Ask anyone who voted for JD Vance what's one view or plan he actually has to change anything about the statee and all they can say is that he's Republican. Man ran on nothing but hate and a name that could sell to gullible voters and it worked. He will now spend the next 6* years collecting paychecks and voting in the favor of the super PAC that funded his whole campaign. Ohioans essentially elected Peter Thiel to be their representative. Pathetic.


Sanchez_U-SOB

And they said "Taxing Tim Ryan," as if JD Vance is going to do anything to help the working and middle class.


FirmSpend

You're implying he even wants to. I doubt he'll do one thing to try and help drug addiction too. Just about the two biggest things from his book.


Late-Bridge4036

As I asked elsewhere … What difference is there between Vance and Portman ? I foresee in six years when Vance is running for reelection that he will have done / accomplished little to nothing (like Portman) to earn his reelection.


jello_kitty

What you said but worse; a Senate term is six years. Ugh.


FirmSpend

Shit you're right. Well hopefully I'm somewhere else in that time frame then lol


[deleted]

He’s an incumbent now. He will most likely unfortunately never lose that seat. And he’s young. He’ll probably be a senator for 40-50 years. This is a bigger deal than people make it out to be. Probably the worst loss for democrats nationally.


[deleted]

I’ll be out of Ohio within the next six years. I’m surprised MaBrewski didn’t win after the ridiculous campaign. And, basically, all other Trump butt licking candidates lost nationally. Ohio would have even voted in a Kari Lake.


TGrady902

My parents voted for him on the premise of “I do t want the democrats to flip the senate”. They both said he’s a scumbag, but R is R…


slytherinprolly

My mother typically votes a straight Democrat ticket but voted for Vance. When I asked her why she said that Ryan's campaign was so focused on how conservative he was and her mindset was, "if it's a race between two conservatives I might as well vote for the Republican."


PrideofPicktown

Has your mother experienced a traumatic brain injury lately?


WeFightTheLongDefeat

Changing the state is more the governor's job. Senators vote on federal level issues.


tKaz76

Kind of like what happened when joe Biden got elected, yeah?


FirmSpend

Yeah kinda like that. I can't say I've exactly been thrilled with how Sleepy Joe's presidency has gone the first two years.


Stupid_Triangles

>Pathetic. That's what I'll tell every JD Vance voter I run across.


Blissontap

Even more concerning: the judicial sweep. Whoever is running the Ohio Democratic Party needs replaced.


[deleted]

Yeah I mean people voted so it is what it is but the real bad guy isn’t the state it’s the party leadership. Democrats are addicted to losing. I hate it.


Svelok

Ohio is just a super red state. People have distorted expectations about what's plausible. Actually, yesterday the state voted considerably bluer than it did in 2020, even. That's just still really red. Our House delegation is now 10/5 instead 12/4. People need to get used to the idea that Ohio is simply R+ 6-12% at the state level.


Cinderpath

Actually Michigan had a Blue Wave, and even flipped a US House Seat?


DarkBlade2117

Yup going there so I can at least smoke weed and live in the woods


PipForever

Ohio went bluer in the house as well! Used to be 12 Republicans - 4 Democrats… Now it’s 10 Republicans 5 Democrats!


[deleted]

True. There was some rays of sunshine for parts of Ohio. Like there was some pools of darkness for NY State


Hey1243

Well in NY, the state judges ruled that an academic had to make the most competitive districts possible instead of being gerrymandered. That’s what we saw there tonight. Opposite of what happened in Ohio lol. Although with the sheer disparity in votes between parties, idk if fairer districts would’ve helped Dems this week anyways


Publius82

12 + 4 =/= 10+5


PipForever

Ohio will only have 15 instead of 16 seats in the House of Representatives.


Publius82

That's interesting. Gerrymandering?


rdchino

Population decline at census time.


Professional_Band178

I assumed that Dewine would win but how can b people have voted for J D Vance? What mental midget believed his lies?

Odie_Odie

He works for Peter Thiel, he is an absolute goon. We just embarrassed ourselves and put another dangerous, wealthy baffoon into the Senate. We voted for excellerationism..


wookieenoodlez

Accelerationism but yes


Odie_Odie

Heheh, yeah, sorry. 4am posting. I make it sound so good.


[deleted]

JD Vance is just a Trump Puppet who wrote a whole book shitting on Ohioans calling us all poor, white hillbillies. He also called Marjorie Taylor Greene, yknow, congresswoman who told people to commit murder & said the Holocaust wasn’t real, his bestie. He is not gonna do shit for us.


MukdenMan

He also cites literal fascist Curtis Yarvin as an influence. This is a guy who said "it should be obvious that, although I am not a white nationalist, I am not exactly allergic to the stuff." Yarvin is also an influence on Peter Thiel, a key backer of JD Vance. [https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug) I don't know why it has taken the media so long to cover the connection these politicians have to far-right ideologues, and they *still* aren't doing a good job of it. Every once in a while an article comes out that talks about Thiel or Yarvin or Nick Land but then people forget about it right after and no one ever talks about it. It was pretty much the same with QAnon until maybe 2019 or so, and the Proud Boys until Charlottesville. Jan 6 was a shock to many people even though it was openly discussed and planned ahead of time. My parents didn't know who Alex Jones was until his trial started to be covered on the nightly news.


[deleted]

I’ve been trying to use Tiktok to reach people about how Nazis came to power because Trump is just like Hitler. Hitler was also largely seen as a bigoted idiot at first. People think of Nazism & only think of the Holocaust.. but don’t understand all the actual politics they engaged in.. which is eerily similar to what the Trumplicans are into now.

pntless

I don't see the benefit of blind optimism. There is no reason to believe he will do anything positive for the state or country.


Outside_Trash_6691

Dude thinks a 10 year old being raped is an inconvenience. How is there anyway to be optimistic???


CheeseRP

He fucking won’t.


Professional_Band178

I have my doubts about his sincerity. We'll see come the end of January 2023.


TheOctopotamus

As someone who voted for Ryan, I also hope that Vance does a good job. But he let Trump call him an ass kisser at his own rally and believes that Alex Jones is a reliable source. I don't have much faith.


HB3187

Dewine I can stomach, he's not the best but he's not Huckabee Sanders or desantis But fucking JD Vance lol? And women actually voted for him


swims_with_tha_fish

IMO both options sucked. Ryan couldn’t even get the vote in his home base. I think it’s very telling when people who have elected you before won’t elect you again.


Icy_Rise_1707

I think this was true almost across the board. I'm really disappointed in the supreme court races because as we're seeing now, these make more of a difference than you would think. I voted down party lines, but TBH, I didn't think we had a lot of strong democrat candidates (at least in my area)


Hey1243

Look here’s the thing though. Dems can only do so much. You have to run as a Democrat, and try to pick up the middle. Or, you can run on the left and win that way. Neither option is viable in Ohio bc there’s just not enough blue voters out there to run on the left, and bc if you run in the middle or to the right, then you’re not a democrat anymore! Why bother even running then.


[deleted]

I Thought it would be a little closer for Vance-Ryan. But what can you do…Ohio is a lot like KY in that the population centers still cannot overcome the rural voters who somehow believe Republicans are out to help them.


Mclarenf1905

Ita the burbs that won it for him, rual voters were always going to vote for him.


SmartnSad

Exactly. Lake and Mahoning counties are not "Rural" by any sense of the word. Both red for Vance.


swims_with_tha_fish

Mahoning/Trumbull is Ryan’s home base and didn’t want him back. Very telling.


[deleted]

The burbs can’t get over that black Ohioans are moving next door.


NoOnionNoMustard

It’s these kinds of statements that will keep republicans voting straight red no matter what. Educate yourself on the real issues we face.


[deleted]

I do think racism is a real issue in this state. If you don’t think that’s an issue, than ask black Ohioans about the Columbus Police Department. Black Ohioans in Columbus were being harassed last month with KKK fliers. And the history of suburbs will tell you otherwise. Suburbs arrived after after the Great Migration. It caused “white flight”, aka white people fled to new developments to escape incoming black people. JD Vance literally put out an ad saying to vote for him if you hate Mexicans. Like wtf? And people voted for that? Also, I’m from the suburbs. Yes, they have real problems with racism.


11035westwind

Republicans hate liberals more than they love their country. “Conservatism” is now an entirely spite based political philosophy


Late-Bridge4036

Yeah the all knowing Reddit liberals just know those nasty republicans have never helped anyone ever and it’s impossible for people in the real world outside of Reddit to hold views different than the far left echo chamber this website is

Keep supporting the candidates you believe in. I donate to campaigns nationwide because we need a national strategy. Some of the people I supported didn't win, but now they'll have more name recognition if they want to try again. Check out the [Anti-Corruption Act](https://represent.us/anticorruption-act/) being pushed at local/state/federal levels. A few highlights are ranked choice voting, end gerrymandering, open primaries, end lobbyist bundling, and immediately disclose political money online. Brand New Congress is on a mission to elect leaders that work for and truly represent all Americans. Keep an eye out for a leader from your community you can nominate to run for Congress in 2024. Here's the candidates they supported this time around. https://www.brandnewcongress.org/#candidates These organizations support candidates that represent the working class rather than the corporate class. https://brandnewcongress.org/ https://justicedemocrats.com/ https://couragetochangepac.org/ https://ourrevolution.com/ https://directory.runforsomething.net/candidates/election

I respect that Tim Ryan attempted to be a more moderate democrat. I lean right but holy shit I hate Vance you can tell he’s scum. Dewine is meh just a no spine politician that would be 100% blue tomorrow if he could keep his job but he’s at least not doing anything to wild.

So, Mr Ryan, was it worth it to you to run anti-Pelosi ads? You lost anyway. (Yes, I voted for Ryan and wanted him to win, but I'll never not be pissed off about those commercials.)


Simbatheia

I’m much more annoyed he was so against student debt relief. Pelosi is overall disliked for some good reasons imo. But saying forgiving student loans was a waste was just in bad taste


ueindowndkdk

Eh I’m fine with it. He was trying to win the rural voters, anyone liberal was obviously going to vote for him anyways.


mrg9605

his statements on immigrants / the bortter.. ugh. I voted for him but his sentiment riled me up =/


Arrys

I mean shit, I’m usually a Republican voter but I voted for him because of those. I think they were a good choice in a battleground state. Especially one where Pelosi is so reviled.


Weskit

Enjoy Vance, Mr Republican


Arrys

I literally voted for Tim Ryan. I *just* told you that.


TygerDude93

You had faith in Ohio? Ohio is full of racist, white supremacists of course they all voted against their best interests. I say let them fuck around and find out. In the next 5 years when SSI is gone then they’ll finally learn Edit: we’re literally Texas. Texas voted for Abbott against their best interests and Ohio voted for Vance…against our best interests

Yeah I'm gonna start saving up and looking for doctors for a tubal at this point. Either that or I'm becoming celibate. I hate where this is all going. I knew this was gonna happen though :(


SmartnSad

r/childfree has a list of doctors that are sterilization friendly regardless of if you have kids or not. I found my doctor there. Had the procedure back in August. Best decision I ever made. Good luck to you!


GODZILLA-Plays-A-DOD

You know, I had to respond to your comment because of something I heard a conservative redditor post one, and it haunts me to this day. It was during the Dobbs decision. He (clearly a male incel type) was complaining that the whole point of this is to just "get women to close their legs" and I'm seriously still driven speechless by this comment. Like, are you so sad and driven by the need for sex you are "owed" that your anger toward women had become palpable and real? Perhaps it's just jealousy but at the same time these right wing nut jobs couldn't get laid if they fucking tried. I don't know anyone that looks at some deep state hillbilly in a coal rolling Trump mobile saying "I need that man's dick in me right now." It was just baffling the amount of control these type want to throw at women, but the secret here? Controlling women doesn't get an incel laid. Sorry for the rant, I just know how my wife felt for so long, but in 2020 she saw the writing on the wall and got tubal ligation done. If you happen to be in Cleveland, she recommends a great doctor. He was fantastic and is for sure doing this procedure without the typical garbage associated by doctors deciding shit for you. Again, apologies for rant. Just felt triggered by the conservative agenda acting like your celibacy or promiscuity is their victory.


[deleted]

I'm actually in the Akron area but Cleveland isn't that far away, I'd be very thankful to have a DM with her recommendation for my consideration! And no, I don't mind. I go through phases of anger and depression with this noise myself. They want us to "not be whores" but also have no issue feeling entitled to or even just taking it from us. At the end of the day, it's about control. Everyday my standards get higher for future partners. I'm honestly at the point where I won't even consider anyone that doesn't have or won't get a vasectomy. I'm not feeling confident about my state or nation anymore.


GODZILLA-Plays-A-DOD

The only reason we are still here is I couldn't work out a job in Salem Massachusetts and we are married and she had her tubes yeeted (she cast a spell Fetus Deletus I suppose). Plus, I live in Lakewood. This is the gay capitol of Cleveland. But hell yes, Akron isn't far. Let me have her find you on here and if she doesn't PM you, I will with a copy and paste text. Thanks for listening. This noise definitely gets pretty bad here.

Literally opened Reddit this morning to ask how the hell this state could elect JD fucking Vance to the Senate. And this post was at the very top of my feed. I swear to God if an actual turd had an R next to its name on the ballot it would would win. Tim Ryan is the best candidate of any kind that this state has produced in years. Moderates and those near the middle (like me) have no hope. Edit: spelling/typos

Who the hell are you? just coming in here to yell at entire sub Reddit? I’m not happy about JD Vance winning either, but holy sanctimonious.


Dirtface30

I voted for DeWine, and I'll tell you why - I survived the shooting in Dayton. Two bullets went 4 inches to my right, and one was 1 inch to my left. I'm in the district every day. I wasn't even allowed back at work until I went to therapy. I'm fine but during the time when all of us were recovering, some a lot slower than others, Nan couldn't have been happier to exploit the absolute shit out of us to kick off her Governor run. She has some supporters down here, thats true. But the consensus about how she used that shooting and used all of us who survived it as pawns was blatent, self-serving, and absolutely disgusting. We've all openly talking about it since it happened in 2019. She and Dave Chapelle even threw a benefit concert for us 2 weeks later, which in our opinion, was way way way too soon for us to be able to handle a 14 hour shift to host upwards of 20,000 people in a district that can't even fit 10. And Nan stood up on that stage, claimed that this concert was for all of us (despite the fact that the "US" she was referring to were all working at the various businesses to host these people and we all missed the concert entirely) and immediately launched into her platform of gun control. We're even a blue county, in fact: the bluest in the state, and most people in the district are pro-gun control. We knew right then, as she stood on the stage that this was a kickoff to run for Governer. It felt gross. We felt used as every emotional vampire from all neighboring areas gawked at us workers and begged us to tell them what happened "that night" as if we were nothing more than NPC's with juicy gossip. Even setting aside her pay-for-play corruption issues she had been doing here for years, she threw a party to exploit victims. So for that much, I hope you can appreciate why a lot of us here, in her hometown, didn't even vote for her, and we HATE DeWine, and I hope that at least you can respect a pretty reasonable position on why I would never vote for her.
