The fact that Repugs and the Lame Duck are letting this pandemic rage

Should be the primary talking point in GA. They stand by and do as their leader does...nothing! Mitch has already said that he won't work with Biden. We need the majority in the house so that we can contain this virus as recommended by the scientists and take the necessary stimulus as recommended by the economist and bring America back from the brink.

1. Handling Of The Pandemic Is Not A Deal Breaker For Voters

It appears more and more that a large segment of the population, simply doesn't care about the virus, or whether it's handled correctly.

Some may even have family members or friends that have succumbed to the virus, but it still won't change their favorable opinion of Drumpf or the repubs.

2. I have come to the conclusion

That people want the economy to remain open regardless of the risk.

In some cases it may be because they are not worried about the severity. But in some cases, I think they might understand the severity and want it to stay open anyway out of economic necessity. It is a sad state of affairs but working class people in the US may simply realize that they have to work even if it risks their lives.

You could try to make the argument that winning these seats will allow for Government support so they don't have to risk their lives. But that is a much more complicated argument to make. And I am not even sure it is true since turtle will still be able to muck things up even as a minority party in the Senate.
