1. Poor Baby

I feel for you. I really do

[riversedge]

10. People I know are just tired of the blame game-all the time every day. Enough they said.

[smb]

2. Huh. A Republican Said Something I Agree With

If you can't be bothered to vote, don't complain if your candidate loses.

[Justice matters.]

29. IDK maybe her deplorable voters already died of COVID due to ...

their beloved hair furhair's criminal negligence (and bleach)

[Eugene]

3. The people have spoken. The bastards!

[hatrack]

4. Bonus points for Dick Tuck reference!!

[Ray Bruns]

5. They stayed home because some stupid bastard was running around saying the election was rigged.

Gee, I wonder who that was?

[RocRizzo55]

6. Just more

MAGA tears, from the snowflake.

[iluvtennis]

7. Congrats to Vicente Gonzalez!!

[NCjack]

27. +1. And, thanks to Mayra (lite weight) for running a piss-poor campaign.

She failed to convince her supporters to vote. All fluff, no meat.

[Corgigal]

8. Or

maybe she sucked.

Just adding another opinion.

[cstanleytech]

9. I recommend that she look in the mirror to figure out why they stayed home.

[Javaman]

11. self deflection is the rule not self reflection in repuke land. nt

[erpowers]

12. When You Tell People Elections Are Rigged

Well, that is what happens when you tell people elections are rigged. The people who would vote for you stay home because they think there is no point in voting.

[orangecrush]

13. ....

The sweet nectar of MAGAT tears!

[IronLionZion]

14. Or maybe her constituents had enough of her self-hating MAGA BS

She bet big on Latinos being secretly more MAGA ...and lost.

[Zambero]

15. Wow, that was "gracious"

Nice of Flores to thank her supporters and all!

[Vogon_Glory]

16. I don't see what she's upset about

Her supporters are just doing what their Democratic-leaning peers have done for decades now—staying home when it’s time to go to the polls instead of voting!

[Scalded Nun]

17. WHO'S COMPLAINING? LOL

[oldsoftie]

18. At least she isn't saying it was STOLEN. Thats a plus. And she IS right after all.

I know a couple people over the years who complained ALL the time but never voted. One of them died & the other one finally started voting when early voting started.
he didnt like standing in line......

[Grimelle]

19. D'uh!

They don't believe elections are legitimate, remember?
Bubye!

[Paladin]

20. Shut up and DEAL WITH IT, lady.

Spare us the pathetic whining.

[keithbvadu2]

21. If no other repubs on the ballot won, she might have a point.

If no other repubs on the ballot won, she might have a point.

If other repubs on her same ballot won, it was her.

--------------------------

When several republicans are on the same ballot for different offices, the ones that win are an honest election.

The ones that lose are because of voter fraud. Or whatever excuse.

Same voter(s).

[LeftInTX]

23. She's in a different district. Same number, same opponent, however, different maps, different voters

Down ballot is likely consistent with her race.

[LeftInTX]

22. She was not expected to win. Long story short: Although this appears to be the same race, it isn't

Same district number, same candidates, however it was a different district, so the voters were different. The voters that pulled her over in the special election were placed in another district for the November election. Those voters flipped an adjoining district from blue to red. Yes, it's good that Myra lost, but we did not gain a seat here. However, there is another Latino repuke that has taken her place.

[raccoon]

24. If some candidate that I liked lost and then sent messages fussing

If some candidate that I liked lost and then sent messages fussing at their supporters for not voting, it would not inspire me to vote for him or her anymore.

[TeamProg]

25. What a WHINER !! Certainly not a winner.. Go cry somewhere else, we have work to do.. n/t

[smb]

31. So Much Whining We're Tired Of Whining, Just As Dolt45 Promised! nt

[TeamProg]

34. !!!

[republianmushroom]

26. I like it

[czarjak]

28. Or, Mexican-Americans don't want to find out what they have to lose by embracing racism?

Because, that is exactly what the Gringos R.

[Genki Hikari]

30. What crap

That's the Valley.

She lost because the district's traditional D voters showed up this time.

[Kennah]

32. Hello? Information? What's the number for a wahmbulance?

[TomDaisy]

33. VERY SWEET VICTORY FOR DEMS
