This is what happens when you have all the momentum and instead turn your campaign into some celebrity campaign.

No one gives 2 ####s about Lopez and her fake ass. How is she speaking to women. They made it into elaborate concerts. Should have focused more on the rural ground game. You may not win it but you can try to take a piece of the votes. They all add up in the end.

I wrote a post on here about it, but there was a NYT commentator a month or so ago raising alarms that a large number of older Biden voters from 2020 would simply not vote for a woman and would flip back to Trump, especially in the swing states. Basically saying that Clinton's numbers would be replicated by Harris.

I had a horrible feeling when he said that.

Either Dems can accept it, or just cry about toxic masculinity and go back to losing.



Hey man, not wanting women to be raped and carry to term, or the legal age for marriage be set to 14 isn't toxic masculinity like Wisconsin wants to legalize again.


If you can't find a women, don't prey on 14 years olds and don't blame anyone because you think we should go back to a time where that was ok.. whats sick comment.

Just a brutal night for Democrats. Their only real hope in the event of a Trump win was holding on to at least one of the legislative bodies to counter him, but that doesn't look likely.

If Thomas, Alito, and Roberts cooperate, Trump may end up appointing 6 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices, creating a 6-3 conservative majority for probably the next 20 years. Plus whatever clowns (i.e. RFK Jr) he wants to put in his cabinet will likely get confirmed by the Senate without much trouble.

Like what? Yeah there's a lot of blue districts out there, but with the votes left she needs bigger margins than she's already won in those districts, by a lot. With 81% in she's down 230,000 votes with around 1,000,000 votes left. She needs to win every district now by 62% margins, and she isn't over that in anything left, and in some she's in the single digits. Would need a huge miracle.

This basically describes the Kamala campaign, while adding in a bit of war-hawking and and hanging with war criminals.

This is really what this is and always been about. It's never been about Trump being appealing (complete opposite), and that's the grave error that Democrats have made in this election to make it about Trump.

This is a colossal disaster. Democrats just lost to a felon who orchestrated Jan 6 and they are shellshocked in understanding how. They were so busy explaining how Trump was bad, they never bothered to check what Democrat policies may be polarizing to a majority of American voters. And before someone chimes in about how Democrats are for xxx (human rights) and yyy (democracy) and zzz (abortion rights) and aaa (climate change) and how Republicans are bigots, dumbasses, etc, all of those may be true, but you don't win elections based off ideology and claiming the moral high ground.

Trump and the Republicans by far and large seem to have captured the young vote (more so young male vote). Democrats completely ignored this demographic.

How much did the Biden / Harris administration being so staunchly pro-Israel hurt their chances when their base is majorly who are in the pro-Palestine camp?

The economy was a clear issue and may have been the key issue. Whether fairly or unfairly, Americans saw their woes as a result of the Biden administration that was not addressed.

NBC in absolute shambles. Harris may not even get the popular vote. Republicans win the senate, win the presidency and hold the house is now the likely outcome.

All because Democrats felt their farts smelled nicer and never bothered to step back and realize they still smell.

Well that's enough doom and gloom for me tonight. Gonna turn this train wreck off and throw a movie on instead.

At least the Flames won tonight, and Edmonton is still no good. Hopefully we'll all wake up tomorrow and Harris will have reclaimed the blue wall.

Looks like the house results are 169 for the Reps and 123 for the dems, sorry now 170 for the Reps.


So there will be no checks and balances on Trump which to me is frightening.
