Celebs Congratulate Senators-Elect Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock

[bluestoplights]

2021 is looking up (knock on wood, toss salt over your shoulder, etc.) -- outlets are now projecting that Georgia Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock have defeated Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue! This marks not only an incredible victory in a red state dismissed for decades, and a repeat of the surprise upset President-elect

This is so big. Now we're limited by what the most conservative members of the Dem caucus will agree to.

lol.

But for real, while we won't get the big progressive legislation done, this is still HUGE. We can get the $2K stimulus checks. We can strengthen the ACA. We can take legislative action on climate change. We can get rid of the Trump tax cuts.

All of that would have been impossible with Mitch running the show.

Totally agreed. This is such a wonderful opportunity to organize, target, and have people get to know the more conservative part of the democratic party-- and then oust them if they won't play ball!

[zoaster_toaster]

Agreed! We still need to keep the pressure on the Dems to get more progressive but this is a huge step regardless at the short run minimum.

Just as importantly: all the justice seats. No more whiny rapists and backward ass evangelists plz k thx. Not to mention all the vacant or incompetent appointee positions in the executive branch agencies.

But also let's not forget that Stacey Abrams and the Black women that did the fucking footwork pulled this win off for Georgia and the United States. YOU BETTER KNOW THEM.

LaTasha Brown shared this last night and I almost started to cry.

This is the real win for us tonight. @cliff_notes and I have worked our entire life for this message. We created @BlackVotersMtr for this very reason.

Making people believe that their vote and their voice matters. That's how we win!

I love LaTosha, I could listen to her speak for hours -- every interview I've heard of hers has been so inspiring. it's no surprise she's been as effective as she's been with organising and getting out the vote.

My state! So happy for the Dem wins. Thank fuck Mitch's dusty ass has finally lost control.

[inkstainedlips]

Having Mitch be out of power is such a relief. Thank you Georgia!
