I don't make a lot of posts here, but I think there's something critical right now to acknowledge...we have to learn to take a loss, and learn from it.
There's this weird tendency to say, "oh, we didn't win the NYC/NJ governor's race because sometimes you have to show them".
What were seeing now is that younger people 18-30 voted disproportionately for Democrats in every single election this cycle. Not just the ones you followed.
The one big common theme was the economy, which we should own but aren't. Hiring is down for people entering the market, and affordability for housing or groceries (outside of eggs) is going the wrong way.
Don't ignore what people are trying to tell you. We have a whole year to change these facts. But please don't just ignore it out of pride.
I'll respond to u/BakasEverywhere as well and point out that voter ID doesn't magically stop voter fraud. Case in point, Texas, TO THIS DAY, is still catching voter fraud, and everyone knows there's more than they don't catch. Laws only matter if the people in charge enforce them. In corrupt areas (NYC, Houston for a Texas example, northern Virginia, pretty much the entire state of NJ, etc.) You can pass every law in the world, but if the person counting the votes is corrupt and has an agenda, then it doesn't matter now does it?
Listen, no one expected a red sweep. That would have been ridiculous in current conditions. From what I can tell most people were expecting Cuomo to win over the muslim, For Virginia to lose the governor seat given sears was a weak candidate, and at least one other state wide position, possibly all three, BUT win back or even out their state house with a 50/50 split (instead the liberals now have a super majority for the first time in decades), and the only real possible wins would have been the NJ governorship and the PA judge votes.
But now there's proof of massive AM ballot dumps in virginia to the tune of hundreds of thousands in VA (https://greatawakening.win/p/1ARK0TUbcB/oh-look-its-the-2020-fraud-tacti/c/), on top of everything I and everyone else pointed out about it being essentially impossible for EVERY county in the state of Virginia shifting high single or low double digits leftward, including counties that have shifted rightward in EVERY election, including off elections and midterms, for decades because they're appalachian coal country counties.
Pretending like voter fraud doesn't exist anymore is what's pissing people off. It's like people just forgot all of those charts and evidence from 2020 that most blue states probably are NOT actually blue and they just cheat in massive amounts to make them blue. Like I said in my original post. Has everyone just literally forgot all the stuff Kash and others did in 2020 that showed the massive cheating algorithms or all the evidence that california and new york went red before the cheating kicked into overdrive?
Why is it so hard for some people to accept there was cheating the other night? Literally nothing has changed as far as election security at the state level in most states, so of course the cheating hasn't stopped. And that's what's pissing people off. Not that we "didn't sweep", but because NOTHING has changed, and certain people are coming up with EVERY excuse under the sun to explain it away EXCEPT the obvious voter fraud.
