I live in Georgia and receive HW mailers. I dont receive Warnock ones-- which itself is unusual since I live in a swing district and despite my current R views, my voting record has been mostly democratic.

The pitch HW's campaign makes is essentially, "he isnt a democrat." I have received 3 so far. One was handwritten on a postcard and was the most detailed. It said HW would vote to keep government spending down to control inflation, he would support the police and strengthen the criminal justice system, and he would keep men out of women's sports (their phrasing, not mine).

The other one could be summarized as, "he is a Republican."

The final one was on a black mailer in white lettering that said "2023 could be worse." Then on the other side, there were blurbs that essentially said voting for HW would constrain the progressive left.

I think this is effective messaging.


If you currently have R views—after all of this—you’re not a Warnock voter.



I was on the fence, and previously posted here I would vote for Warnock. Im still shakey but likely to vote HW.


If “he isn’t a Democrat” is all it takes to convince you, you are a Republican. Own it.


Yeah, I do. This isnt about me, though. It is super odd that Warnock isnt sending any campaign material to people with a long and established history of voting democratic. It's a tight race, and Warnock's to lose, really.

This is the weirdest take I’ve read. You can email and get on their mailing list, or could have, at any point. Most people want to cut down on junk mail and you want more of it, to the extent that not receiving it will sway your vote? This is seriously just a bizarre way to make the decision.

Here. Pretend this is your mailbox and the Warnock campaign has personally contacted you: https://warnockforgeorgia.com/

Need more pieces of mail to make up your mind? Our campaign understands that the economy is the most important thing to you, so please read where Warnock stands on the economy: https://warnockforgeorgia.com/issues/jobs/

Now the campaign is sending you news about Obama stumping for Warnock: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/obama-rally-friday-raphael-warnock-stacey-abrams-atlanta-rcna54385

Please find out all the endorsements Senator Warnock has received: https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/evaluations/189794/raphael-warnock

Senator Warnock asks for your vote. Decency asks for your vote for Senator Warnock.


Well, thats a hot take on campaigning, that it isnt necessary and that it is on voters to seek the candidate's materials.

Im telling you what is happening in GA. I think Warnock's campaign just isnt showing up in the same way as Walker's. Seeing one billboard for one of the most watched races in the nation is weird.

What’s weird is using that as a reason to not vote for a candidate whom you prefer.


I dont really prefer Warnock. I was just worried HW was too dumb to do the job.


You should worry about that, because Walker totally is too dumb to do the job. He admitted it here:


Yeah, no question that he's... an aspirational figure to anyone who struggles intellectually. That's his serious downside.

You're going to vote for Walker because you didn't get any Warnock mailers? Come on, tell the truth. You were always going to vote for Walker.

Make up your mind. Are you a Republican or do you have a long history of voting Democratic? It sounds like both sides know you are a Republican. Walker's pitch is simply "I'm not a Democrat" and Warnock isn't wasting any of his campaign budget on you.

Democratic campaigns don't piss away money sending mail to Republican voters in Republican precincts. They have two targets - (1) turning out people who are highly likely to vote Democratic if they vote and (2) persuading voters who are non-partisan or merely partisan leans who are persuadable on issues and concerns and candidate qualifications. You do not appear to fit either target group.



Um, both. I have a long history of voting democratic. I now intend to vote Republican. This isnt complicated. Also, as I previously noted, I am in a swing district. And, the only other Georgian to post hete chimed in that HW's campaign is far more dominant than Warnock's.

This is such tortured reasoning as to why to vote for someone that I’m starting to think you ARE Herschel Walker.

Oh, no. That's not my reason at all. As I said, this isnt about me or my reasoning. Im sharing what I am observing about the campaigns. My reason is actually that I would rather have the GOP control the senate, even if that comes with serious issues with HW. I actually came to this while listening to Democratic talking points about Fetterman.

Its bizarre that you continually looked for my reasons for the shift in sentiment when I repeatedly explained that wasnt what I was talking about. Im not trying to pursuade you, presumably you dont live in Georgia.

Because you’re a Republican.

And I’m sure it’s easy for Walker to spend money like it’s raining with GOP dark money and Russian oligarch money flowing freely. It seems only Democrats live within the confines of the law and you’re happy to support the GOP’s fascism and even to make dopey excuses for them and your shoddy reasoning.

Because abortion rights are not of concern to you.
Because integrity is not of concern to you.
Because you don't want Biden to get to appoint another SCOTUS if a seat becomes open.
Because you want nothing to get through congress the next two years -- which it won't if Republicans control it. You know that, of course.

+1 PP’s “journey” reminds me of Susan Collins finally announcing she was going to vote in Brett’s favor when she was going to all along.

I understand that people will vote for Walker no matter what they learn about him because they don’t want a Democrat to hold that Senate seat, but is there any reason to LIKE Hershel Walker, besides that he’s not a Democrat?

More or less insufferable than dancing around the issue, alluding to your "long history of voting demoratic," and posting innuendos about your appeal for Herschel Walker and your distaste for Warnock when you were always going to vote for Herschel Walker to begin with?

The final one was on a black mailer in white lettering that said "2023 could be worse." Then on the other side, there were blurbs that essentially said voting for HW would constrain the progressive left.

I think this is effective messaging.


If you currently have R views—after all of this—you’re not a Warnock voter.



I was on the fence, and previously posted here I would vote for Warnock. Im still shakey but likely to vote HW.


If “he isn’t a Democrat” is all it takes to convince you, you are a Republican. Own it.


Yeah, I do. This isnt about me, though. It is super odd that Warnock isnt sending any campaign material to people with a long and established history of voting democratic. It's a tight race, and Warnock's to lose, really.


Make up your mind. Are you a Republican or do you have a long history of voting Democratic? It sounds like both sides know you are a Republican. Walker's pitch is simply "I'm not a Democrat" and Warnock isn't wasting any of his campaign budget on you.

Democratic campaigns don't piss away money sending mail to Republican voters in Republican precincts. They have two targets - (1) turning out people who are highly likely to vote Democratic if they vote and (2) persuading voters who are non-partisan or merely partisan leans who are persuadable on issues and concerns and candidate qualifications. You do not appear to fit either target group.



Um, both. I have a long history of voting democratic. I now intend to vote Republican. This isnt complicated. Also, as I previously noted, I am in a swing district. And, the only other Georgian to post hete chimed in that HW's campaign is far more dominant than Warnock's.


What are Walker's attributes that persuade your change?



Omg. Reread my above. Im not interested in discussing my personal journey in deciding to vote for HW bc it isnt relevant or even interesting.

Because you’re a Republican.

And I’m sure it’s easy for Walker to spend money like it’s raining with GOP dark money and Russian oligarch money flowing freely. It seems only Democrats live within the confines of the law and you’re happy to support the GOP’s fascism and even to make dopey excuses for them and your shoddy reasoning.


Yes, I am republican. And youre insufferable.

Classic maga. Proven wrong, you have to lash out with a personal attack. Never change, slick. Never change (just kidding, you should, but you’ve been brainwashed by right wing propaganda so long you can’t anymore!).

Dislike him if he doesn’t send your daughter a check for her abortion. Like him and kiss him if he sends your daughter a check for her abortion.
