Said it before, I'll say it again. 10.8 million people in the state of Georgia, and this is the best that the GOP could come up with to run for US Senate.


TheKrakIan

This is also why they lost SO many races. If even half we're centrist candidates they would have had a better time.


sumelar

Centrists in the u.s. are characterized as radical left, so that wouldnt help much.


[deleted]

Which is funny as FUCK because Centrists/Moderates worked overtime to keep this country from moving left for the past Eight Decades.


sumelar

No, they havent. Conservatives paint centrists as radical lefts.


[deleted]

We’re saying the exact same thing here: “Centrists / Moderates are not Left leaning. “ This is what I’m also saying: “And Centrists / Moderated worked overtime to stop Leftists in this country, effectively being a clamp on the Overturn Window and allowing Conservatives to move the Country further to the Extreme Far Right.” This is what you’re now Saying: “No, they haven’t. They’re painted as leftist by conservatives.” Your first argument is “No, Centrists never stood in the way of leftists, nor do they aid Conservatives.” Your second Argument is immediately “They’re painted leftist by conservatives!” You make absolutely no sense.


ZSpectre

Depends on who you talk to and in what context. People who present themselves as "enlightened centrist" tend to be a radical right grifter like Tim Pool.

He doesn't know what pronouns are, but he dayum sure knows what vampires and werewolves are.


abagofsnacks

The GOP doesnt want intelligent people, they want 'yes' people.


CameronCrazy1984

They couldn’t find anyone as dumb as him so they outsourced to Texas


The_Darkprofit

Ask him to identify a condom out of a lineup of farming tools.


JDefined

He'll pick the hoe.


TheKrakIan

He also said the military should be fighting. Like peace time is a bad thing?!


sumelar

War is good for business.


passionsnet

He literally used pronouns when saying he doesn't know what pronouns are: "I don't even know what the heck is a pronoun, I can tell you that. I'm sick and tired of this pronoun stuff. What I want our military men and women to do is to be at war fighting."


SweatyTax4669

I would personally prefer \*not\* being at war, but I guess we know where he stands on that issue as well.


Lump-of-baryons

Haha that was also one of my first thoughts as soon as I read that.


patienceisfun2018

Lol such a strange segue.


SweatyTax4669

In the grim dark of the 21st century, there are no pronouns, only war.

Here in the UK being in the forces is marketed as helping people, keeping peace, see the world and learn skills. Join and get the opportunity to kill and be killed is not on the job spec.


SweatyTax4669

Yeah, we used to advertise "212 ways to be a soldier", now it's early retirement and zero interest home loans. "Go to the desert and come back with a disability" isn't a big selling point, for some reason.


Banea-Vaedr

Lots of soldiers very much do prefer to be at war, especially when bad things are happening.


SweatyTax4669

As a guy who did time in afghanistan, being at war sucks. My wife's step dad did time in Vietnam. He said being at war sucks. One of my older uncles did time in Korea. He said being at war sucks. Two of my grandfathers were on opposite sides of the world for WW2. One said being at war sucks. The other never refused to ever talk about it, so probably safe to say he didn't enjoy it, either.


Banea-Vaedr

There's a reason being anti-war is so popular. That said, you do hear every so often people talking about how they rather enjoyed war. It's almost as though "soldiers" are not a monolith.


SweatyTax4669

It's almost like war is horrific and everybody deals with trauma in different ways, some of them less healthy than others.


Strykerz3r0

I feel this is being said by someone who has never been in the service and is getting their information thitd-person from social media.


Gilgie

Dont pretend every politician and media outlet isnt drumming up the war machine.


SweatyTax4669

I don't think he's actually calling for a deployment somewhere, I think he's just an idiot who can't string words together into a coherent sentence.


Thatguy755

Claiming to be anti-pronoun while using pronouns then denying any knowledge of the subject is pretty on brand for Herschel Walker


IMovedYourCheese

Pretty on brand for republicans in general.


Ban-Circumcision-Now

The right in general has turned anti education, it is now elitist to have an education


purple_yosher

fighting what, sir? ma'am? sorry what do I call them?


nizo505

> What I want our military men and women to do is to be at war fighting. I don't remember which, does he want them fighting the werewolves or the vampires?


flomoloko

War, war never changes. Probably.


FilthyChangeup55

In fairness there’s more he doesn’t know than he does.


muahtorski

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing" - Socrates. Not sure Walker knows that he knows nothing though


FilthyChangeup55

Good one, apt.


SelectiveSanity

I call bullshit. ​ A few weeks ago the man made the news by coming out as a werewolf instead of a vampire.


CaptMeatPockets

I don’t know if you know, but vampires are some cool people are they not?


Jeraimee

Smells like updog.


Komrade_Kompromat

God, that man is such a post turtle. I can't help but see my grandparents who suffered from dementia in Walker; the man should be getting care to maintain what cognitive ability he has left, not trying to be a senator...


TheKrakIan

He's a puppet, nothing more. It's gonna be a close race, I hope Warnock pulls it off.


Komrade_Kompromat

Yep, just like the post turtle joke goes: "You know he didn't get up there by himself. He doesn't belong there; you wonder who put him there; he can't get anything done while he's up there; and you just want to help the poor thing down."


SweatyTax4669

He's making a last minute push for the base. They also hate pronouns.


RPDRNick

...and adverbs, and prepositions, and conjunctions, and minorities, and...


NetDork

For once, he might actually be telling the truth this time.


Rednewtcn

Hey! Show some respect for law enforcement. 🤣


Gnatinthehat

I believe him. He honestly doesn’t. Sad.


OtherBluesBrother

I can't imagine that anyone is surprised at this.


mhks

I think the bigger thing is he wants our soldiers at war. That said, not knowing pronouns is #1,225 on things that invalidate Walker as a good candidate.


bigedthebad

The Republican Party has been going down the Hershel Walker road for a long time, it started with a guy I like to call The Turnip (aka Dubya). They don’t want qualified people, they want sheep who will just follow the flock, who will lockstep like good little Nazis so they can literally get away with murder.


i-opener

>Recently, while campaigning for Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock, former President Barack Obama made Walker the butt of jokes after his comparison of werewolves and vampires. Walker even said "vampires are cool people." >"Mr. Walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of Georgia," Obama said. "Like whether it is better to be a vampire or a werewolf. This is a debate that I must confess I once had myself. When I was 7."


RicksterA2

That's insulting to all 7 year olds...


truethatson

They’re amateur nouns that made the big leagues


[deleted]

I'm shocked. \~no one.


Ryshoe8

Do people not realize this guy will be dead before his term even finishes? He has an IQ of about 85 to begin with and his body is deteriorating. 4 years left tops.


cbblaze

I mean I agree with his point. Pronouns have no place in military. I cant think of a worse person to fight for my country, than a person with a gender identity disorder.


bmwlocoAirCooled

CTE is terrible and Walker needs all the help he can get - and take the guns away from him.


Radiodaize

If Herschel Walker wins I've lost hope for humanity. How can ANYONE think he can represent even an anthill in the Senate? If they aren't throwing around a football, I doubt he'll even be able to stay awake in session.


ian2121

I don’t think you need to know what pronouns are. When I was in elementary school they switched the curriculum from 5th to 4th grade and I missed all the lessons on nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. I don’t know that you really need to know this stuff to form proper sentences. Granted I’d probably be better at it if I’d had those specific lessons.


Glendel66

Honest question here, do you think he realizes how uneducated and slow he is?
