Janet Protasiewicz 55.6%
Daniel Kelly 44.4%
Democrats now have full control of the Wisconsin election apparatus AND now the state supreme court.
Protasiewicz has been candid during her campaign for Supreme Court about her philosophy and values on issues such as abortion, gerrymandering, LGBTQ rights, and environmental protections.[2] She supports abortion rights and opposes the state's Republican-drawn legislative maps.
This creature is now the swing & deciding vote for all Wisconsin legal disputes.
Wisconsin is a "MUST WIN" state for Trump. There is now absolutely no chance of him winning the state. If you believe the election was stolen in 2020, then you have no choice but to accept it will be stolen by a much wider margin in 2024.
Trump has no path to victory on the electoral map anymore.
On top of losing Wisconsin tonight, the fact that full control of Arizona switched to the Democrats in the recent 2022 election also means that if you believe the election was stolen in Arizona in 2020, then you have no choice but to accept it will be stolen by a much wider margin in 2024.
This was a fucking disaster.
I am actually a bit shocked by the margin that Dan Kelly ended up losing by.
It is pretty fucking clear that abortion is a huge problem for the GOP. The Dems won this Supreme Court race solely by using abortion as THE only issue.
Our party needs to fucking realize that we will never win a swing election ever again if we don't have a more moderate stance on abortion. 15 weeks ban is the way to go.
I am pro-life but I realize that young women will literally even pay 1000 dollars for groceries in order to kill their unborn child.
The party needs to change their stance on abortion. If they don't change it, we will continue to lose everything.
Voting machines and mail-in ballots couldn't care less about abortion.
All true. Overturning Roe v Wade cost us our country. If republicans had continued to run on immigration, like Trump did in 2016, we might have turned it around. Instead, we got a few state-level abortion bans and the total destruction of America. Good trade, retards.
You know what’s really fucked up? Something like 90% of abortions occur in the first 12 weeks. So if you don’t implement a total ban, the vast majority of abortions will be unaffected by any lesser restriction. So republicans squandered all of their political capital to prevent 10% of abortions in some states. Yippee.
10% of a huge number is a huge number, dummy. This is "99% of protesters were peaceful" logic.
Numbers are like other numbers? This is probably the dumbest thing anyone has ever said here.
Repeal the 19th.
Repeal the 13th.
That's all true but there's more to it than that. Abortion was a demographic relief valve. Black people in particular used abortion as a contraceptive, and as gross as that is, it kept their population growth down. Without it, the black population will increase and will eventually grow to the point where it's mathematically impossible for Republicans to win.
We have to let women kill kids to have a country. That joke writes itself.
What happens if the GOP keeps its hardline restrictionist stance on abortion?
Dems will win crucial elections and then they will get to make their ghoulish abortion policy the law of the land.
They will allow abortions even after birth.
Is this what the most dedicated of pro-lifers want to see?
Compromising with a 15 week ban will save more lives than demanding that the GOP pass a full ban and then we can painfully watch the Dems win crucial elections and then pro-lifers will be powerless as Dems repeal all of the abortion bans and allow unlimited abortions.
I completely agree, however...
Even if Republicans stick to a 15 week ban, the media and Democrats will simply pretend that Republicans are still pushing for a total abortion ban.
So will it really make a difference?
Women already do that. Killing newborns is one of the very few things they are better than men at.
Women will just hold us hostage until they get the chance to kill us if we don't turn against them now. We can win on an anti-woman platform. More specifically, an anti female privilege platform.
