Votes for Loeffler and Perdue are extreme.  They are both extremists who happily take the nation to the brink of collapse for some real or perceived personal gain.   They are extreme Trumpists in every way, and extreme Trumpists are much more damaging than ideologically pure extremists.  There are still some Rs that one could vote for without being considered a rube or an extremist, but none are in these runoffs.

Most Georgia voters said that deciding which party controls the Senate was the “single most important factor” in casting their ballot, according to A.P. voter surveys.

 

This was my point - They are not voting for these people, they are voting for control of the senate.

People who want the current GOP to maintain control of the Senate are also extremists.

Which is how you end up with all grifters on the (r) ticket. If people want (r) control, they want a completely ineffective government that passes no laws and does nothing at all except act to enrich individual senators through insider dealing. Extremists.

i mean, it kinda was.

still convinced there was some sort of funny business.  no way trump picked up 12mm votes since 2016.  no fucking way.

I suspect funny business as well, but for the same reasons that Trump went 1-71 or whatever the final tally turned out, it's tough to dispute.  I know the dems weren't really looking for fraud, but all those cases went by, and no one the blue side said 'hey wait a minute, there WAS something funny going on?' Just no hard evidence.

I still don't understand after all this time if it's 50-50 with Harris the President of the Senate, and the two I's (King and Sanders) caucusing with the Democrats...what that means for committee chairmanships?  That's all that really matters in the Senate beside Majority Leader.

Power sharing agreements. Probably D committee chairs but Rs can bring legislation to the floor

Exactly.

The Rs policies are losers and their demographics are losers.

So they have tribalism and anti-democratic actions as their survival mechanisms.

I believe that's what happened last time. The Washington Post had an article a while back saying no way Schumer would agree to any kind of power sharing agreement this time around.
