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.
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.
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.
