re: Clarke county 71.1% voting warnock at the moment

If I still voted, there is no fricking way that I could push that button for Walker. I, at least, would need the facade that he is capable of original thought, and would be something other than a sock puppet with someone else's hand controlling his words and actions as a Senator.

That said, Warnock would be a hard "no" for me as well as I know what he believes, and know that he acts accordingly.

If the Republicans lose this seat, blame them. Herschel was, and is, my idol on the football field. No one stands above him.

But, as a candidate? Are you fricking kidding me? This is what is wrong with party politics.

I don't know. Walker was hit on "values" so perhaps they didn't see him being good for the black vote.

”Values” is certainly a valid reason to not vote for someone.

But that still doesn’t explain the variances here. If values is why you didn’t vote for Walker, then it makes no sense that you would vote for both Kemp and Warnock, who have categorically opposing values.

The pro-choice person who voted against Walker isn’t going to vote for Kemp.

But, if you look at the numbers, there’s upwards of ~200k people who supposedly voted for Kemp AND Warnock (along with another ~50k who voted for the Libertarian and Kemp or Warnock), or over ~550k people who submitted partial ballots, only voting for Governor but not Senate or Senate but not Governor (which would be a ridiculously high number way beyond historical norms).

I mean anyone who doesn’t grasp that serious frickery is afoot has their head in the sand… or is a Dem being intellectually dishonest.

democrats don't think that way though and give thought to each candidate and weigh their pros and cons and vote accordingly. They see [D] and they vote for the candidate. Sometimes on their own, sometimes because someone has knocked on their door and filled out their ballot alrady for htem ahead of time. Sometimes without them even knowing. The point is, you not casting a vote on principal is the exact same as handing warnock the election.

You can't blame the republican party for losing the seat if you allow the democrats to cruise to victory. And yes, I'm fully aware how hypocritical this post is by advocating for doing the exactd same thing I accuse the other side of doing. I'm just saying that you can't say "I think [candidate from one side] is so awful and terrible he's just the worst and it would suck if he won" yet not vote for his opponent.

Keep talking about election fraud and that's why you will continue to lose. Kemp was an excellent governor in his first term. I could see a lot of democrats pulling the lever for him because he gave Georgia freedom from the Covid BS. Why do you think there are so many states that have republican governors, then vote democrat for everything else. Hell, it wasn't too long ago, Georgia always had a democrat as governor and voted for R's in the Senate and House.

I can’t help you if you’re one of the folks who believes our elites aren’t corrupt, have only our best interests at heart, and wouldn’t do everything in their power to secure their agendas.

They shut our country down, forced tens of thousands of businesses to close, leave millions of homeless, hungry, poor, mentally ill, and veterans downtrodden only to send trillions to other countries. They enter politics with little wealth and amass fortunes in no time while on meager salaries. They vote themselves allowed to insider trade. And this list could go on and on and on.

But, a bunch of you get bent when your political rival mentions “fraud” in elections.

LOL, we’re so doomed. And it ain’t me, buddy.

2. An outrageously unrealistic number of people voted for Governor but not Senate, or Senate but not Governor.

That’s it. And neither of those things is remotely plausible.

I self admit I dont know shite about this but... I think a lot of people are voting against someone compared to voting for someone. One of the saddest days of my life was when I was in high school and a friend told me Herschel was going to the USFL and skipping his senior season. I just love the guy but I voted for him because I think on the floor of congress, he would vote closely to how I would. I know Warnock rarely would vote that way. If you don't think the mudslinging campaign had people voting for Kemp and Warnock I would disagree. Add in Herschel is not going to debate well, his goofy arse kid being an arse on twitter. I hate saying, but Herschel is not a great Senate candidate. All he has going for him is his celebrity status.

Sam Nunn was extremely popular I bet there were some huge splits back then but for a different reason.

Herschel might be one of the worst candidates in political history. Almost as bad as the brain damaged slob in the hoodie up in Pennsylvania or wherever. Any other candidate besides Herschel would have mopped the floor with Warnock even with the usual cheating by the commie filth on the left

Trump screwed us on this. And I knew it would happen on Day 1. This is all on Trump. Ironically though, Trump actually helped us dodge the Stacey Abrams bullet. Trumps hatred for Kemp actually helped Kemp pull off the impressive win. There’s no doubt about it. If Trump had endorsed Kemp, it would have given the dems all the leverage they needed to drive away a lot of the people that thankfully voted for Kemp. Just like how being a Trump candidate automatically kept several demographics from ever considering to vote for Herschel

We’re fricked big time now. If republicans can’t take the house and senate back from this, the most comically incompetent political party ever to exist in world history, then they are useless retarded boobs, and only slightly less vile than their counterparts

frick Trump. frick all of them. We’re doomed.

I like how everything is so black and white in politics. It's hilarious if you think this only happens with democrats. This happens with republicans as well.

I don't want to say that the senate seat is irrelevant. But it is pretty irrelevant.

No one is sweeping change through congress without 60 senators voting.

There are committee benefits to having the senate. But that is minor.

The house is more important right now.
We will have to wait to hear how all of the districts shake out. Removing Pelosi, setting the agenda, and the ability to block Biden at every step is on that side of congress (inflation bill, build back better, etc..)
