welshbairn Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Even if Biden wins it looks like the GOP will keep the Senate, and they've already got the Supreme Court. What a difference a few hours make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened? Burst waterpipe in Fulton County delayed count of absentee ballots, presumably with a majority of Dem votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presenters did an awful job of questioning him though. I had to switch to sky after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but it just highlights that the voting coalitions are a lot more complex than the simple right vs left caricatures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL is heavily minimum wage service industry; cost of living vs wages is horrific in Miami and Orlando, so if it’s a per head vote count it’s not super surprising. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows the kind of issues that Dems should be focussing on rather than just being for being able to go to brunch. The Uber vote in California is depressing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows why the establishment Dems had to do anything to stop Bernie. But i'd temper that by saying that people are generally for progressive ideas but when you start describing the complex actions needed to implement them a lot of people go cold (because they are idiots who don't like details). Obviously it's only Left idea that need to be simple, shit like Quantative Easing and bailouts can be done with minimal public discussion or reporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's only Left idea that need to be simple, shit like Quantative Easing and bailouts can be done with minimal public discussion or reporting.To paraphrase Noel Gallagher and the forum’s own Swampy “the people don’t know what they want which is why any progressive government worth their salt should push through positive change regardless of wider support and trust that the positive effects will speak for themselves.” You’re never gonna have an honest discussion about something like M4A, look at the Prop 22 vote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
