    He's where he belongs. It's not fair to blame the victim (Daniels), which is what Ngo is more or less doing.

    Idk, he was a media force of nature within left leaning MSM circa 2018. You couldn’t watch anything on TV or log into one of your social media accounts without his smarmy, diabolical looking self staring right back at you. I don’t think it’s insulting to “libs” or revisionist to say he was a faux Dem grifting celebrity at his peak who garnered an army of sycophants.

    Warnock is going to easily win tonight and should. He is terrible but Walker is not mentally fit to be a senator. Imo

    Warnock is great if you lean left but are not very liberal. Walker is bad if you lean left and worse if you lean the other way. Truly incredible that he is a candidate for Senate. This is bama's fault for electing Ears.

    Politics aside, Georgians choosing between two black Americans for a Senate seat is a pretty cool moment given the history of that state in particular. The whole reason Georgia has the automatic runoff built into their election laws requiring a candidate to secure over 50% on election night was originally implemented by Jim Crow era politicians paranoid about the idea of a black candidate ever winning.

    And Bill Bates fault for allowing himself to get run over by that behemoth, thus
    helping spark the folk hero aura within that state surrounding Herschel Walker.

    Warnock and dems in general continue to improve with the white college educated demographic but do worse with the hispanic demographic. Losing ground with the hispanic demographic will eventually become the political story in these tight elections.

    The Latino demographic swing is something worth monitoring. But as long as Black America keeps voting 90-10 Dem, it's going to be tough for Reps in national elections to overcome these 4 0r 5 urban counties in swing states that are key to deciding the overall outcomes of these races, especially in the new era of mass mail in voting. They need candidates who can attract even just 20/25% of the black vote while simultaneously figuring out how to successfully operate in this new election environment.

    Refraining from running the least qualified person in an entire state for high office like Herschel Walker would be helpful too.

    I appreciate Herschel for a proper concession.

    Imo Herschel was always a likeable guy pre-political career before we learned about all the bad things he has done. Seemed like a highly pleasant, personable and productive member of society. Of course opening up yourself to having your dirty laundry aired for all to behold is the nature of politics. He should have known what he was stepping into. Regardless he had no business being an actual US Senator.

    Hopefully he finds fulfillment moving forward. And I also desire for Herschel and his family to somehow find peace and reconciliation with one another. Never ideal when family drama like that plays out on a national stage.

    The difficulty in looking at the Latino vote is it is very different depending on which Latino group being discussed and where. South Florida has been a massive upswing for the GOP as they've done a huge amount of work in Spanish media selling Cuban and Venezuelan refugees on the idea the Democrats are authoritarian commies like the ones they left behind. It's a different story in California and New Mexico, for example.

    On the other hand, the African-American vote is pretty monolithic and steady wherever you go. Some inroads in black men, but not much, and black women continue to be the backbone of the Democrats in most cities.

    The real unsung political battle is happening in the suburbs, particularly women. Trump was incredibly off putting to this group, but they also tend to vote GOP when there's safety concerns. So, there's a little fluidity in the outskirts of a number of key cities. This ain't the 80's. In reality, Biden didn't win in 2020 in the cities; he won in the suburbs.

    “We” is everyone not in “the big club” as George Carlin said. If we don’t unite and demand dignity and sustainability we will all face a hellish dystopia within 40 years, conservatively speaking.

    Eventually it will take more and more energy to retrieve fossil fuels to the point that the whole house of cards we’ve scaffolded our fragile modern lives around will collapse in spectacular fashion. Wars over water will decimate whole countries. The population will drop from 8 billion to millions because modern civilization was constructed upon nothing but the short term high of petroleum.
