Nys election results suck

[Saltwater60]

I’m very disappointed in nys as a whole.
Hochul and James won. I’m think I’m more pissed off james won than hochul since I expected a hochul win.
looks like lots of other stuff went the democrats way in NYS as well. All SC judges by me went democrat, us house, nys house and nys assembly went democrat. The only biggish election that went Republican on my area was county clerk.
Nothing good for NYS and I don’t want to hear we just need more gun owners or more voter turnout out. We had record turnout so what more is there to do? IMO there’s nothing we can do and NYS is a sinking ship. The proposition passed so we’re fucked. Hochul says she will make NYS a more affordable by spending billions of dollars? I’m confused.

Last night was a very bad night all around the country. This was supposed to be an easy win for Republicans. How does John Fetterman win? There were so many races lost last night. But here’s my take. Look at how DeSantis won. Look at Glenn Youngkin. They are the future of the party. Polished Republican candidates who have good policy and don’t kow tow to Trump. All the Trump sycophants lost. Trump needs to move on with his oversized ego and stop dragging the party down. Now he’s trying to bully DeSantis out of the primary. Also abortion was a big issue. While I am opposed to abortion myself I knew the overturning of Roe would have this outcome. For many women it’s a single issue to vote on like guns are for us. There are more women in the population than men. Again the outcome is not surprising. If Republicans want to win future elections they better thank Trump for his past successes and move on to follow the lead to men like DeSantis and Youngkin. They also need consider a new position on abortion. Just my two cents

Yup, if the Repubs couldn't make headway with the current economic, criminal, Social upheaval and Whitehouse occupants...It's now a total Democrat Bastion...

 

[gunpoliticsny]

I'm not happy Hochul won. 6 months ago I wouldn't have thought we even had a chance. That's the real disappointment.

I know that only about half the eligible people vote and when they do it's for the party, Dems for Dem, Reps for Rep, with little thought behind it. Registered Dems make up 50% of voters, Reps 22% so I have reasonable expectations.

 

[Nighttrain]

I have not seen all the area’s that voted for Hochul, but I’m very happy to say that in my area Zeldin received a 3 to 1 vote as did the other Republicans,

You just can’t get away from all the “free“ things crowd.

Nice. Thanks for cheering me up.

This is the last confirmation anyone on this board needs when they think "we can save NY and vote our way out of this".

It.is.never.going.to.happen.period.

NY will never be saved. NY will never be ok. NY is a lost cause it will only get worse. The best a NY resident has now is to hope things only slowly get a little worse and that is BEST CASE SCENARIO. NY is a sinking ship.

You have 2 choices, BOHICA and bite the pillow or leave and go to a free state.

NY is unfixable.

Very good points. I'm glad Trump won in 2016, he made some good judge/justice appointments, but I think his curse is rubbing off on certain candidates (phrasing, oh well). And like you said he's already attacking DeSantis and will likely announce next week he's running in 2024.. we'll have another Fetterwoman-Oz situation on our hands. Why can't Trump just work behind the scenes and help the country that way?

As Rush Limbaugh used to say you'll never win an argument against Santa Claus.

Cause he’s an ego maniac. I voted twice for him. But now I’m sick of his bullshit.

My town did its job. The district I represent went 75% for Lee and 25% for beaver face devil pleaser.

My town is solid red: R won the local justice. R won the state senate. R won the state Assembly. R won the US Congress. R won the County Clerk (a big 2a supporter).

State wide stunk for sure. Lee did well all things considering. If our side would have showed up fully he would have won. People are too apathetic.




Just like the Bills Chiefs AFC championship game (yes I am a Buffalo Bills fan - since 1969) I did not watch much last night. Many good victories for the R's but some devastating defeats.

McConnell and McCarthy are total failures. I think that is what Saltwater60 was trying to say in the other thread. There are many good peopel in the R Party. MTG won big, DeSantis won big, JD Vance won which was big for Ohio.

But Hochul and Fetterman winning is a national disgrace. Katie Hobbs ahead of Kari Lake is a disgrace. Laureen Bobet is in trouble, that is a tough one to swallow for me.


WE NEED MEN TO RISE UP AND BE MEN! JD and Ron showed us the pattern forward. Never bend a knee, never apologize to the woke crowd, fight back tooth and nail, you hear that McConnell and McCarthy.


The good news is Lee Zeldin' s good fight may have saved the house in Washington.

Not being a dock but it didn’t do much good. That happened in many areas if you look at the results map.

The biggest local win for us was Kerns. That's huge and will have a direct impact on us.

 

[Hochulsucks1234]

Just kind of speeds up my departure plan. Hopefully the real estate market continues to crash and burn. I would love to score at least 5 acres of land somwhere in a free state for a decent price.

I think Republicans do stupid things. Like Trump makes fun of DeSantis the other night, WTF was that? They need to tought what they have done right and provide policy steps how they will correct what’s wrong. Zeldin said crime, crime, crime but had zero policy statements or steps on how he would solve crime other than get rid of bail reform. Then the sc getting rid of roe was stupid. They do stupid things that don’t resonate with real voters and independents. I heard little about the pandemic mishandling and that clearly helped DeSantis. I could go on and I hope you get my point.
Zeldin did do fairly good.

 

[FRB]

NY is unfixable.

NY State is VERY FIXABLE via NY City as 51st state.

 

[FRB]

In all honesty, the biggest winner in NY last night was UHAUL! (Well at least our senator can talk, is PA worse off then NY? Looks like it.)

Wont ever happen though.

That is true..... Sent a message too. Hartman lost her own hometown, no one likes a turncoat. Especially a drama queen one.

I am allowed to dream, no? Got to stay positive and have hope, that is how I am 63 and not a gray hair on my head. Hope reigns eternal.

Yes I looked, the regular areas with all the “free” as a way of life people, Buffalo, Rochester, etc. are always going to vote Blue, why wouldn’t they.

Huh? he has a plan.... spoke often of it....

Maybe one day the culture and way of life in NY can change. Just like what happened in Afghanistan.

Indeed brother indeed! But hope is what get's me through life..... the election adds to a tough week, friend of mine was murdered in Iraq Monday, US citizen murdered in Baghdad attack | CNN Politics Another good friend succumbed to Cancer on the same day.....

Hope is all I have as I am a NYer for life apparently.

You are but hope only goes so far and it fell short this time around. I’m glad you’re so positive and probably a good role you have since you are.
The only thing I’m positive about is NYS getting worse. I will have a serious talk with my wife soon about an exit plan on the next 5 years. I’m not saying I’ll leave NYS 100%, but I doubt I’ll be in the area I’m in now if they increase my taxes like I think they will.

I’m not sure where you found that becuase when I looked at his web site a month ago or so I didn’t find anything. I’m glad he had a plan and it makes me sadder that he lost then.
