Get out the vote in Georgia folks. Two senate seats up in a runoff election. Election set for Jan. 6th. Volunteer or donate to Jon Ossoff and Rev. R. Warnock to get these two gentlemen elected and give Joe the majority in the Senate!

Biden is currently (as of this writing) declaring and promoting himself the winner of the 2020 presidential election and he's building his presidential transition team, despite not being independently certified as winning the election to earn the official title of "President Elect"

During the first 2020 presidential debate Chris Wallace asked Biden "Will you urge your supporters to stay calm while the vote is counted, and will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently certified?"

Biden's answer: "Yes, and here's the deal. We count the ballots as you pointed out. Some of these ballots in some states cannot be even be opened until election day, and if there's thousands of ballots gonna take time to do it."

If you voted for Biden then what are your thoughts of Biden's answer to Wallace compared to what Biden is currently doing as the media-declared "President Elect" ?
