3 percentage points separated Trump and Harris with the Latino vote. 66 percentage points separated Trump and Harris with the Black vote. That doesn’t seem to be equal to me, but ok.

Black voters correctly predicted that Trump was full of shit. Why do you think they were better at seeing through Trump than other minorities?

Buttigieg won Iowa, Bernie won New Hampshire and Nevada, then Biden won South Carolina. Next came Super Tuesday and a day before that you had the rest of the candidates stop their campaigns and support Biden. Biden ran the table on Super Tuesday.

I liked Bernie too, but if the vast majority of people on the left and center wanted him then they must have stayed home during the primaries.

Ezra Klein: We need to consider that Clinton calling some Trump supporters deplorable was a massive political mistake.

Meanwhile Trump keeps winning with stuff like this.

I can’t believe anyone thinks we are capable of jailing politicians.

The people who need to see it are on social media.

Then there was a short time where we thought temps were falling. In the Jimmy Carter museum there’s a bit on it.

Zaid Jilani is like if those stale articles on the opinions of diner patrons in towns with 5 digit populations became sentient.

News to me, every time I throw my line into the ocean a shark bites it. They seem more than plentiful.

Any topic that can potentially swap you 5% of the vote sounds pretty powerful to me. The issue of Trump’s attack on the constitution seems a lot more locked in than other issues.

They haven’t been doing that? Inflation prices pissed everyone off a lot more than any of the constitution eroding things Trump did or promised to do.

Yep, that’s been the story for the past 3 elections. Y’all need some new material because if you haven’t noticed, it isn’t working.

Nope, normie dems are who protected and lied about Biden’s decline. I’ll never vote for them again. Give me progressives and I’ll crawl across glass.
