I expected Republicans to win competitive governorships, the House easily and be favored to win the Senate.
First we actually lost nearly every fucking single competitive governor race.
I am stunned that we lost all of these so called competitive governor races: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kansas, New Mexico, Maine, Oregon.
I thank God that we somehow won governorships in Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Georgia and did amazing in the Florida governor race.
Kari Lake might even lose. I am livid. How the fuck does this happen?
We lost congressional house districts today in places that I never thought we would lose this year. We lost tossup congress races in fucking Ohio.
The Senate is a nightmare. Oz lost to Fetterman without the Dems even stopping the count and flooding it with mail in ballots.
Dems likely going to keep the Senate
We barely flip the House at this rate. I swear if we somehow fail to flip the House.
Today was worse than 2020.
I thank God that in my state, Texas, Republicans atleast won every statewide race.
Ronna McDaniel, Rick Scott, Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump all fucked up massively with messaging, candidate selection and cohesion.
The impact of the repeal of Roe v Wade, 1/6, Trump's shitty primary picks and woke college educated whites turning out massively harmed us so much.
I'm not mad at you, but I do disagree. Roe was garbage and had to go, though I am pro-choice. The problem is that some of the Republicans ran roughshod with all sorts of crazy bans.
Even from their own POV, it would be much better to not alarm people when Roe is overturned, and to start very slowly.
I think for M it may have added an aura of extremism, when in reality Shapiro was the real extremist.
For me, it's tomorrow. Yes, it is disappointing, but don't lose heart. It may have silver lining yet. This may be a warning show for Republicans to not push things too far on abortion, and to Trump to not kid around with the candidates that he backs. Imagine if this lesson had only come in 2024.
