Every. Single. Election.

White people, usually white women, get so mad at me for predicting that more white women will vote GOP. I don't argue. I just say "Get back with me in November." They never come back in November.

Black folk often know more about how white US voters will vote. But it doesn't even feel good to be right. It's just... sad.🤷🏿‍♂️

And about Latiné men... Latiné voters are not a monolith. And again, most Latiné voters, are white.🙃

But hey, let's be clear: I called Harris, and I was wrong. Yes, I was right on all the small calls, but I got the big one wrong. I thought they would win Pennsylvania.

Harris still ran a great campaign, except for this mess.

I think she lost the election in September and October. Don't go after mythical swing voters. It doesn't work, and loses you Black turnout. 100K more Black voter turnout in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Harris would've won

@mekkaokereke Sadly, it looks like Pennsylvania fell short by at least 150k votes.

The GOP margins in rural areas went way up. I can't tell yet how much is effective GOTV and how much is change in sentiment, but I'm sure it will get dissected much better than I can do.
