  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well, I did my part and voted against DeSantis and every other Republican in the state.

Four more years of misery!

I used to live in a Liberal state. I finally had enough; and I decided to vote with my feet.

I've joined those who share in the values that I hold dear.

I'm much happier now.

post-election-day red wave...

Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that's OK)

Some "Republican leads will dwindle, ....after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day. This phenomenon was popularized as the "red mirage" or the "blue shift" after the 2020 presidential election."

=================
However "early voting" numbers are usually in by election day and democrats tend to do better in early voting than in their election-day voting. So Republican numbers on election day will tend to reduce if not wipe out early-voting democratic candidate leads

If only it was that easy. I have to wait till my youngest is 18 before I can leave. I will not leave my two children from my failed marriage behind.

So, ten more years.

Not everyone has the money to spend the thousands of dollars necessary to re-establish oneself in another state.

Glad to see Herschel Walker taking the lead in the Georgia Senate race. He undoubtedly will need a lot of help... but that is what aids are for.

Some of us make sacrifices. Sometimes we need to take a step backwards to move two steps forward.

In hindsight I should have made this move before I got so heavily invested in my home state.

I am happy to have voted for him today.

I usually try to give candidates for the Libertarian and Constitution parties a chance; but this race was too important. I voted straight ticket.

Trump has cost the Republicans many seats in Congress (Senate and House).

Given Biden's numbers, the Republicans should have had a 2010-like victory.

The Republicans may still pull out a small majority in the Senate and in the House. DiSantis could probably easily defeat the Dems in 2024. With a Trump slate, Trump could lose the presidency, the Senate and the House.
