Progressive judges win big, even in red states

In states where judges are elected, progressives did well, mostly on the abortion issue. A lot of this was also due to "bullet voters" - people who voted for Trump but left the rest of their ballot blank.

Also, as the final votes are counted, Harris now has more votes than Trump nationwide. So much for the "mandate."

I am not going to debate. You and I have debated enough. Just Don’t be surprised when there are some new “mandates “ with possible restrictions coming with the abortion laws. They won’t happen tomorrow or next week and they won’t stop a woman from getting an abortion. That’s not their intention, but they are coming.

@missyann immigrants, naturalized citizens, LGBT people. You're not one of them, but just like Pastor Niemoller said, when they come for you, there will be no one left to speak for you.

@basilfawlty89 I’m certain that’s not gonna happen, but if it does, I am saving money, so I’ll be OK

@missyann so basically what you're saying is you're fine with concentration camps for kids as long as they're brown and you save a few bucks. Got it.

No she doesn't. As of yesterday, Trump is still more than 2 million votes ahead in the popular vote.

@missyann I did not want Trump to win. I still think he will be a complete catastrophe for both America and the world. But it is what it is; I have accepted it and moved on.

Trump won the swing states and more voters voted for him than Harris. It was a significant win, and this was evident early in vote counting on November 5th. What you describe are very small victories, victories only someone desperate would cling to. One of them, the vote recounts for North Carolina's Supreme Court, is still only a potential victory. They may as well not exist.

@emiliya Small victories they may be but small victories by the democrats make it much harder for El Guapo and his cult to have free reign on the hill.

So again he loses the popular vote? GOOD

"Progressive" Judges. Lol. What a joke.

Yeah, the law's on your side. See how far that gets you.

Pretty sure they own the Super-Dooper Magical Supreme Highest Court in the Land, Leopold.

Game Over. Wrap it up and stop coping. It's sad.
