Shame on the folks of georgia who voted for Walker.

[SCrider]

Kudos to the perceptive folks who voted for Mr. Walker.

Those voters realized that it would be detrimental to the nation to give the Dems 51 votes in the Senate (not to mention the Vice President's vote).

Thank goodness there will be a Republican House that can help restrain the Senate from going too far. Sadly, though, the Senate will be able to rubberstamp judicial appointments.

Why did the GOP just choose a better person to run then?

They are terrified of the other side because of the bullshit their leadership tells them and then they repeat it over and over to each other until it becomes real for them but sadly, it's all been a lie. For decades the gop leadership has been fire and brimstoning their base to believe the democrats are evil, that simple. Look at the latest examples, we eat babies, we drink their blood and when they are dead we sex traffic them from a pizza parlor basement and that's just for openers. We on the left are all socialists, communists, marxists and other ists the right likes to call us as if we are diseased. They have been 'taught' or if you prefer, 'groomed' to dislike or even hate folks not like them. If you are a white christian, for now, you're safe. If you are anything else, more than likely you are the enemy of the gop.

Republicans in general hate what they fear and sadly they fear everything.

The GOP has certainly turned into an irrational "tribe". That's for sure! But in this case, there was a reason to their madness. A 51/49 Senate means the Dems can confirm judges with little or no trouble. That's a huge defeat for the GOP who are trying to pack the courts with people like Judge Cannon, in Florida. She's a judge who rules based on ideology and personal bias, rather than the law.

This is the epitome of tribalism.

Vote for party over country…

To be expected, sad but true. What I don't get is how do those who voted for walker convince themselves it was the right thing to do? How do you completely ignore reality and convince yourself this man would be good for georgia and good for america in general? A vote for walker in my mind was a vote saying trump's lie about a stolen election and the 1/6 attack on our capitol was ok. Shame on y'all.

Well you know what they say - "people in glass houses..."

Maybe we should run down a list of unqualified individuals Democrats have voted for over the years - and for the very same stupid reasons you're alleging here.

Excellent idea, looking forward to seeing your list.

One wonders if the barrel might just be empty. So Walker is who we got.

Never mind if Walker was a good candidate or not, right? A chance of making a snide remark about the Dems appeals to you more than admitting a bad candidate was a bad candidate. THAT says a lot.

I think we have to look back to the primaries. Why Walker? I did a quick search (choose a source of your liking) to see who he ran against.

Walker defeated five fellow Republicans: Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, former Trump administration official and Navy veteran Latham Saddler, retired brigadier general Jon McColumn, contractor and Air Force veteran Kelvin King and former state Rep. Josh Clark.

"Former Trump administration official and Navy veteran Latham Saddler," makes me think it wasn't trumpism. So that leaves us with name recognition or, as someone posted to me some days ago, perhaps his football fame (paraphrased)?

See the Georgia Bulldog's stadium below. This is how many Georgians voted for Walker.

Actually it is NINETEEN of those stadiums...

Can you really come up with someone as unqualified as Walker, I do not think so.

First, the House is going to do nothing but investigate every Dem in the House, The Senate and even the nation so they will have no time to actually govern. And talk about rubber stamping judicial appointments, how many judges were rubber stamped by the GOP when they controlled the Senate under Trump? That includes the one who just got bitch slapped by the 11th circuit.

We? You should start a thread. This one is about Walker. Stop deflecting.

Crazy ass MTG says she's insulted that crazy ass Herschel didn't have crazy ass MTG speak at crazy ass Herschel's campaign events. And that's why he lost.


I kind you not.

Many would happily move to Rusdia...

They should do it and then join the war on western values they so desperately want.

And get drafted to go fight in Ukraine...

Whataboutism is an argumentative tactic where a person or group responds to an accusation or difficult question by deflection. Instead of addressing the point made, they counter it with “but what about X?”.

Do you need the concept of whataboutism explained to you in plainer English?

So "what about Trump" is not something you have ever heard? Do you need the hypocrisy pointed out to you in plainer English?

I'd be delighted to see these mentality types "pack up and head to Russia ASAP"...

Not sure what you mean when you always point out " defelctions" and whataboutisms". If you do something all the time
and then criticize others when they do it, pointing this hypocrisy out is certaily valid.

That's truly horrible ....

White Working class southerners will never vote for the party of the minority.

What does that mean? So none of them voted in this runoff?

 

[Chillfolks]

Trying to shame people into voting the way you want but it’s the other guys who are a threat to democracy

what are you advocating for? Trump nominated 57 to the combined 188 seats in the nation's two highest courts, the youngest he could find, all to lifelong appointments.

None of those 57 Trump nominees are black.

President Biden nominated the only black woman in history to the Supreme Court.
