I'm serious. If Walker wins, fuck democracy? What's the point?

(53,784 posts)it's pretty obvious that the issue is the anti-democracy republican party foisting a horrible candidate upon us in their desire to take the Senate majority.
Seems you and the republican party have that anti-democracy thing in common.
What's up with that?

Herschel is a piece of crap and that is an insult to crap.
People need to wake up from the matrix and vote but they might be busy on IG and snapchat and what ever else is replacing the TV is destroying their minds.

(7,809 posts)Adding Walker to the mix will put the rethugs firmly and permanently in the laugh-at-the-idiot box.
It wasn't enough to get rid of Cawthorn. If jokes about Cruz running off to Cancun or Devin Nunes's cow weren't enough to demonstrate that they are the party of fools.
They will deserve whatever they get.

(111,098 posts)If the Governor of Georgia wins by a huge margin, then that would probably help Walker in his race? Most people vote their Party line.
If Walker wins, it would not be a good sign. The Senate would be losing one of its better Senators in Senator Warnock.
If Walker were to win by 5 or more points, it would not be a good sign for the Democrats. It would indicate a united Republican Party and make it a much more difficult task in keeping or improving Democrats chances, in my opinion.
The wild card is that Governor Brian Kemp is not a close friend of Donald Trump at this time. He is a safe vote for all Republicans. He will very hard to defeat, in my opinion.
Whether or not Georgia Republicans will vote for Walker, at the same rate as Kemp, is still to be seen?
If Walker loses, I think the Democrats could take that as a good political sign, even if Stacy Abrams loses her race.
No one is writing off Abrams yet, but she has much more difficult task than Warnock, in my opinion.

(18,125 posts)Walker is probably the least qualified person ever to run for Senate, but there are a bunch of others. Some will no doubt win.
