It’s election day in Georgia as both Senate seats are up for grabs. At the time the podcast it’s a dead-heat in both races at or around 50/50. It’s quite possible that the winners may be declared at some point on Wednesday. However, if the race is too close to call, then the overseas ballots may be the deciding factor. There are about 17,000 overseas votes that have a deadline for this Friday. So, if these votes would make a difference to the outcome, then it may not be until the weekend or next Monday, when one or both of these races are called.
As it stands now, the Republicans have 50 seats and the Democrats 48 seats, including two Independent Senators who caucus with the Democratic party. Should the Democrats win both seats in Georgia, then this would give the majority to the Democrats because the incoming Vice President, Kamala Harris, serves as the President of the Senate, and would thus be the tie-breaking vote. Such a scenario would also give the Democrats control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. A similar scenario as we witnessed following the 2016 elections, but for the Republicans.
The question that remains, is does it really make a difference as to who controls the Senate? It may mean things move more quickly or slowly depending on who holds the majority – but if the destination is over the cliff, does it really make that much of a difference if it’s quick or a little slower? When and where have any of these politicians took a real stand against something and stopped one terribly flawed bill after the next? When and where did anyone stand up against the out of control deficits and national debt? Same for monetary policy. Same for our defense budget. Same for our welfare state for both corporate and low income transfer payments. Same for our national security and surveillance state, et cetera, et cetera. So lip service will be given to those ideas and principles that so many believe in; yet nothing structural will be done about it. Our advice is to leave these two-parties and to stop voting for them – they have not done anything to deserve your vote.
