I know that the equivalent has been stated here at least 55,000 times...

but somehow I feel compelled to remark that I find it beyond incredible that this number of people would vote for a person to go to the United States Senate, whom they would not dream of sending to represent the family at a real estate closing.

For me, it demonstrates the complete and utter cynicism, Hate, and ridiculousness of people of this mindset. Do you realize, that if the Democrats had somehow put up the equivalent, virtually no Democrats would vote for him or her. They would hold their nose and not vote for any candidate, or would vote for the Candidate of the opposing party, with the rationalization that at least this individual was “sane“.

I just don’t know what to say. It is beyond repulsive. I assume Warnock shall emerge victorious but my God, it should have been 75-25 at worst. 🤮

We don't have the same "facts". It used to be there is only one fact and you have your opinion based on those facts. But not anymore with the crazy right wing.

Based on what has come out, Walker would have been dangerous, not only politically but also physically.

They are voting against a Democrat. The constant vitriol spewed against us has permanently damaged them.

This individual has a severe mental deficiency. It would be tragic under any other circumstances.
