The #NeverTrump case for voting for Ossoff should be quite easy to realize, and I hope people won’t be off-put due to not wanting to seem like a “RINO” or a Jen Rubin type. So here’s the rundown:

1). A 50-50 Democratic senate drastically hurts Trump’s possible 2024 bid.
Think of it this way, one of Trump’s main lines of attack against Biden (and Hillary) was that he had “done nothing” in his decades of public service. Rest assured, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would ensure that critique would actually become true of his presidency.
And would make it relatively easy for Trump to return in 2024 and campaign based off that inability to get anything done.
Now, you might generally prefer gridlock (as I do). And you might be opposed to the left’s agenda (as I often am), but consider the political ramifications.
Another 4 years of a deadlocked Washington will just promote more populist ferver (which will also benefit the far-left), and make the political atmosphere much more resemblant of 2016.
Also, a 50-50 senate that includes the likes of Manchin and Sinema kills the far left’s agenda
2) Perdue and Loeffler have actively fomented conspiracies about the election, undermining our democratic legitimacy in order to appease Trump.

This kind of behavior likely won’t work, but that does not mean lasting damage won’t result (see Ben Sasse’s excellent thread on this)
