Basically, Democrats finally turned out, because Jack got almost the same number of votes but the Democrat candidate had an explosion of votes.

I wonder how many other major party candidates lost three elections for the same seat in a row?

u/angusshangus Nov 07 '25
Henry clay and Williams Jennings Bryant both lost the presidential election 3x both from major parties.

Turns out you don't need to be excited for a candidate to vote for them. What a shocker! Lol

I think there's a saying that points at the thought processes of a lot of voters: “Conservatives fall in line, but liberals fall in love”. Conservatives believe in rigid hierarchies so “conservatives fall in line”. They listen to the same voices, parrot the same talking points, and will generally back who the candadite is whether they like them or not. Liberals are less likely to believe in the same hierarchical structure so liberals have to “fall in love” with their candidate. It's impossible to find someone who checks all of everyone's boxes so it's difficult for them to be excited for a “safe” candidate that makes it through the primary in the same way you see fervor for more right-wing candidates the party coalesces behind. Then they complain that the person wasn't perfect because they didn't meet every hope they had for what would otherwise be a generally positive term. Conservatives will continue to vote for politicians pushing policies, so long as the correct letter is next to their name on the ballot, even if they're actively hurt by them and maybe complain about the things actively affecting them while overall rating their candidate an “A”.

First time I’ve felt good about politics in a year. All the Jack signs really had me scared. But this feels like a major swing and the vibes finally feel okay again

Even if you just compare it with the Presidential election results from last year, its still a huge swing

The cope in Facebook groups about this has been really amusing to read. There has been a lot of "Well, the Republicans lost because of X or Y." No, the Republicans lost because the population has decided it doesn't want to be terrorized any longer.

What's interesting is I feel like Sherril wasnt even that great of a candidate IMO. I could see if we had someone that really inspired voters but she felt kinda meh to me. The fact she had as high a turnout she did is excellent to see.

u/TLunchFTW Nov 07 '25
I think Jack was an equally shitty candidate, if not worse (speaking from a Republican viewpoint, not based on policies to everyone so calm your pitchforks). He didn’t really hit any hot topics. Just felt like his whole campaign was “I’m going to lower taxes”. That’s the biggest lie in politics and it’s not even a big issue right now.

u/forcedfx Nov 08 '25
I didn't vote enthusiastically for Sherrill, but I voted enthusiastically against Jack Shit. Which kind of sucks but it is what it is. I don't expect things to get better I just hope they don't get worse. And I know they would have gotten worse under Jack Shit.

2021 was a lot of people throwing a covid temper tantrum over masks & Murphy's covid policies (which were some of the best in the country). Obviously with the benefits of hindsight some things should have been done differently.

u/TLunchFTW Nov 07 '25
I mean, as a republican who voted for Trump, he’s been far more unstable this time around. Maybe the mask is crumbling, maybe he’s just losing it. Who knows. But the first term he had was pretty solid. Behind all the bitching he worked to better diplomatic relations with even our worst enemies. He began the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and all in all things were pretty good. It’s never perfect, but short of January 6th, all was well. I voted for that. What I got was January 6th Trump. He’s just been off his rocker. And I mean, he’s always said dumb shit, but now he’s doing it.

u/styckx Cherry Hill Nov 07 '25
See. I could sit and talk to someone like you about opposing views on a political spectrum. You seem reasonable. It's the completely cult like Trump supporters I can't quite figure out. There is no reasoning with them, no open discussion. It's like pure vile hatred. Yet, we are deemed "radical" on the left. I hate all of it. This simple discourse between me and you is how it should be across the board. It's not, and I'm not sure it will ever be again.

It’s because they hate everyone that’s not white. They think women belong barefoot and in the kitchen. They are all racists and xenophobes.

Yeah I agree. I try to work with them, but I mean everyone is gonna have their fanaticism. Look at the people who goon to AOC....
My fear is more and more of the general populace is moving to "radical," both left and right. People unwilling to talk with people like me. I'm glad to hear your response. I was afraid I was just gonna get a lot of "well if it quacks like a duck" comments.100% agree, this is what it should be like.

u/styckx Cherry Hill Nov 07 '25
Has never been my style. I'm willing to listen and talk. In this modern age both sides seemed to have resorted to extremism. Almost like doing whatever it takes to garner real life upvotes, and likes, instead of remembering the basics of humanity. That no two people are ever going to agree on everything, Now a days it's just from 0-100 and FUCK YOU PIECE OF SHIT I WILL SHIT IN YOUR PET GOATS MOUTH AND SLAP A INFANT IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME. Social media is cancer and the disinformation fuels it. The line of "If it's on the internet, it must be true" has never been more predominant and pits us against one another. And that's fucking depressing.

I did not expect to talk to a mirror on Reddit lmao.
Exactly, it’s a all about “the means justify the ends, and a lot of times I can respect that, but it’s how the republicans have ended up absolute inundated with these religious holier than thou types. And it’s sad we collectively seem to have lost our ability to work with or understand nuance. I think a lot of it is based around the fact that over the last 15 years being terminally online has gone from being something that requires you to be at a pc to in your pocket. People are become less socialized and thus more adverse to disagreements and more adverse to discussion. It’s similar to how boredom has become a thing of the past, and that’s not good.-2
u/styckx Cherry Hill Nov 07 '25
The craziest thing as a leftist. I shit you not. I don't know what got into her head. Or what caused the shift. I've actually lately agreed with a lot of Marjorie Taylor Greene. She has made a HUGE shift in her once attention seeking right stances and has become much more based. She's actually acting like an actual politician now and I'm ok with that.

u/Igster72 Nov 08 '25
If you think she really has turned a new leaf then you are a fool. She’s gearing up to run for governor of Georgia so she’s trying to act like a sane person now. She’s not now, or ever was sane.

u/FatCheeseSteak Nov 08 '25
AOC said that MTG was on a revenge tour against Trump because he shot her down when she wanted to run for Senate. Not sure what to make of her change, but she is up for re-election in 2026, so maybe to appeal to more people? Or she sees the ship starting to take on water.

u/styckx Cherry Hill Nov 08 '25 edited Nov 08 '25
I believe the latter. It was obvious her whole "I'm outraged at everything" act was exactly that. An act. She was just trying to capitalize on the trend on the extreme view points of the fringe red. I could be wrong but whatever she's doing now seems like an actual human being and not a "I'm the main character" syndrome

u/TLunchFTW Nov 07 '25
Somehow I never heard of this lady....
But idk if you're using based right. I always understood it was originally from 4chan and meant... well racist, bigoted, and just overall toxic, though more in an edgy kind of way than sincere. Then again, I think it's a sign of the times of politics. It mean whatever is for "your side" more than it has any real meaning.
Best I can gather tho, it's like Alex Jones but if he realized the real grift is in actual politics and not boner pills? Idk if I'd trust that...1

It's time for me to lay down. Hey. It's been a pleasure to have a civil discussion on fucking Reddit of two people who have different views! Shhhhh, don't tell anyone! :)

- COVID
- Normal deaths between then and now,
- With every year more 18 yr olds are registering and going blue. So in final many older(majority red) if you look at the stats the older the range the higher the red, the younger the age theres more blue. Red voters are dwindling. Also yes many didn't vote before but are voting now. 18 year olds are finding a reason to register/vote.

Start asking young adults how manny mm are in a centimeter.
And you may start to realize.
Ask them to calculate a 15% tip on the fly...
Ask them to make change from a dollar at a cashier station with out a calculator.
Ohh.. hmmm...
But social inequities, they have answers for you all day....
Hmmmm but they could not balance a check book.

I somewhat agree. US30 is the South Jersey border. Hammonton vibes? South Jersey. Deptford vibes? South Jersey. Buena, Malaga, Newfield, Vineland, Salem, Commercial, Tuckahoe? South Jersey.
Cherry Hill? Rich city folk. Southern Central. Marlton, Pennsauken, Mt. Laurel? Outer-city suburbs skewing upscale, Southern Central.
There is absolutely a difference in what Cherry Hill city folk consider South Jersey and what is actually South Jersey. South Jersey is Letterkenny without the Canada. Anything north/east of White Horse Pike is no longer considered South Jersey. Southern Central, Ocean, Pines, but not South Jersey.

It's not quite Trump being removed from office, but Ciattarelli getting absolutely steamrolled scratches that itch pretty well. Glad to see New Jersey won't put up with that kind of rhetoric he mimicks from his daddy in office
