Tue, Nov. 5, 2024 - Bill's right: economically, we ARE great; down-ballot GA WIN(s)? There's hope.

I've strayed from routinely watching "Real Time with Bill Maher," for a couple reasons: one, I just can't keep paying for all these streaming services (the show now re-airs on CNN, though) and he's too tone-deaf on trans issues for my taste. That said, on the economy, he was spitting facts on his ⁠last "new rule" prior to Election Day. The gist? The economy doesn't need saving; it's been saved⁠. MAGA's have an alternate reality fog they won't see through and (I agree here) Democrats have been timid to tout this. Closer to home, more than ⁠3000 Cobb County absentee voters' ballots are imperiled⁠ by the ⁠Georgia Supreme Court's latest ruling. ⁠Will their votes count? Depends on when they're handed to Cobb Elections officials - who admit the mistake is on them & not the voters. C'mon, already . On to discuss that and her organization's more than 75 endorsed candidates up and down the ballot is ⁠Georgia WIN List ⁠executive director Melita Easters. Also on to respond to the litany of anti-trans messaging from the Trump campaign and to tout his organization's efforts to support pro-LGBTQIA+ candidates is ⁠Georgia Equality⁠ executive director Jeff Graham.
