It really has been amazing to me that this hasn't been discussed publicly at all after they got blindsided by 2016. A national conversation that starts with "hey, alot of people don't seem to like what we're selling, why is that?" would do wonders for their party's fortunes. I would think that if 2020 also goes against a Democratic campaign that is really dialing up the progressive messaging, the various donors who stand to lose money from betting on the losing side of the cultural divide would at least attempt to perform a reassessment.

Michael Moore, for all his TDS, flat out said it in 2016.

He acknowledged that people in the Rust Belt were going to vote for Trump because "Trump is lying! He's promising to bring your jobs back! That's impossible!"

I guess it wasn't impossible because Trump brought back their jobs.

Then Biden's dumb ass on the second debate said "you know all those jobs Trump brought back? I'm taking them away again."

Then Democrats will Pikachu Face if Trump wins the Rust Belt again.

I’d take that over the current Democrat party. In 2011-2012 I felt like I could relate to Democrats more, but as time has gone on, it has become increasingly difficult to do so.

I would have said I was a Democrat as recently as 8 months ago. But the mask slipped. I voted Republican all across the board this morning. Except one pity vote to a Dem that was running unopposed.

I mean Ice Cube seems to have changed his tune on Trump. Trump is doing surprisingly well with rappers then i had thought

Prior to being President, Trump had that "Ric Flair" energy that a lot of blacks seem to love. Trump was known to brag about his wealth, achievements and more. Something very common in the current rap game. Hell, even when he got divorced, Trump turned that shit into a money making scheme with a Pizza Hut advertisement.

I could see a future for the left if they adopt something like Andy Burnham's Blue Labour. He's currently against the UK central government imposed lockdown of his city, with a fair bit of support from Conservatives.

I have to admit, I've become really impressed by the "King of T'norf" in recent months. He's proven a solid independant voice to the usual squeaking madness and totalitarian mutterings from the main labour party who increasingly demand we murder the economy again and send everyone more insane by locking them up.

It's a shame he was such a bloody limp wristed shite when he ran for Labour Leader back in the day, as this Burnham I could see being an actual threat.

Anyone who advocates for originalism is batshit insane. She wants to bring us back to the original constitution, when women couldn't vote and black people were enslaved. As the world progresses, times change. A supreme court judge should be aware of that.

Amendments 13, 14, 15, and 19 afford non whites and women equal status to white men in the language of the Constitution. These amendments effectively strike the old voting provisions of white, landed, and male from the Constitution and open voting up to any warm blooded citizen, natural or naturalized, who is older than 18.
No single Supreme Court Justice nor any single judicial methodology is enough to overturn and repeal a single constitutional amendment, let alone four. If going by precedent, the only amendment to ever have been repealed is 18; Prohibition. It took another amendment - 21 - to nullify it. By that precedent, each of the four equal rights amendments would need their own repealing amendment to be voted on and passed by Congress with a 2/3 vote in each house, the President's signature, and then be ratified by 3/4 of the States. All of that is just to get one amendment passed, let alone four that target a very sacrosanct part of America's modern civil liberties.

Excellent bait HHH, would bite again.


Edit: goofed on the States needed to ratify. 3/4 instead of 2/3. Also a supermajority is stipulated for the Congressional portion of the ratification.

I know Nate Silver isn't popular around here but this article on when to expect voting results is pretty helpful: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-results-timing/

New Hampshire and Florida will be good bellweather states early on during election night. If NH goes red, Biden is toast, and if FL goes blue, Trump is toast. Wisconsin and Minnesota may also be useful to look at heading into Wednesday especially if the race is close. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Nevada will be total shitshows.

In what universe does New Hampshire go Red, or Nevada Blue?

Arizona has me concerned. I suspect fuckery if somehow Trump wins it but Martha McSally doesn't.

The true 4d chess move was Trump turning Hispanics and immigrants into conservatives so that Dems go “oh shit” and start flipping hard towards wanting a secure border.

If this pans out, I hope this means a longer-term demographic focus and realignment for the Republicans. While reducing immigration helps, it's far too late to stop many of these changes- best they can do is to get in front of them.

The focus must be in dismantling the Democrat's 'minority-friendly' image, as well as reducing public school indoctrination (for instance, I actually read that the primary reason for Texas's purpling is moreso due to the new-voter demographic than from cross-state migration).

Well my vote is in. I did my part.

Why does voting for Trump feel like I broke the law and got away with it?

Because it's 'socially wrong' to support Trump. As such, it feels subversive to do so against the modern liberal zeitgeist.

As I said. I am amazed of how many rappers have come out and surpport Trump a Republican.

If you legit told me 6 years ago that there would be a lot of famous black rappers coming out and supporting the next Republican President. I would call you crazy.

That is somewhat of a accomplishment in my opinion.
