Fall of The American Republic
I pondered this a few years ago. Just wondering if our best days were behind us and then Trump came along! MAGA by VFTA!!
“Poor countries were especially hard-hit, as they struggled to afford rescue measures. However, almost all rich countries eventually weathered the storm. The strategy was simple — national governments kept their citizenry solvent through direct payments, or by paying businesses to maintain their employees on staff, while they built up their health care system to prevent the virus from spreading.
The U.S. was the one significant exception. Its legislative Congress (divided into two parts, a House of Representatives and a Senate) did pass economic rescue measures, but they were weeks late, heavily slanted towards wealthy elites, and even then plainly short of what was necessary.”

Thanks. But brother, my kids will never, ever think I am cool. Ever.

dislax, sounds like you're mostly ready. just make sure you've got your sanitizer, hepa mask and of course avoid or join in on the protests or counterprotests with appropriate extra gear, flags. a d-pole might help as well to mark distance.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 3:36 pmI called it 4 years ago!

just as covid has had an impact on all the debate, rancoring (maybe not a word but i like it here), public disposition, historical mail in and early voting, covid will have an impact on the big day. how much? no one knows, but you can't deny the impact.
will the poll watching strategy win out? play with the lead, run tv ads galore, put a lid on the basement until late, avoid missteps. save energy for the final week and shout at empty parking lots.
or will it be the "ground game" (lack of money), travel by the air force jumbos, organize your bold caution-to-the-wind legions to pack into cheering fests in the middle of a pandemic. risk losing some to the virus before the big day when you need them most as a show of strength and freedoms.
what an election! who's coming to the polls?

Rasmussen just published a poll that has Biden UP 4 points in PA. They normally have a several point swing in favor of the R candidate, but certainly not here.

One thing WG and I can definitely agree on.
We are both cool kids in the lunch room. Since we both know what TL/DR means and can use it correctly.
After which a cool kid like me or WG would post:
TL/DR: Trump sucks.
Or
TL/DR: Biden is clueless.

Trump in Pennsylvania — you know, near Ohio — has his crowd yelling “Lebron sucks.” Which, you know, he doesn’t.

Re: 2020 Elections - Dems vs Trumpublicons
Good stuff from Dave Wasserman (about the best prognosticator going) this morning:
Blue Wall (i.e northern states) looks solid for Joe. But on Tuesday night, expect to see the red mirage. Because PA, WI, Mich will be reporting election day/in person votes first. Then the blue wave in the days later as the remote votes get tabulated.
Red Wall (i.e. Sun Belt) looking better for Trump but still quite iffy. But on Tuesday night, expect to see the blue mirage. Because the Sun Belt states will count/report remote votes first, with same day coming later.
Says it is more likely that GA flips blue than FL.

Re: 2020 Elections - Dems vs Trumpublicons
Sabato has AZ, PA, NC, WI, MI, and GA going blue.
He was one of the prognosticators in 2016 who really got hammered because his projections were off. Suspect he is really trying to be correct this time. Otherwise, the old crystal ball is going to look more like that of a fortune teller’s.
Hope he’s right.
