In Georgia, cries you won&#8217;t hear from another set of NPCs if this would result in a Republican having a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/100211424856\">fighting chance<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Originally posted by <b>babylonsister:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Voting rights advocates have won a string of victories in Georgia, and Republicans are now banned from certifying the election before Friday. Abrams needs to pick up roughly 20,000 votes to force a runoff because <b>Democrats aren&#8217;t going to give up without a fight.<\/b>  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dems are now complaining about how the demands to stop the recount in Florida would disenfranchise the thousands of absentee military votes. Wasn&#8217;t it the Democrat party that scrutinized these same votes when these votes helped the Republican? They probably don&#8217;t care about those military votes, just those votes that would give them the results that they want. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/2018\/11\/psychiatrist-believes-trump-suffers-god-complex-erotically-attached-violence-heres\/\">psychiatrist<\/a>, who hasn&#8217;t evaluated President Trump in the proper setting like his medical team has, provides an &#8220;opinion&#8221; of the President:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>Chauncey Devega of Salon:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is also a habitual liar who is at war with the truth and empirical reality. For Trump the world (and reality) must be bent to his will. His supporters love him because of all these traits and behaviors, not despite them. Their adoration for Trump is almost libidinal. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the only NPC that claims that those who support President Trump are doing so due to &#8220;Cult of Personality&#8221;&#8230; And not because we actually agree with many of his policies. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/?com=view_post&#038;forum=1002&#038;pid=11423649\">Ocasio Cortez<\/a> just might be a problem for the Democratic Party:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Originally posted by <b>redstatebluegirl:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Now she is breaking with New York leaders on the Amazon headquarters. She is itching for a fight and will make us look like morons. This is a two year win people, we did not win the Senate, we did not win the White House. She could be a lightening rod for the right, someone needs to take her aside and tell her to temper herself. Of course Bernie won&#8217;t but someone in the Democratic Party should. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She, and Bernie, represent the where the Democratic Party is rapidly heading. Given that a healthy percentage of millennials have no issues with socialism, we could expect more like them being elected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Humpday everyone, it&#8217;s the middle of the week again!
