE" vibes here.
Folks in the comments ask if it's Red Guards, a "revolutionary" group that's trying to overthrow the government by being obnoxious and doing crimes. statesman.com/news/20200113/…
