After all the uproar, Warnock will win. But there's no happy ending to this story. One of the united states has almost elected a dishonest idiot pawn to the Senate and celebrated it.

@Graylight I agree to the extent that I wish I could believe any of the mid term results will make any real different to the outcomes for Amerieca and its people..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman They could. If we voted. McConnell and MTG could be gone, DeSantis could've been put down. Kemp, Abbot and the rest of the Ugly Crew could've gotten a clear message - but it's easier to sign petitions and argue online that to simply vote, evidently.

Biggest voter turnout in the last 35 years or more. 47% of eligible citizens voted. That's - by any measure - pathetic.

@Graylight Exactly.. There is a Catch 22 here. If they they have candidates (on both sides) like that why bother? And if the vote is nothing to be feared why put up your best people? Even when a reasonable candidate gets up, Murdoch attacks relentlessly. So much in the US system has to change to make it fair, gun control would be easier...😷
