Democrat Amy Acton is projected to flip the Ohio governor’s mansion, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ), after a controversial ad from Republican rival Vivek Ramaswamy roiled the closing days of the race.
Lol get fucked Ramaswamy
That ad not only destroyed his chances at a win, it destroyed ever Republican race in Ohio, and even had an impact on races outside of Ohio.
This was a Sociopathic Oligarch trying to buy a governorship, and he thought the voters were as depraved as he is. Instead, people all over America saw that ad, and it became the face of MAGA as a whole.
I just keep remembering him sitting there like a wanker while Ann Coulter tells him to his face that she would never vote for him because he is “a Indian.”
Smug fucker keeps being hated by his party while rushing to support the same fascism. I hope he keeps losing in life.
What ad was this? I missed it!
Edit - never mind, I found it. Wow, what a wanker.
To elaborate for anyone else, he had a bunch of sexual predators in his ads, but the one in question was his opponent’s mother who admonished her for everything in life.
Oh, btw, his opponent was sexually assaulted by a parent and the mother in question enabled it. He doubled down over and over that it was just politics and ended up spending millions on that particular campaign, even after the rest of the world was like “wait, rape is bad, right?”.
Vivek Kamikaze
Good, Vivek was my least favorite Republican candidate I can’t stand that smarmy ghoul
you seem to be forgetting Bobby. If he was still active I’m sure he would have done some dirty campaigning too.
Yay, OH does good again! They passed some good ballot initiatives, but then the maga politicians ignored the people, and they still picked maga mostly, until this round. Do it again in two years please, to show how serious you are about liberty and justice for all!
Oh, I feel so sorry for that awful hateful shitbag who lost the race!
He’s lost everything he’s ever entered. Too crazy for Trump’s administration is a red flag.
Too brown, more like it.
The fact 45% of the state still voted for that Ramasmarmy is disturbing.
It astounds me what the supposedly decent midwestern people will vote for. If you voted for this ghoul after that fucking ad, you are a piece of shit. He should have been lynched, that was a travesty.
Have you met people in Ohio?
I grew up there, left 25 years ago, and I’ve never been back, and haven’t missed it, at all. Ohio sucks.
Everyday, because I live here
Formative years spent in Kansas. Left when I saw an opportunity. Hope you get out and move to a better place.
That said, Kansas also voted better this time around. Doesn’t mean I wanna go back.
There are much worse places than Ohio, and it’s getting better. The constant hate and concern trolling is just so annoying at this point because it shows people have no idea what it’s actually like here.
Ohio is just like every other state. The cities are blue, the rural areas are red. The main difference is that both the rural and urban areas hold roughly equal political weight. Unfortunately the rural areas have been able to turn out more voters than the cities the past few elections. This one, the cities were able to turn out more. Obviously we hope that continues and things continue to improve here, but the hyperbole of treating Ohio like it’s some war-torn hellhole isn’t helpful.
My sympathies. As an escapee who is forced to return for regular family obligations I know your pain.
Everyone always underestimates the effect of disinformation and propaganda on an electorate that doesn’t have the time or energy to do research. They’re too busy being overworked and want to spend the little free time they have doing something they like, not more “work” figuring out politics. That’s why media companies that spoon feed opinions are so effective. People don’t have time to think about root causes.
My mother got a bunch of money in her divorce and doesn’t work. She’s busy caring for her multiple pets, but she has plenty of time. She watches fox and votes maga because she’s a bad person, not because she’s overworked.
Most of these people have the time to memorize 50 different celebrities and their backgrounds yet don’t even know who their senators are. We need to stop making excuses for them. Baseline political knowledge only takes about 2-3 minutes of your time per day, it isn’t that big of an ask.
Also a significant portion of GOP voters are just plain horrible people.
Nah. People who voted for that asshole are not misinformed. They are mentally ill immersed in a dissonant ideology of fear and hatred.
They’re radicalized
What’s the difference exactly?
One thinks Trump is secretly a good guy, the other revels in how evil Trump really is.
One is a sucker, the other a sadist.
Trump is crying on Truth Social right now, saying things would’ve gone great if he was on the ballot.
Sadly true.
He literally told them to vote like he was on the ballot.
Some thought he was on the ballot and confused when they couldn’t find him lol.
And they did.
NO NOT LIKE THAT
Vivek hissed and spat while receding into a shapeless void under a nearby rock, never to be seen again.
Damnit, he killed Tasha Yar! He deserves to pay!
I hope he isn’t to be seen again. He keeps trying and keeps losing.
That’s why I hope he sticks around. We need a good loser to hoot at and run against
Get fucked Ramaswamy.
He can now continue to pursue his interest as a hip-hop artist.
Cool, now we can shit on her for being a transphobe and no one will complain.
Yeah! Fuck that bigot!
Now what if the GOP had run a straight, white, christian man instead? I imagine a lot of GOP voters stayed home rather than vote for someone who wasn’t white, had a funny name, and is a pagan.
Vivek said he has “serious concerns” about the nation’s future 🤣
THE GOD TRIBUNAL CAN SUCK IT.
