Kentucky governor: Andrew Beshear(D) has won re-election. Daniel Cameron couldn't win against Beshear in a solid red state. Cameron ran a mediocre campaign that solely focused on his Trump endorsement.
Republicans still managed to win all of the downballot offices: SOS, AG, Treasurer and Agriculture commissioner.
The sad truth is that we probably shouldn't run a Black man as the GOP candidate in a southern state like Kentucky.
Ohio: Dems have won yet another abortion referendum in a red state. GOP needs to stop fucking having these referendums. Clear that abortion is sadly popular nationwide. Abortion is clearly a losing issue for Republicans.
Virginia Legislature: The Dems have kept the State Senate denying Governor Youngkin and the Republicans a tri-fecta.
Pretty terrible night for Republicans all around.
Just vote harder guys! That will totally stop them from stealing 2024 as well. It's worked so great the last several election cycles. The disaster in Virginia proves that they're just as willing to cheat against the house nigger caucus as they are against MAGA. There's no peaceful way out. The GOP probably won't even exist by 2030. The Pedo party is implementing one party rule and the people who are supposed to be opposing them are standing by and letting it happen.
In PA, they accidentally put the vote-flipping code on the wrong side of the UI.
Kentucky has Republicans take it all except the Governor, because that makes sense.
Totally normal voting. Very legitimate. I'm sure vote stealers would just shrug and play honestly to avoid some theoretical consequences that never happen.
I wonder how much is fraud and how much is stupid old people who shouldn't be allowed to vote. Like legitimate boomers who don't appreciate the political divide in America today. "I vote for the man not the party, and that Andy fella never did us wrong. I like the cut of his jib. Don't know the other fella."
Some people actually do vote split tickets.
Some voters in Kentucky voted Trump on the federal level but still voted for Andrew Beshear on the state level.
They like Andy because he is the son of former governor Steve Beshear.
Andy Beshear had fucking near 60 percent approval in Kentucky.
All of our other candidates in Kentucky won except for the governor.
All of our other candidates were not running against a popular incumbent and our other candidates were White.
Running Black man Daniel Cameron in KY was a big mistake it seems.
Another case of prime idiocy from the electorate. "Sins of the father" logic should apply similarly to good deeds. Just because his father was great, doesn't mean his children automatically are.
And in the case of Steve Beshear's political affiliation, the Democrats of over two decades ago aren't quite the same ones now, but the average voter still isn't smart enough to have caught on yet.
If it means anything to you, the same thing happened here in Kansas in 2022. Because people didnt like the Republican option for governor, but they did like the down-ticket Republicans or at the very least just did the rest of the ticket as R. So its not as unusual as you think. And ironically, it results in said Dem governors hands being tied on a lot of the stupidest things because the rest of her cabinet is calling her an idiot.
Qrd on PA?
People were picking their choices on screen and the screens were showing they clicked something different.
VA is a blue state, you retard. They have been for a long time. Dems winning isn't shocking.
What is surprising is if it was less than Biden+10, r's tended to win.
VA tends to go the opposite direction of the White House. The groomer that Younkin beat managed to upset that pattern 10 years ago, but that just shows that VA is redder than it was 10 years ago. Probably not by a lot, but it shouldn't have been a hopeless cause given PedoJoe's unpopularity.
Modern women demand abortion. Even married and "conservative" ones. There is no way around that in the modern culture.
The solution would make the Taliban look like feminists.
I wish I could be surprised by the abortion referendum in OH, but this was always inevitable when you live in a decaying democracy where Christian values and the very idea of having moral standards have been spat upon since the 1960s at the absolute latest, and the average modern woman has been conditioned all her life to tolerate no limitation on her whims. Ah well. A people so addicted to their 'right' to kill off the next generation for their own convenience will get what they deserve, and arguably already are starting to.
There is fundamentally no democratic solution to that problem, except a collapse and consequent exploitation of the opportunity to strip away the franchise from any enemy who survives your wrath (provided you win, of course). Until then, best you can hope for is to execute the same infiltration of the institutions that the pro-life movement did to kill Roe in the first place, propagandize against Molochian sentiment to turn the culture away (a generational process) and get your pet judges to do to abortion 'rights' the same thing the Dems do every time an issue they don't like wins at the ballot, like gay marriage: play endless fuck-fuck games, rule against it at every possible turn, declare 'actually fuck the people's will, abortion is illegal no matter what because I say so' where they can get away with it and limit it as much as humanly possible on every possible grounds they can think of (no matter how baseless) in places where they can't.
Once you reach the conclusion of there being no political solution, everything becomes clear.
Sorry boys. Ohio has fallen. Frustrating given the fact that this amendment is way more radical than the average voter. They did a stellar job of prettying it up and making it sound good with the wording.
Abortion is sadly popular nationwide amongst the electorate.
This is not an Ohio issue man.
The Dems have now won abortion referendums in Kansas, Kentucky, Montana and now Ohio.
I am pro-life and it is heartbreaking to admit that we have lost the battle on abortion for this generation.
Repealing Dobbs was a mistake. There are now going to be actually more late term abortions performed in any state that has a mechanism for triggering a referendum on abortion.
Dems can win a referendum on abortion in virtually any of the 50 states. That is the sick truth.
The current degenerate electorate of America supports abortions so our candidates need to accept reality and stop pushing on this issue.
GOP can win on the economy, immigration, gun rights and transgender ideology issue.
Abortion is clearly our worst issue.
I dont necessarily disagree with most of that, but at the same time I don't think, at least in Ohio, that the average voter supports a blank check for 9 month abortions. Just the shitty way it is worded makes a good chunk of people not realize that is what they are voting for.
For example, if the wording were changed to "the State cannot prevent one from getting an abortion at any point during a pregnancy up until birth" or something, I don't see that passing at all. It's the "only if their doctor signs off on it" that makes it so appealing to well-meaning normies, because they are too naive to realize that an abortionist can count as a doctor to give the green light.
Could be wrong though, I've been unpleasantly surprised before...
Regardless, it's kind of like the Biden vs Trump question. Regardless of whether the dirty politics and the weasel wording is the difference, the fact of the matter is anywhere from 40-60% of people who turnout to vote support anything from relatively unrestricted abortion to complete 9 month abortion no strings attached. Regardless of where that actual number falls the situation is still extremely dire, especially seeing as the numbers are likely worse among the younger generations.
Hard to see this remedying without a healing of moral values at a much more fundamental level. And it is hard to see that coming without a collapse of sorts. Tough situation.
The bottom line is people just don't care that much about other people's children, not enough to use the force of law to stop them from getting abortions. What do you expect in a liberal, individualist society? The GOP and conservatives don't actually challenge the foundational assumptions that lead to abortion being popular.
Canada literally has no abortion restrictions from an official legal perspective.
The left still constantly trots out "the conservatives has a secret agenda to take away your abortion rights" any time they have a political scandal or dip in the polls.
It's not really about abortion. The GOP is being systematically destroyed, and traitors within are doing the heavy lifting. They just extended voting in Niggertown Mississippi so they can steal the governorship. This is just another step in the path to one party rule. The Republican party won't exist in 2030 with the way things are going. Large parts of the country are occupied and so called "conservatives" are collaborating with enthusiasm that would make the Vichy regime blush.
They extended voting past today? How do they justify that?
Since when do those pedophiles have to justify anything they do? That shithole city deserves the Gaza treatment, but only after its water supply is poisoned.
No doubt. I was just curious as to their excuse. Like Pennsylvania using covid to extend voting
The excuse was they ran out of ballots. The translation is that they ran out of real ballots and that didn't put their child molester candidate over the top, so they need to stuff some ballot boxes. I also just looked, and they didn't extend it past today, just another hour. There's still no excuse.
Ohio has long been a heavily mixed state (rural farmers, urban blacks, union labor, etc.) though it has trended strongly red in recent years.
Abortion restrictions are just not a winning election issue for Republicans. End of story. Conservatives spent 50 years hyping up their base with getting rid of Roe v. Wade. They won. Now their base went home, satisfied, and the majority of people who are in favor of legal abortion are being hyped up by the dems.
Shouldn't run a black man at all. Blacks cannot be allowed to rule over whites. Zimbabwe or Haiti are the result when that happens.
Daniel Cameron is absolutely terrible as a governor. He's got a mixed race child and ran entirely based off "Me and Trump are bro's trust me". As for the abortion thing, Moloch has a strong grip over the minds of women. The only way to stop abortion involves Molotov's and hitting the pharmaceutical companies that pay premiums for the murdered corpses of children.
For every single Moloch-minded baby mama who gets an abortion, there's another Moloch-minded semen donator who planted that seed.
Women fired up about abortion because it might possibly effect them? Selfish, yes. Surprising? Fuck no. I'm surprised so many people are surprised. It's also not much more selfish that than the dude who just wanted to get his dick wet.
True. Both aspects must be targeted to end this genocide against our kin.
The middle of public opinion is in the middle on abortion. As long as it doesn't look like a baby, they don't care. So I am unsurprised that when you return control of this to the people it nudges toward the center.
That sucks. I still thought KY had more sense than that. Then again you got the big Sirius which always ruin it. Texas has a lot of rural areas so that helps. You are right about abortion referendums
Cities shouldn't be allowed to vote.
That would be one way to fix things.
Non-land owners shouldn’t be allowed to vote (as it was at the nation’s founding). All of the urban apartment dwellers and Section 8 recipients would rightfully be SOL.
The narrower the loss the more resources the winner will devote next time.
You could say your one vote against them won't make them spend any appreciable amount more, but that's just democracy.
You vote starts at a tiny 1/population and only gets more valuable when others don't vote.
Daniel Cameron had strong ties to Mitch McConnel, and did nothing to distance himself from him. This is probably the thing that costed him the election, given just how hated Mitch is by the average republican electorate.
Texas passed the property tax exemption increase 83% to 16%. I assume that the 16% are bitter apartment dwellers.
And they just officially stole both houses in Virginia's legislature. Anyone still think Younkin is the future of the GOP? He's a lame duck who will happily turn over the keys to some kid fucker come 2026. The GOP has no future. We just barely stopped them from stealing an election in deep red Mississippi.
Losing Virginia sucks but you have to realize that the state is sadly blue. Democrats have won Virginia at the Presidential level since 2008.
Youngkin winning in 2021 required a lot of factors to align. Dems run a shit candidate, GOP ran a great candidate and the Dems lost.
Youngkin missed out on the trifecta today by one seat in the State Senate and one seat in the State House in a Biden +11 state.
Youngkin is a phenomenal politician that did the best he could in a blue state.
The GOP can absolutely learn how to message on key issues in swing states from Youngkin.
The House and the Senate in VA was lost because it is still a blue state that only goes red at the statewide level when the stars align and the Democrats run a bad candidate and the GOP runs a great candidate like Youngkin.
We didn't lose every race today because they were all rigged.
Cameron lost KY because he ran a mediocre campaign and likely because he was a Black man running in the South.
Reeves still won MS governor but it was close because Brandon Presley ran a good campaign where he pretended to be moderate.
PA Supreme Court was lost because Dems hammered us on abortion.
We clearly lost the Ohio referendum on abortion because the public sadly wants abortion to be legal.
There were some shady elections in 2020 and 2022 but tonight there was not a result where mail in ballots gave the Dems a win.
It is a copout to blame tonight's failures on rigged elections.
We lost so many races because the GOP position on abortion is hated by the electorate and the Dems weaponize it against us.
Additionally, we probably lost because people just didnt show up. I saw that in Ohio, the amount of Dem voters was largely the same as the 2020 election, but Rep voters were half of what they had been.
This "blaming everything on rigged elections" is starting to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, and people really need to stop or less this will keep happening.
Why is passing and enforcing election security laws to restore people's confidence in the system never an option? We don't have these problems in Florida and Texas.
I didn’t say it wasn’t. What I am saying is you shouldn’t allow the lack of such laws to keep you from voting. “But what if they cheat?!” Then that is one more vote they have to override.
That's fair, I personally vote in midterm and presidential elections even though I question what good it does. I tend to skip odd year elections, but my state doesn't have big off cycle stuff going on. I'm just sick of people neglecting the one thing that might save the GOP from extinction. Every year we bring a knife to a gun fight, and way too many people are convinced that we keep losing because we didn't train enough or we're picking the wrong knives.
Maga cultists gonna cultist. You can explain this until the sun burns out, they still won't believe you.
We'll believe you once we see evidence that "electable" non-MAGA candidates do any better than "Maga cultists". But they get slaughtered along with the MAGAs. And FFS not everyone who refuses to buy leftist lies about election integrity is some Trump cultist. I wanted to believe that candidate quality made a difference and I was a DeSantis supporter long before it was cool. Shit, I even voted for some RINO in the midterm primaries because I knew a Trump endorsement would be the kiss of death in my deep blue shithole. None of it mattered. The "electable" candidates got bent over the sink along with the MAGAs, and the same thing happened this year.
The problem is I don't have a year to get enough evidence to prove you wrong, but it's just about paying any amount of attention to literally anything.
We lost PA and az because of muh fraud and sucking off trump. Ks had issues because people bitched about abortion.
You know what wins? Crime and education, and not crying about fraud.
Yeah, nothing shady about extending the voting time in a city full of subhumans that vote pedo in exchange for gibs.
This argument would be more credible if these close calls didn't almost always go in the Dem's favor. The fact that Republicans pretty much never win when the margin is that close is suspicious as fuck.
This would be believable if we were only getting fucked on abortion referendums themselves. With Imp being right about women and a glut of simps lining up to cater to their every whim you're correct about the public's views on abortion. The problem is Republicans are getting slaughtered regardless of the political environment. It doesn't matter who the president is, what the economy is like, or how open the uniparty is about wanting to fuck your kids. The GOP gets fucked in the ass no matter what, then they beg for more unless their name is Donald Trump or Kari Lake.
I will say that there was election outcome affecting fraud in AZ, GA, WI, MI, PA in the 2020 Presidential election.
There was likely outcome affecting fraud in the AZ Gov election and AZ AG election in 2022.
In all of these elections the vote counters actually kept "finding" mail in ballots until the Dems won the race.
Today nothing like that happened. In which race today did they have the GOP candidate leading but the Dem still won after mail in ballots being dumped?
The outcomes of the races were known to us today on the night of the election. There was no midnight ballot dumps changing the outcome.
What happened today is clearly not fraud.
We lost many races today because the GOP's abortion stance is this vehemently hated by the degenerate electorate.
We cannot just say that every election we lose is stolen.
We must learn from our mistakes and change our messaging on abortion. We cannot win any swing race if our candidates get classified as restricting abortion.
We need to message better and not have our candidates painted as religious lunatics who want to control women's wombs.
This is what the electorate sadly thinks about many of our candidates.
True, but the pundit I listened to this morning was also blaming "messaging."
I hate to say it, it's not them messaging, abortion restriction are a loser almost everywhere. End of story.
If Republicans want to get control of the issue they need a clear policy at the state and national level (not national LAWS, but the agreement within the party). That's not going to happen. Repubs depend too much on religious absolutists on the abortion issue.
You do realize that abortion is the only thing keeping the population of “subhumans” (as you call them) in check, right?
I don't think that's the reason. Some Dems call Beshear one of their most talented politicians. It's unfortunate, because he's a groomer of the highest order.
