You should be ashamed of yourself at the way you are treating these subjects. It's absolutely despicable for you to act that way. This is where the morals of our country are going downhill. That is is pretty low.
The fact that Republicans are going after contraception, gay marriage, and not doing anything to protect rape victims or doing anything about guns, how are we to take them serious? And people who are voting for Kemp are forgetting or covering their eyes regarding the fact that he cheated his way into this position and Brad Raffensperger is carrying the torch to remove more (mostly people of color from voting). It sickens me that people forget so easily and can support a cheater. He is also doing nothing about healthcare or guns in Georgia and just want to keep everything old school. Georgia needs to progress and the only way to Do that is to get rid of Kemp and Raffensperger. And Walker should be a hell no vote but to own the libs, Republicans are willing to take down the entire nation than to be reasonable. It is disgusting to watch this all play out. We know what the end result will be if Americans keep on voting in these fools.

This is why I favor term limits for every member of congress.

We're done with this conversation, when the side that says in one breathe the republicans are taking away a women's rights yet at the same time supports turning a whole group of men into women who say men can give birth..... if we're taking away women's rights, why do so many of them want to become women all of a sudden? Must not be too bad huh? As a women the only thing I can't do that a man can do is write my name in the snow..... No one is taking my rights away.....
This is nonsense. No one on the left wants to turn a whole generation of men into women. How pathetic it must be, to look hollowly through subjects you don't understand, for the sole purpose of not understanding them... and then standing on your ignorance as if that's empirical evidence. Gay people have always existed.

All of the sudden????? Trans folks have always existed. Rightwing evangelicals just REMINDED YOU TO BE SCARED OF THEM!!! Also, you must not be aware of how insanely expensive bottom surgery is. In a nation that doesn't have universal healthcare, how many people are lining up for those procedures? Give me some numbers.

How many court cases are there presently, against children being groomed and abused? Who are those court cases against? A coalition or drag queens, a group of LGBTQ teachers, or several churches and thier clergy?

This is an excellent example of neo-Stockholm syndrome. Also, you lost the right to a safe abortion in Georgia. That state also has striking poverty that prevents mobility for a lot of folks, so there is no other options. You're being disingenuous. Must be nice.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as to get a better understanding of the mindset it takes to able to vote for someone like Hershel Walker. Ya'll gave us MTG after all.

It's quite telling, and very easy to understand this problem.

You see, people who support Walker, don't have to explain or say anything regarding their support for him.

Only Hershel Walker needs to do the talking.

Once one hears his inability to articulate anything of substance (let alone his actual thoughts and politics), one will then understand his supporters don't vote based on his thoughts and policies. They vote based on their intent to damage the other side, even if it means throwing the whole nation under the bus of incompetent leadership. My grandparents grew up under Jim Crow and segregation. They made us aware of the kind of people that act so wickedly. The internet makes it easy for them to expose themselves. Especially on a conservative echo chamber like this forum.

You could easily insert Biden for every time Walker is mentioned in this statement.

In your echo chamber maybe. Adults who can hold genuine, nuanced conversations can easily point out Biden's flaws, while acknowledging Hershel Walker is on another level of incompetence (one that surpasses Trump even). Are you able to separate levels of stupidity? If one person does something stupid, does that immediately make them as dumb as the stupidest person in the room? No.

Same for the Republican party as a whole. Are both sides bad? yes. One side however, is completely running off the deep end, making the conversation easy as to who is worse. How ever bad the dems are, they aren't "I'm a Christian Nationalist and everyone who doesn't adhere to us should be second class citizens" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "Brag about the infrastructure bill to their constituents while also voting against it" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "We're voting down this bill to help veterans and blaming the dems on it's failure" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "The democrats reached across the aisle to implement our healthcare plan, but we propagandized people against it because we're partisan hacks and adhere only to the healthcare industry when it comes to legislation regarding healthcare" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "Let's specifically close polls in predominantly black counties as to inconvenience them" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "Our state is so partisan and corrupt, a conservative senator from an entirely different state, felt the need to weigh in on our election results, as to invalidate other folks ballots" bad.

However bad the dems are, they aren't "Let a democratic official speak at a high school while simultaneously being investigated by the FBI for Sex trafficking MINORS" bad

(for the love of god, they make a big deal about Drag brunch, while Matt Gaetz was trying to give a high school commencement speech while under investigation for the creepiest of charges)

Damn, you “hit the nail on its head”!!! That Columbus guys Is a complete joke. You laid it all out and all he could say is that your “talking points are from CNN”. This is the type of person that will vote for Walker. They think and respond similarly!!! Republicans are literally attacking education, healthcare, equality, freedom, voting rights, postal service, and even are threatening to take away social security, gay marriage, and have even heard a Republican state that he want to repeal interracial marriage. I mean the list goes on and on and on and it is not funny at all and it really won’t be funny when their rights are affected. I can see America going downhill all because of racism, classism, overly religious freaks, and just plain dumb citizens and politicians. We are heading backwards and the slide is happening quickly.

Please provide evidence that any of what was posted is incorrect. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you are voting for Walker. Please tell us what, in your mind, qualifies him for the position.

Once again.... this is the best we got?

(And nobody is stripping women's health rights... it went back to the states.... what could be more democratic than sending it back to the people at a local level? And I say that as a WOMAN!)
If it truly went back to the people of the state then it should be a ballot question in November and leave it up to the voters.
