which is bizarre. so many busybody female and male karens panicking in the suburbs. no matter who wins, I think these groups should have to pay for the tax rates they are endorsing in their vote. so the fearful rebellious suburbs should pay 50-60%+ effective tax rates (just federal too, state and fica are additional.)

The last time there was a runoff in a Georgia senate election, the margin went from R+3 in the regular election to R+14.8 in the runoff:

Sure, you can argue that Obama being on the ballot supercharged the black vote in the general election, and that this effect was missing in the runoff - but then again, the same can be said about Trump. When he is no longer on the ballot in a potential runoff, there simply is less reason for the suburbs to be in all-out rebellion.

States which can be called early include Florida, North Carolina and Georgia.

The modal outcome for election night is that Florida can be called for Biden based on a ~2% margin or so, which would more or less spell doom for Trump and leave him with something like a 1% chance to win. (Conditional on losing Florida, he'd be a heavy underdog in NC, AZ and GA - but he'd need to hold all of them plus sweep all of WI/MI/PA.)

correct, so there should be no issue with people who want significantly higher tax rates paying the higher amounts in their income taxes

they can do it now even, there’s a line on the W4 where you can pay additional amounts of tax, it’s pretty simple to do. law doesn’t have to change for them to pay the tax rate they are voting for

after 3 years without filing for a return for any “overpayment” in withholding the IRS keeps it permanently

i guess you dont understand how marginal tax rates work.

Neither GOP candidate has won a statewide election though...that's kind of important b/c you lose the incumbency advantage. I'm not saying you're wrong, your prediction is within the realm of reasonable possibilities.

I agree with you that Loeffler is insufferable, but Osoff isnt much better. The guy is just 33 years old and already a swamp demon.
Anyway, candidate skills or incumbency matter less than turnout in such an oddly timed runoff - and historical evidence suggests that turnout drops off harder on the D side.

you definitely don’t understand taxes at all, and that people can pay the higher tax rates they are voting for without the laws being changed

try harder next time rando lmfao, pathetic..
