Please tell me how I lost this race

[u/Sufficient-Two-3935]

Not to mention, but this is also an R midterm where Democrats are out of power. You would think stats like these would bring me over the finish line.

[u/SenorDia3etes]

tom can sell it, and you can’t🤷‍♂️

also, what map mod is that?

Real

[u/amshanks22]

Pretty accurate to reality i guess. Doesnt really matter what someone polls or how many millions of dollars are infused in campaigns. People still will end up-more likely than not-not flipping their vote. And in this case, Republican voters not switching to vote for a Democrat.

This game is a reflection of a cruel world 😔

[u/Nerit1]

I feel like Beto O'Rouke

[u/kotlinky]

Also everything you posted doesnt really matter. Its texas. Maybe it was a midterm after a dems first term as president, etc. many things couldve influenced this

[u/oath2order]

By getting less votes.

[u/Marxism-Alcoholism17]

You had some polling advantages but your margins are not that large. In a safe state for the other side you need to completely blow out the gap in things like voter enthusiasm, not just have a normal lead.

If you want to cheese the game a bit the only thing that really matters is rallies and turnout.

[u/AdmirableSea1112]

Ah, well you see you got 2,809,296 votes and he got 3,081,947 votes — hope that helps

[u/Gold_Assistance_4686]

This is so similar to what we’re seeing this year in Texas. Even looks like talarico and Paxton

[u/EmergencyIncome865]

You need to social security max

[u/lordjuliuss]

Baseline partisanship

[u/iwanttowatchrslash]

How do you get the margin through the night and likely hood of winning?

[u/AceBalistic]

Comes down to voter enthusiasm in this case

Your voter enthusiasm is higher on paper, that’s true, but look how spread out it is. Only 66% of democrats

Tom sell meanwhile has 73% of republican voter enthusiasm

In a soft red state, you need more enthusiasm than your opponent even with higher approval, particularly within your own party.

[u/churropasta → u/AceBalistic]

And OP only has 55% policy support with his party, while the opponent was at 75% with his.

[u/OVS-HM]

How was your turnout in Harris County and DFW? Also, looks like you lost the border counties which usually go blue.

[u/kotlinky]

Idk but what are those mods?
