"A year after promising viewers a “red tsunami” in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night," says The Daily Beast's Justin Baragona, adding: "While the network had spent the past two days hyping up Biden’s bad poll numbers to lay the ground for Republican victories on election night, a morose Hannity opened his 9 p.m. show by informing viewers that Fox News had already projected that Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear had defeated GOP candidate Daniel Cameron. A short time later, he was also tasked with announcing that the Ohio abortion rights measure had passed."

Where is this red wave that I keep hearing about? Maybe we will see one in the 2024 elections. 😂🌊

Ohio also voted to legalize recreational cannabis use. That's got to irk the Fox News crowd.

Pennsylvania added another Democrat to state supreme court, and swept other statewide judicial races which bodes well for maintaining election integrity next year.
In Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), we elected a very progressive County Executive who ran on the issues of affordable housing, support of unions and the environment. First woman leader for the county - and she's a babe https://www.wesa.fm/politics-government/2023-11-07/allegheny-county-executive-innamorato-rockey

The only loss on the progressive side here was for district attorney and the winner was the long time Democrat DA who lost the primary and ran on the Republican Ticket.

...And the "malfunctioning machines" in PA flipping/switching votes from (R) to (D).

[–] robocat893 (16251) a year ago

Of course you wouldn't have posted this if you don't have evidence of your claim. Maybe you forgot. Oh, X is not a reliable news source.

[–] Bossdog677 (1582) a year ago

You need to provide evidence that you are an actual human because I don't believe it.

[–] B1cKsurN (17826) a year ago

Yup, the most safest and secure elections ever! Never ever vote "Down Ticket" when dealing with these cheating machines.

Link, please.

Total Gov votes: 1,319,566

Total AG votes: 1,295,113

So now it's "fuckery" if 10% of repubs like the dem better?

RINOs

[–] robocat893 (16251) a year ago

Yeah... We all know that any Republican you don't like are RINOs. Anyone else you don't like are liberals with TDS. It must be uncomfortable for you to live such a narrow life. But then you are so stupid that you cannot post any evidence that the 2020 election was stolen as you continually claim.

[–] ultravioletx (10237) a year ago

Still not election "fuckery."

Who are the republicans running for office? What are they running on? The party is led by a gauche, boisterous egomaniac who speaks in sentences a 2 year old wouldn't find complicated. The rest of the party is a mess. No unity. As evil and corrupt as the democrats are, at least they're unified.

Trump Speaks At Fourth-Grade Level
It is estimated that Donald Trump only has a viable command of about 2300 words; roughly that of a fourth grader.
------
Trump also uses the fewest "unique words" (2,605) of any president
An analysis of the President's first 30,000 words uttered in office found Mr Trump speaks at a third- to seventh-grade reading level

gotta play to his audience though i guess

[–] B1cKsurN (17826) a year ago

You're his audience.

You TDS weirdos spend the majority of your life thinking, talking, and probably masturbating to that man.

What is that kind of life like? It sounds miserable...

[–] moviechatterer (16326) a year ago

We're not the ones buying the red hats , donating to his lawyer fees and travelling 100s of miles to his love-ins to suck him off.

[–] B1cKsurN (17826) a year ago

Buying a red hat is a single action...

thinking, talking, and probably masturbating to Trump 24/7 like the TDS sufferers is whole 'nother level of weirdo'ing.

[–] whynotwriteme (7815) a year ago

Well, Biden certainly uses unique words, I'll grant you that. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvA-Vf0MomM

...that lives in your head rent free, and makes your decisions for you... how's that working out?

[–] moviechatterer (16326) a year ago

dont you see how irrelevant and nonsensical your "Trump lives in your head" comments are ?

All you are doing there is basically agreeing that whatever infantile Trump behavior is being pointed out is stupid and laughable .

take this case for example
sandy says " gauche, boisterous egomaniac who speaks in sentences a 2 year old wouldn't find complicated"
and you say "Ha! he's in your head"
which translates as "Yes all that is true and I have no way to refute it so best i can do is 'he made you look' "

[–] B1cKsurN (17826) a year ago

Wow that was a lot of words to say "Trump lives in my head rent free".

[–] [deleted] a year ago

I hope everyone who's accused me of being a Trump supporter sees your comment. When will you partisan jackoffs learn I don't root for either of your idols?

(Frankly, you should know better. You've seen my comments in which I attack the left. Stop being dumb!)

[–] B1cKsurN (17826) a year ago

I'm not partisan at all. And what right do you have to point any fucking finger at me, Sister?

I'm a radical centrist, and an eco-fascist. You better not litter near me, I'll go Gary the No Trash Cougar on your littering ass.

Maybe these pollsters need to start polling some actual Democratic voters. The '22 midterm polls were absolutely laughable! I mean, remember those polls that showed Senator Murray (D-WA) and Sen. Welch (D-VT) neck and neck with their republican challengers....and both ended up winning easily by over 10 points? We ended Youngkin's political ambitions this week and won big in freakin' Kentucky! And now they want us to believe that although Democrats are winning nearly everything that somehow President Biden is extremely unpopular and is sure to lose to tRump? It's absolutely absurd. Fox News needs to stop lying to their viewers.
