The fact that she directly stated in a debate that she didn't support a livable wage and still has a significant support base shows that many American voters are not only stupid but downright mean-spirited. They'll even vote against their best interests if it means they can somehow stick it to poor people.

I'm happy someone said this. Many people really do vote the way they do just to **** over the poor. They vote the way they do because they feel poor people are undeserving of a decent wage.

I am not seeing that on RCP. I'm seeing that the most recent poll shows Karen up by 2+, but that every other poll as far back as I cared to dig showed Jon up. 

RCP Average 6/7 - 6/18---- 49.0 48.8 Handel +0.2

None of the parties care about your interests. If you see what senators and congressmen do all day, call special interests for money hours a day, you would understand how corrupt the system is.

The only Senators I have faith in is Warren, Franken, and Tusli.

Karen Handel leads by 2.8 percentage points over Jon Ossoff with less than 1 percent of precincts reporting.

My cousin tracks the betting market a lot and says this isn't a good reflection on the race. He called the people changing their positions based on info we have now "reactionary and stupid"

I have not heard of him. Will look him up.

He is a senator which is a good sign already.

If you are a congressmen, you are more likely to be corrupt because you are required to call special interests for at least 4 hours, thousands of dollars a day, to pay for elections every 2 years and party dues

Wow, I didn't realize congress had gotten that bad. 

And tell me what you think of him, he's my personal favorite to run in 2020.

It has gotten really really bad and corrupt. Very upsetting and prevents good people from running who have actual ideas in fear they will become telemarketers. I heard a member of congress sold Taylor Swift tickets as a fundraiser

I will look into him. I highly suggest you read Elizabeth Warren's new book "This Fight Is Our Fight". It convinced me to support her in 2020 if she runs, I also really like Franken and I think Tulsi Gabbard also has potential because she is young, a veteran, progressive, and some Republicans like her shockingly

Ossoff is winning!!
