The OTHER major reason that Senator Warnock must win!

“If Warnock wins, Senate committees will no longer be evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats will gain majorities on them, with the result that Biden’s nominees and Democrats’ bills won’t be deadlocked in committee, requiring time-consuming floor votes to resolve.” - Robert Reich

Donate, please, to Sen. Warnock. Over and over.

We can accomplish so much with Warnock's seat! Before I was more concerned about keeping the kook named Hershel out but now I see how important this seat is for Democrats.

Besides Senator Warnock seems like such a decent man. Reminds me of President Biden.

Sen. Warnock is brilliant, thoughtful and very competent. Attributes much needed in our Senate. The other guy is a fool.

That’s why he had to “go”. Only the best and the brightest… Makes me sick to my stomach.

At this point in history no individual senator, no matter how brilliant, can begin to compare in importance to "51-49."

It helps to remember that our senators include a lot of high-quality minds; they work together, and their product is a group product.

We value him for far more and bettter things than just the electability "card" amoral Repubs fear him for, of course, but as GA voters right now my husband and I are especially appreciating what makes the Repubs desperate to defeat him.

That so many elections where the Repug candidate was clearly below any reasonable standard to do the job they were being elected for could be as close as they were confounds reason. And I keep thinking only a 1/3 of Americans are ignorant and stupid. Lokking closer to half

And at least we pretty much know if they're a D they're likely to already have good basic values. For them, they have to guess. Although good values not probably high up on qualifications

it's good to have a buffer if we lose one of them on important party line votes.

Warnock's tailored suits look more professional than this loony toon

so I suppose sweatshirts might be ok. Several members have been seen in sneakers. Sinema has worn a denim jacket and t-shirt before.

I was more disturbed by her brightly colored hair.
