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.
Nah, I've been hearing this 'we need to put off anything resembling an actual move on the abortion issue because muh electoral politics' line ever since I became politically aware, and older pro-lifers have been hearing it since the 70s. That nonsense can fuck right off, and anyone who buys into it (like you) is the real retard playing into an increasingly blatantly rigged game. If you have to throw away your principles and become a soulless uniparty hack forever trying to string your constituents along, then your '''''victory''''' is a hollow one at best.
If the Democrats get a big enough margin they'll finally dispel the fiction of a functioning democracy once and for all? Fucking fantastic I say, the sooner it becomes obvious to the masses that electoralism is as rigged and unwinnable a game as optics, the better. And I hope they get the chance right alongside the depression they're working so frantically to bring about as well, to maximize the chance of blowback and total system failure.
Nothing short of the discrediting and collapse of all current institutions and the poisonous belief system undergirding them is going to open the door to fixing civilization in our lifetimes. At this point, still trying to uphold the same system and play by its rules is complete fucking idiocy.
