Election 2020

while he was dressing.

Dressing like clothes, or dressing like his world famous salad dressing?

the best contrast to the voting by foot rule was when a black guy told me, when I asked why he would want to move back south, where his extended family is, he said it was his home. why wouldn't you want to go home. I was like, but the south is racist, and he said it's your home, it doesn't matter.

I guess it's sort of extreme saying if you don't like your state politics the only reason is to move. have the founding fathers been wrong before? what's up with amendments? are they like corrections to the constitution?

I am the worst person there is. I don't vote. I don't even know how to vote. yet, I talk about politics w/o backing it up. heh. and then I make up stories about reasons not to vote. like living in a blue state when apparently ppl want to count my popular vote.

I like the idea better of impregnating women more over a long term strategy. I just can't find enough women to agree to my strategy.

Yet others use it far too infrequently

That said, I agree.

I use the word 'yet' instead of the horrible phrase, 'that said'.

there is something wrong with the phrase 'that said'. and imo people use it way too much.

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan are the most successful states??

Well, I can't speak for Pennsylvania or Michigan, but it's certainly insightful of Nully to note the truth about Wisconsin.

[Kevin Seitzer]

that's the idea. the most successful states set the country's policies. he wanted a logical counterargument..i am just say'n.

it was bad luck man, losing the presidency and SCOTUS. I don't think it's a sustainable trend. I think the founding fathers had it right. I am sure they debated heavily about it. the last thing you want to do is count every popular vote, and I know that sounds crazy.

the republicans own this country. when you get older you become more conservative, not the other way around. people live longer now. of course a virus and lack of healthcare could inhibit that. yet, if we get rid of the electoral college it's playing with fire. the last 20 years is an aberration.

recently I was driving in my car listening to NPR and this guy came on the radio arguing about the need to change from an EC to a popular vote. I am liberal. I listened to the show, but I didn't agree. it's short term thinking from the stings of recent losses. it's a knee-jerk reaction. I heard of the statistics. and I agree it's not pretty. but it's not a reason to blow up the system.

that's kind of ironic I guess. as I was advocating we needed Bernie Sanders to change. radical times we live in. ..you guys may be right. i'm only squaring up the other side of this argument.

Fact is, it's become entire centralized into a few states.

And uhhh, if something hasn't worked in a few decades, then it's possible you're not just doing it wrong, but are a total dumbass.

My handicap of the presidential vote in Texas:

Trump wins by >4% margin: 5%
Trump wins by 2-4% margin: 10%
Trump wins by 0-2% margin: 40%
Biden wins by 0-2% margin: 40%
Biden wins by >2% margin 5%

That means my next expectation for the margin is Trump by about 0.5%.

For reference, the 2016 margin was 9.0% for Trump (52.2% to 43.2% for Clinton), the 2012 margin was 15.8% for Romney (57.2% to 41.4% for Obama), and the 2008 margin was 11.8% for McCain (55.5% to 43.7% for Obama). GW Bush won over 60% of the vote, but I don't think that means much.

Did you see the clips of Ossoff obliterating Perdue in a debate so badly that Perdue canceled their final scheduled debate? In a close race, it could tip the scale.

Holy crap, that was straight up gangsta. Man, I hope Georgians watched that. I just don't know how so many people keep voting for people like Perdue.

I did and if the Senate flips on the strength of GA the Democratic party should all be sending Stacey Abrams thank you cards for how much her Gov run built a system and playbook to work from.
