  1. No they haven't. Like many other leftish parties around the western world they adopted right wing economics. But it seems like things are going our way now. I think the Democrats understand the danger. All Trump did was continue those policies that got us to where we are.
  2. Yep. We are coming for them with higher paying jobs and services and they are just going to have to suck it up and take it.
  3. Reaganomics and neo-liberalism alienated a bunch of people. That is what has led to the rise of right wing reactionary politics. Along with all these dangerous oligarchs we now have to contend with. We need to fight this crisis with a return to New-Deal era type policies or it will only get worse.
  4. I completely accept that. It basically what made me a leftist in 2016 and why I want things like UBI and Medicare for all.
  5. You are missing that we are very nervous and panicking over every little thing.
  6. People suck. That is a key ingredient one must always factor in.
  7. Walz is my kind of dude. I hope if he becomes VP he continues to make noise about these issues.
  8. What are we supposed to learn from this? I guess to see if the gap remains the same and if we can pick up a House seat or two in Iowa?
  9. Yet Mondale, Dukakis, and Trump all lost Pennsylvania. Not sure Washington is a great bellwether.
  10. Yeah. Had the first day in awhile that wasn't the largest day of EV ever and I was like 'WTF happened?' Right...Halloween. Of course. Today is the last day so hopefully we will see something impressive. All you slackers who haven't voted yet, get out there and do it.
  11. Our voting system is aggressively analog. You have to snail mail or hand deliver your registration FFS. I do love our long early voting period. I hope they never take that away from us.
  12. I am so happy for Ohtani after years of brilliance for the shit Angels organization. If only he could have taken Mike Trout with him to the Dodgers. It seemed like every year I would be seeing if the Angels would get their shit together so we could at least see Trout and Ohtani in a wild card series but nope...
  13. That would be a very good result for Harris. Trump won South Carolina +11 in 2020 and +14 in 2016. But we will see.
  14. Some of those numbers are so weird. Like why would Hartley County have everybody voting early but Dallam is like...no fuck that.
  15. Biden went out and clarified and apologized. For most normal people that is enough. Unless you are really big into cancel culture. Trump didn't do that.
  16. I don't recall her saying publicly that they were. But, to be fair, I don't listen to her that much. She isn't my representative.
  17. He will take credit for it before he even enters office if he wins and then tank the economy and then his successor will get the blame for it...if this goes anything like 2017-2021.
  18. I mean they are bad because we are almost certainly going to lose this election. But good because high turnout should...someday...work out for us.
  19. Just like the last election following the polls is an endless series of this bit from the Simpsons:
  20. Weirdly I have seen none of this in central Texas this year. It was all over the place in 2020.
