It seems like quality of candidate matters more on the Republican side. Democrats have figured out that once you get to a general election, you vote for the party, not the person. You vote for the person during primaries.
This man has said it all in one short paragraph. Fetterman Biden and yes Warnock were horrible but it didn't matter who the candidate was, they were voting for the D.

Walker was designated to lose regardless of his turnout. This is to promote the narrative that Trump caused his loss.
The establishment election riggers are transparent, if anyone cares to look.

The Dems don’t run good candidates. They run terrible candidates. Warnock was a terrible candidate.
Dems outnumber Republicans so the onus is on republicans to run better candidates if they want to win.

I’m convinced there was MAJOR frickery with his second term, if that’s what you are referencing.

Republicans need to learn to vote early
trump spoke against using mail. being against mail became an element of trumpism. trump discouraged all but day of voting.
as a result now republicans use mail less.
they do not vote early as much as possible.
ask why trump opposed mail and absentee and early voting in the months before 2020 election.

Only problem was more Democrats showed up also. Republicans need to learn to vote early so they don't get passed up so easily when those votes start getting counted
Are you stupid? Are you telling me that if a higher percentage of the same number of Republicans voted earlier then they would win?

Uh…that’s been the case in the vast majority of elections since the beginning of the United States of America.

bullshite. Republican use of early voting has remained constant but oddly democrat use of it has skyrocketed. Hmmmm

Kemp’s margin of victory says this clearly.

Every time someone says Herschel was a bad candidate, I want them to defend Fetterman for the democrats that beat Oz. Explain that. Both by descriptions of people seem to be off in the head. So why did Fetterman win?
No one says a thing.
Should the US still be standing when the next election cycle comes around, and a “good” candidate is propped up and loses to a democrat potato for GA, I wanna see the explanation.

If you are really stumped by this thats pretty sad. Dems have embraced and pushed mail in voting because they know their base is too lazy to stand in line. Republicans haven't.

Because both sides of the political spectrum are not held to the same standard by the vast majority of the media. If you can’t understand that, then you’re either ignorant or choose to not understand.
Yes, the Republican side needs candidate who are heads and shoulders above the Democrat challenger, especially an incumbent. You may not like that, but it’s reality.
Plus, conservatives TEND to be (the Trump is never at fault crowd has me questioning this recently) much more individualist and free thought than the Democrat base. The left’s base is much more a group think, follow what our leaders tell us to do mentality. They’ll flock to the polls and vote how their “community leaders’” push cards tell them to vote.
Conservative-minded voters tend to be less likely to do that and are willing to give their “leadership” the middle finger if they feel a horrible candidate has been forced down their throats.

Its simple. Dems outnumber Republicans so if both run terrible candidates and split independents evenly, the dem candidate wins every time. If Republicans run a clearly better candidate and get 70% of the independent vote they can still win. Oz and Herschel were not seen as great candidates by independents

I tend to disagree with this assessment, in part.
Dems are going to vote Dem and GOP voters are going to vote GOP. It is the fight for the independent voter which wins or loses almost every election in this country.
The interesting question is why INDEPENDENTS seems to be more likely to give the benefit of the doubt to a Dem candidate (eg Fetterman) versus a GOP candidate (eg Walker).

Democrats are obsessed with politicians. They think about them every blink and every step through their life because they actually believe they will improve their lives. They are rabid fans. It is so fricking weird to see them behave the way they do when they see one. They’re celebrities to them. I see a politician and wonder who the person they are with are and in what way are they being greased for an advantage that the public isn’t privy to.
Everything is too shady. From the way the legislature makes deals all the way up to the top where a Speaker can withhold bills by a President she ‘doesn’t like’ from Congress, so the president doesn’t get a win that threatens their reelection. Then after a president is gone - give that bill to a freshman congressman who will be up for reelection in 2 years and needs ‘wins’ in his record for proof of effectiveness as a campaign angle.
frick all that fugazi nonsense. My voice isn’t counted or wanted to be heard. I’m out. Y’all can have your useless Demi Gods and bow at their feet for whatever it is you think that will get you except scraped up knees

American culture these days is what can I get for free. I see it daily in the sales world, we lose all sense when something free is dangled. Obsession with getting maximum return on minimal effort is what is affecting America, which is not the way this country was built.

Okay. I mean, Kemp won. Every other Republican statewide candidate won except for Walker.

Cant speak to Fetterman but generally independents would rather have the house and senate belong to different parties.
For the walker runoff this was on the line
