In both Georgia and Pennsylvania it’s a question of voting for whichever candidate is the least awful and it’s a tough call figuring out which one that is - sigh. It’s like a cruel sequel to the 2020 presidential election.

Then you go on issues. There is no perfect candidate in a person's life or plays the perfect part in front of the cameras. If you have problems with inflation, crime, border, gas and education under Biden then there isn't much to think about or for who to vote for.
If you like Biden's policies and believe in that doctrine then you vote for Fetterman and Warnock. Fetterman who believes in Sander's socialist policies is the worse if you are a true conservative.
My guess is that the number of Republican leaning voters that would defect from Walker over the latest allegations is negligible. There is a large share of voters who have little interest in personal controversies (especially those that impact candidates in their preferred party), and assume that virtually all politicians have sketchy backgrounds anyway but some just happen to get theirs aired out due to media bias.
Warnock and Walker could very well be headed to a runoff after Election Day, given neither is reaching 50% of the vote in most polls. Thus Georgia could once again determine which party holds a Senate majority. The governor's race is a different matter, and most likely the numbers just aren't there for Abrams to win.
If We just go by personal past then both candidates are bad. In my opinion Warnock is worse because he is an active preacher of Jesus Christ with a questionable divorce and for abortions on demand. How he is allow to be an active preacher and be in the U.S. Senate is beyond me. That's like the Mormon prophet running for President while he is active as the prophet. Scary stuff.

In both Georgia and Pennsylvania, the election is a question of voting for forced birth extremists & radical election deniers vs candidates who support women's rights and democracy.
Couldn't be clearer to me, which decent candidates I want in my corner. I know which potential senators will stand up for our nation's foundational democratic principles and will support American women and the men who care about them, and which condone and promote Trump's MAGA Republican Big Lie and the cruel subjugation of American women.
Easy choice, IMO.

Hypocrisy is not a virtue. If questioning an election is anti-democracy then Democrats shouldn't be in the ballot or in government. The unborn child doesn't count?
It's kinda of hard to take you serious when you are alive. Isn't that a conflict of interest ? Don't use abortions on demand as birth control or have the government subsidizing it. You should have a bigger problem with an active preacher being in the U.S. Senate. That's like having Cardinal Dolan running as the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Scary but the Democrats' own outrage never applies to them just for Republicans.
"The cruel subjugation of women?" LMAO! So if GOP takes back the house, the women in this country will suffer with extreme cruelty? The drama. You can't make this up

The only thing I ask is that if you guys are going to run guys like Trump and Herschel...
Could you at least finally put the "family values" card back in the deck.
These senatorial races are not about equally unqualified candidates.
Georgia:
Republican candidate Walker: A delusional & conspiratorial MAGA GOP election denier extraordinaire, with a fictional autobiography, an inability to string 2 thoughts together and the family values of an alley cat. He thinks we shouldn't address climate change because we have enough trees and insists on a federal total abortion ban "for thee, but not for me"
Democratic candidate Warnock: A PhD who champions voting rights, women's rights and as a current US senator successfully lobbied to cap insulin costs for Medicare recipients and made it a point to work across the aisle, teaming up with Republican Ted Cruz on a highway funding proposal. This well-spoken pastor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s old church resides firmly in reality and supports our foundational principle of whoever gets the most votes or electoral votes is the winning candidate.
But hey, Walker was a really good football player! And is a Donald Trump & Mitch McConnell fave!
Pennsylvania:
Republican candidate Mehmet Oz: A discredited former thoracic surgeon & television hawker of magic diet pills and pseudo-science COVID treatments, fined millions for his fraudulent quackery, is an extremist forced birther and an election denier. He lives in New Jersey, works in New York City and votes in Turkey.
Democratic candidate Fetterman is the lieutenant-governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is running on the same issues he's valued for the past 2 decades: Pennsylvania jobs & businesses, women's rights, free and fair elections, rule of law, incarceration honesty and educational sanity.
But hey, Oz was a TV star! And a Donald Trump & Mitch McConnell fave!
When the far -right sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems to us.
These senatorial races are not about voting for whichever candidate is the least awful and unqualified. C'mon, now. The MAGA GOP led by the disgraced and defeated former guy are the culprits who have assembled a trove of truly terrible candidates in their quest for power not good governance, and the 2 races being discussed in this thread are only the tip of the iceberg.
