  Because the Democrat ran against a guy who called himself a black Nazi and said he wished slavery was legal so he could own slaves. And said so on porn sites. And that was the printable stuff. A lot of it involved weird sexual shit and fantasies about his wife’s sister.

  The real question is how he still got 40% of the vote.

    I truly believe the only reason he didn’t get elected is that he did all that weird shit while being a Black man.

      As I said to my Mom earlier today: White nazis? That’s no problem for them. Black nazis? That’s where they draw the line.

  It wasn’t just Governor though, also Lt Gov flipped blue, AG stayed blue, and we flipped enough state seats to blue to break a super majority even with the gerrymandering, and state level Superintendent for Education went blue…

  Because Harris ran a pretty shitty campaign - unfortunately Harris ended up underperforming a lot of democratic candidates downballot. In Florida she even managed to underperform the abortion ammendment by 15%.

  If the governor has done well by them, why get rid of them?

  If the last for years were worse than the four years prior, why would you vote for the last four years again?

    Our current governor, Roy Cooper, is term limited and he couldn’t run again. So the current state AG Josh Stein ran (and won)

    His opponent (our current Lt Gov) was a man who is um …interesting. And made national news for um …interesting things he posted on a porn site. Among other things.

  A lot of people really don’t want to accept that bipartisanship doesn’t exist for big issues.
