WTF, Phoenix (Maricopa basically) pulls for Trump but not for Kari Lake??? WTF, over.
I'm sitting here at work, our 1 relief/day work medic is a recently retired devil doc.
He's just smiling.
Imagine some of those states that pushed for their electoral college votes to go for the popular vote winner, even of another candidate won the state. If those laws actually passed...They'd be shitting bricks right now. 
The Dems just tried to get rid of the filibuster not too long ago and they already lost the majority... FFS...

Also, if this
holds...holy crap, she was historically bad 
The election is that people voted (cackles) and the people voted because there was an election. Now, you didn't have to fill out a ballot to vote (cackles), but you voted and that is voting. For an election. If you're sad about the results, that makes you sad and sometimes global warming and the climate are Nazis, or are they, and we can't have Nazis in this country because this is a democracy and our dishwashers are yellow.
(Cackles)
And that's why you need to vote tomorrow. For the children.

Wow, I did not see that coming. Some of the more liberal voices I follow on Twitter are now leaning into the narrative that “America just proves it’s not ready for a female Black president,” and I have to admit, I find that a bit disappointing. In my view, the problem isn’t that America wasn’t ready for a female Black president, but rather that it wasn’t ready for that specific candidate.
I vividly remember the conversations after Biden stepped down, about who should be the nominee and why many felt she shouldn’t be. Yet, a week later, she was the choice. There was no real discussion, no debate, no vote—just an announcement. I’ve always believed that Biden only agreed to step down with the condition that she would be the nominee. The DNC has itself to blame for this; she never should have been chosen as VP in the first place.

That whole allowing the DoD to get involved during civil unrest might come back to bite them in the ass come Inauguration Day. Be very careful what any radicals wish for, just saying.

I don't think that they have the mental comprehension to understand fully that it's nothing to do with being female or black. It has everything to do with whom it is and not the gender.
I am very disappointed in these people who refuse to acknowledge that it's never been a race or gender thing. It's the PERSON and not their bodily make and model. That's on them for the lack of critical thinking.
Waiting for data, but I wouldn't be suprised if that played a factor.
I think there are segments of the independent voter population and older Dem populations that will not vote for a woman presidential candidate.
I also think she was a bad candidate who ran a bad campaign.
While Race/gender might be a factor, saying she lost because of that is like saying Trump lost my state because of RFK jr; sure it's some points, but it doesn't change the gap.
