i have grown my hair really long since covid began, but i’m still an apparatdude

Are you one of these dudes?
What is a apparat? / ˌæp əˈræt, ˌɑ pəˈrɑt / PHONETIC RESPELLING. College Level. noun. an organization or existing power structure, especially a political one: a position of leadership within the party apparat; The chess apparat is not eager to change tournament rules.

Or a follower of this dude?

Sascha Ring, better known by the stage name Apparat, is a German electronic musician. He was previously co-owner of Shitkatapult records.

I would never learn this stuff except for TideFans! Is that a good thing?

Polls in Georgia

A little hard to read for me today, but only polls 50+ since AARP poll, or i assume that is the reason.

Probably. Just the latest poll to come out on RCP. Just passing it along.

I don't have any problem with it.

Actually, interesting Kemp only leads 50-45 (if I read it correctly) in the 50+ likely voter group.

georgia's "heartbeat" bill went into effect yesterday. i think that, along with everything else going on may have an impact on the georgia elections.

This new ad from @ReverendWarnock against Herschel Walker is exactly the fight Democrats need to bring.

Warnock should NEVER speak again in one of his ads. Just let Herschel do it for him

sort of blue, sort of not

Republicans have decided their best chance to win is to cheat for real - something they accuse others of doing without evidence to give themselves cover.

it seems to be an effective message for their supporters and their totally not supporters

They do have what so far have been effective winning messages. Too bad most involve enabling election fraud, protecting child molesters but refusing to protect troops exposed to toxic chemical burn pits, taking away not only the choice to end a pregnancy even when medically necessary but also the choice the prevent pregnancy, taking away the right for LGBTQ to explain who they are and who their spouse is and who their parents are in certain places, taking away life saving medical care from certain people, and other various forms of hate and oppression and destruction of autonomy.

I don't know yet what to makes of a society where those are winning messages. I guess the next few election will reveal what kind of society we are going to be going forward.

I just wish I lived in a state where one side could tilt the balance via semi-legal shenanigans. Are Ivey and Britt even bothering to campaign this fall?

The cancellation of Music Midtown will cost Georgia’s economy $50 million. It's shameful, but not surprising, that the governor cares more about protecting dangerous people carrying guns in public than saving jobs and keeping business in Georgia.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

This is how little I care about music midtown, I had no idea it was still around to even get cancelled.

Let's face it:

If he had his druthers, Kemp would burn Atlanta to the ground so fast it would bring General Sherman to tears.

It's not that he doesn't care.

He cares - just not in the way a normal person would or should.
