[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just some thoughts on the campaigns...

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. [/quote]

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

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

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

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.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

When Democrats were in control, they slowed down the Senate to the point it would have taken 11 years for Trump to get his administration staffed.  McConnell then changed the rules to cut down on debate time from 30 hours to 2 per nominee.[/quote]
THE DEMOCRATS NEVER CONTROLLED THE SENATE WHILE TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT.[/quote]

That's how McConnell got to change the rules, and eventually speed things up.[/quote]
So Trump was never affected by those delays, and McConnell took charge of the Senate in January 2015 after which Obama’s appointees were stymied - one of them died waiting for her hearing. Do you ever get tired of being wrong?[/quote]
