I had North Carolina and Florida going Biden before Georgia. So it did shock me when the needle flipped in Georgia on Election Night.

At poll closing, no, not at all.  After seeing Florida's results first, yes.  For some reason the polling bias didn't apply to Georgia.

No, and just because OH and NC didn't vote D, that doesn't mean we can't win them in 2022, especially NC, we only lost it due to CUNNINGHAM and his sex scandal, we won the Gov race.
Some users think that NC is now a permanent R state which is far from truth. Pat McCrory said Jackson can win, on Meet the Press

I thought the only way we would win Georgia was if we won Texas and the 413 map. If you had told me on November 2 that we were going to carry Georgia while losing North Carolina and Florida I would have laughed in your face. I’m really looking forward to seeing how Georgia goes in the 2022 midterm to see if it’s going to be a tease like Florida in 2008 and 2012 or the next Virginia.

I thought Trump was the favorite, but I wasn’t “shocked” to see him lose.

This isn't 2016 anymore, it's 2021 and GA, NC aren't the same states as they were in 2016 they are back to 2006 norms when Biden won NC in 2008

No. I fully expected the state to be a point to the left of NC. This was definitely one of the best takes that I made since I joined the forum.

We won the Gov race in NC by 4 points, NC is still winnable

Yes. I didn't expect a single Bible Belt state flipping.

I knew it would tighten but I didn't think Biden was gonna win it. This was literally the only state I got wrong in my prediction.

Not shocked, but Biden winning Georgia was the whipped cream on the latte!

Why do we assume 2016 is like 2004 and we can never win red states, 2006 was the realignment when VA became a D state not an R state, D's since then have won FL, NC , OH and IA and have expanded the battleground, conservatives like Mike Pence think that we can't win the Sunbelt South
