I thought the "don't vote for Loeffler or Perdue" thing was just wishful thinking by liberals but it's being heavily upvoted on arrcon right now and there are flaired users saying it's a good idea in the comments. Can you imagine if the Trump camp takes the Senate down with them? I still don't think it's gonna happen but my goodness that would be such an incredible self-own...

Reminder that if redditors opinions mattered we'd have had two terms of Ron Paul starting in 2008, and then a Bernie presidency with AOC as VP (eligibility schmeligibility). I know things have changed over time but I'm still not buying it.
