Nys election results suck

[2WheelGnnr]

its that damn city....cut off the tail...my god we carry them and they control our "representatives"....

the city wants all the dems handouts and what can I gets.......

 

[Phazer]

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.

What I learned:

People vote for their tribe. Period.

People may give lip service to issues like inflation, crime, and energy prices. No matter how bad things get, even if their guys caused the problems, voters line up behind "their people."

All you can really do is move to a place where "your people" run things.

National polarization is now intractable.

Hows that "STAY AND FIGHT" bullshit working out for you guys

 

[2WheelGnnr]

this one really tells me there is no hope..NY is Lost... I was holding out hope for this one....but your right....they just keep voting for their people........the western state all red and the east all blue...it wont every change...glad im out in a couple years....GOD. too bad. Other than that I didnt mind it here.....

Well, can't say I'm surprised. I thought a few more races across the country would go red, but didn't think we had much of a chance in NY. As for me, I think I'm going to pull back, keep to myself more, not go out anymore. I'll adapt even more of an "I don't give a f*ck" attitude. I'm not gong to pay attention to any of it anymore. I'm done with Trump and all of the other republican idiots. They all need to go. I'm done wasting my time with voting. It doesn't matter. It never did. I hope crime rages. Thats what these people deserve. Let the state burn. I don't care. I'll be sitting at home.

Political migration is real.

Red areas will get redder.

As those red voters leave blue states the blue states they left will get bluer.

It's not a coincidence that NY elected a bunch of leftwing nuts. NY lost like 2% of it's population in the last 4 years moving away to red states. Who do you think left? I bet 80% of the people who moved out were red voters. Every year NY will have a smaller % of red voters available.

this is not directed at YOU, specifically, but the general attitude in the country

this is called VOTER APATHY and everyone in the country. NO LONGER HAS ANY FAITH IN THE SYSTEM

If this continues into 2024, the country is truly fucked

Trump is poison. The Republican Party needs to move on without him if they want to succeed.

 

[Glock_USA]

and that is why we are in the mess we are in......

It's over. If you want to stay on the ride that's up to you. I'm getting off.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Been scanning the home pages of local funeral homes this morning. Just wanting to find out when the service and burial for NYS is. Thinking of signing the tribute wall if I can find one. Not planting a tree though.

The entire party has to be blown up or they will not win again. All of these old dinosaurs. Gone. Voting will shift more and more to mail in and probably via smartphone in the future, and there is only one party who that is going to help and even make it easier to cheat. Democrats will continue to dominate more and more of the races.

I hear you, it is tempting to do as you are. BUT Lee got 47% of the vote in deep blue NY. Giving up is EXCALTY what the blue wants. They will not give up. If our side showed up we would have won. Too many did what you are about to do.

I physically cut the word QUIT out of the dictionary I have on my book shelve. I am not a quitter, never was and never will be.

 

[Vapor]

I'm ready to move on from Trump. He was never anything but the lesser of two evils to me.


I think Florida showed us who needs to be front runner bar none.

I will always be grateful for what Trump accomplished. He was the right person for the job when he was. The torch needs to be passed quickly. Too many people vote with their emotions instead of their head.

You know what is going to happen to DeSantis in the WH? The same thing that happened to Trump. He would serve people best staying in FL.

If he goes to Whitehouse he will get nothing done and FL will go to shit. If he stays in FL he continues he to be a beacon for conservatives and a thorn in the dems side, inspiring people like Lake.

Trump is poison. The Republican Party needs to move on without him if they want to succeed.

I have been thinking about this all morning. As much as I liked the direction the county was going fiscally under Trump I believe he must go away now. I believe too many people are still voting against Trump and not FOR Republicans. I don't know how much impact we saw in ny but I'm sure there was some.

Like many on here I have no hope left for NY. I didn't have much prior to today. We've talked about leaving and will probably make that a more serious priority. Politics are only a part of leaving for sure. I hate to leave my job, my friends, the wonderful lakes of upstate ny and the nature of the north country. I hate the winter and FUKH and any Democrat that will ultimately follow her. The SCOTUS can only give us hollow victory followed by more, worse laws.

Stick a fork in ny, it's done.

absolutely true,

Why would anyone in their right mind have expected James to lose? D's outnumber R's in NY by more than 2-1. Most voters eyes glaze over downballot and don't know what an attorney general is, so they are going to default to party line. She was safer than Schumer and got basically the same numbers. The fact that she got slightly less than Schumer can be easily chalked up to weaker Jewish support. Nobody statewide had a snowball's chance other than Zeldin, and Zeldin was overrated and not a great candidate. In the end the numbers he got were an indictment against Hochul but they change nothing.

Trumps comment last night "Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all."

please go away Trump.

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

I used to think this also, now I'm not sure.
I'd have to look up populations. NYC is always hurting the rest of the state, but Buffalo and Rochester also fuck this up every election. Is there enough red voting population outside them two cities? I would think so. If it wasn't for those two city's these elections would be alot closer.

Some day that may be me but for now I'm staying in my home where my roots and family are. I'll keep rendering unto Caesar but I'm not going to let Caesar drive me from my blood and soil. New York is bad but this is not Rome. Though Christians are driven from public office and employment, my church is still open and the state is not been burning Christians as torches. People are leaving upstate, well, more room in the woods for me. I'm not leaving. I've got my lifetime hunting license and guess what my AR-10 build in .308 is still legal for deer here with a -5 mag insert afield unlike in PA or the midwest so there's that! And I ain't letting Hochul+James's stormtroopers in my house without a warrant and I'm not giving them any reasons for one either.

 

[maverick52]

Lawler just declared the victor in district 17 (my district). I’m happy for that.

 

[SonOfSun]

I’m very disappointed in nys as a whole. .......
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?

Not run Trump suck ups?

I'm 99% certain that if the nominee for governor wasn't Zeldin (election denier, pro-Trump, etc.) and they ran a centrist R instead, then Hochul would have lost. Here is the reality: this state has way more democrats than republicans, so for the R's win you need a bunch of democrats to vote across party lines. Look at the results, as-is Zeldin only lost by ~300K votes , which is about 6%. In reality that is a 3% loss as a flipped vote counts "double". That's with Zeldin being who he is by the way... Hochul was *VERY* beatable, yet the R's bungled their nomination. I personally know several Dems that really dislike Hochul, want her gone, and were open to the idea of someone else besides her for gov. Yet, they couldn't get over Zeldin's election denial, etc.

Want to see a R governor in NY? Then pick candidates that can pull cross party votes, not conservative ideologues. That means you might have to compromise on some things. Don't want to make those compromises? Fine, then enjoy Hochul and crew instead. Sometimes it's about damage reduction, not perfection.

It’s more than the city because I’m the fattest you can get from the city and everything went democrat expect the county clerk.

 

[Waffles!]

NY state is a lost cause, and now NYC is headed even faster toward a scenario similar to that in the movie "Escape from NY". I can only imagine what 4 more years under Heil Hochul will do. NY is a shithole, and a lost cause. GTFO when you can.

Your planet on which Zeldin is a "conservative ideologue" who is too far right is why our country is careening into the ditch. That's the strategy of Republicans chasing the Democrat platform of 15 minutes ago. A grand old party of hormone-blocked nonbinary-kid-raising, abortion celebrating, LGBTQIAAP+-affirming, reasonable gun controlling, God-hating corporate tax cutters.
