Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I hereby declare that the $1,000 that I contributed to Reverend Ralph's campaign between the general election and the run-off was the decisive factor in his victory. 3 8 3 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Walker going to make up all these numbers with a couple hundred thousand apparently left in Atlanta and the suburbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I don’t know why anybody had any worry about the outcome. Walker couldn’t win with the coattails of a very popular GOP Governor, he wasn’t going to win without that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The House GOP also have the most tenuous of majorities, so plenty of chances to peel off a handful on topics with fairly broad public support.

mclumber1 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I do wonder if Walker being black dissuaded some potential GOP voters from supporting him? By that I mean, if you had a GOP candidate that was just like Walker, but was white instead of black, would he have beaten Warnock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsida Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The Racist Origins of Georgia's Runoff Elections WWW.INSIDER.COM On December 6, Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock enter a runoff election for Georgia's Senate seat. Runoff elections are a byproduct of a decades-old law in the state. “Runoff elections were the brainchild of Denmark Groover Jr., a vocal segregationist who wanted to split the Black vote.” It seems obvious that Warnock had to run in 4 elections in 2 years is an artifact of Jimcrow attempting to maintain control.

So long as they still believe that their opponents are all child-molesting demon worshippers who kidnap kids to harvest their precious body fluids, nothing will change.

By that I mean, if you had a GOP candidate that was just like Walker, but was white instead of black, would he have beaten Warnock? Perhaps, or maybe Walker is the manifestation of their caricature of a black man. The Herschel Walker Senate Campaign Is an Insult to Black People | The Nation WWW.THENATION.COM Georgia Republicans have embraced Walker because they think any old Black person will do when it comes to their cynical strategy for defeating Raphael Warnock. Quote Herschel Walker, the football star turned Georgia Senate candidate, is an animated caricature of a Black person drawn by white conservatives. Walker is what they think of us, and they think we’re big, ignorant, and easily manipulated. They think we’re shady or criminal. They think we’re tools to be used. The Walker campaign exists as a political minstrel show: a splashy rendition of what white Republicans think Black people look and sound like. Herschel Walker’s Candidacy Is an Assault on the Dignity of Black Americans - The Atlantic WWW.THEATLANTIC.COM Black bodies, white agendas Quote Every time I watch one of these smug, jowly, dangerous Republicans sitting next to Herschel Walker, wheeling him out for their own designs, I see that dinner-table conversation in the background of my mind. Walker is a big, ball-carrying Black man, and these Republicans do not have an ounce of care for him. They are using him to advance their own Constitution-compromising agenda, the way conservative white people in this country have always used Black bodies when given half a chance. Walker stands up at podiums, and I feel shame and sorrow and resentment. He is incoherent, bumbling, oily. He smiles with a swagger that does nothing to disguise his total ignorance of how blatantly he is being taken advantage of by a party that has never intended to serve people who look like him.
