2020 General Election: Bernie Can Still Win

[Tarage]

Tbf I'd vote for the corpse of Ronald Reagan over alive Ronald Reagan too.

I'd take an alive one. Again, we're talking desperate times here. I'm struggling to think of people who could be doing a worse job right now.

It's like there are some reddit accounts that, instead of karma farming, are aiming to achieve the largest value of negative karma.
Like George R.R. Martin is competing with Jean M. Auel for the longest gap between books in a series.
Trump, for some reason, looks to be aiming to beat James Buchanan's record low score.

Did they ever get anywhere regarding mail in ballots nationwide or is it still just state by state? I wonder if my illness qualifies me for it in TX. Guess we'll see. The last two times I went right after work at 7:30A and barely waited in line. That was pre COVID though......

Elections are state administered, unless the feds pass a law (which isn't in the works)

Constitutional amendment, likely?

[Cantih]

No, because the other path for an amendment is an Article V Convention, and with the proportion of states currently under GOP control, it would be like giving the party free reign to rewrite the constitution.

It's part of the reason Wolf PAC's effort to call one to amend out Citizen's United has stalled out.

A ConCon would be a nightmare.

[Fhloston]

Oh well. Early voting at the normal spot it is, then.

So the poll that showed McConnell had a 20 pt lead on McGrath also had Booker winning the primary. McGrath is winning by a solid margin.

And God what a decisive margin for someone called "the establishment candidate".

So new NYT Poll out with Biden up 14 points Nationally, but this take away is crazy:

Biden is improving on Clinton’s performance vs. Trump almost across the board. But his lead with college-educated white women is just staggering.

In 2016, Clinton carried that group by 7 points. Biden is now leading by 39 points.

My guess is that college educated white women are not fans of having their rights pertaining to bodily autonomy shredded like toilet paper over the past 4 years and would vote for a Turnip over Trump right now.

[Zealot]

Way back when I said Hillary wouldn't win because white women wouldn't vote for her. The demographic is just more comfortable voting for a man.

oh look, a patriarch speaking for women again

[BerenTebogo]

That is certainly “A” take

To be fair (and note, I did vote for Hillary both in the primary and general), women are some catty gossipy bitches. So, yes, some is going to be misogyny, but also some is us being constantly surrounded by female drama (and I am guilty of it too I must admit). All my life my best friends have been men because they don’t fucking start drama as much. It makes sense that some have a negative idea of putting female drama in charge of the country.

I rest my case.

[Ksandra]

That would only work if men caused women to be drama. Bitch, we got periods. Men didn't cause that.

WE FUCKING SNEEZE BABY-SIZED BLOOD OUT OF OUR VAGINA OF COURSE WE WILL BE CRANKY.
