When did this flip? It seems the complete opposite now. Big cities are more democrat in general, "normal", more educated folk. The red is far more rural, make of that what you will. It's pretty much every city area democrate ( not every) and almost every rural area Republican. The florida vote illustrates that very well, but it's a national trend. It's a city folk v hill billy thing now.... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has a UKIP/Brexit Party feel to it. I think the minority parties hold the key to 2024. Biden needs to hit the ground running quickly and effectively, because you’re going to see a more centrist approach from the Republicans after Trump walks.

If the Republican party switches back towards its normal position could a Trump party itself emerge. That would split the vote and allow the Dems an easy ride the next time around. A large section of Trumps support look like an uneducated bunch who once he goes will probably not even bother to vote if their chief spokesman ( Trump ) is not speaking their language. The Republicans might have to keep right of their normal position next time around too to hold onto their new fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While neolib Democrats claim progressivism is causing them to lose races and they too have to stay farther right. 30 years of pandering to this bullshit idea and you've just predicted a very likely outcome. Either way I'm going on record now based on what I've already seen that Dems will lose the House back to Republicans in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ93 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 11 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: Out of curiosity, Why do you detest about the Democrats? What policy or law made you detest them? Incredibly high amounts of regulation - we should not need government's permission to trade with one another. Incredibly high taxes Educational policy that seeks to divide people rather than bring them together A desire to give millions of people who broke the law to enter the US the right to vote - knowing that it will result in more Democrat votes than Republican votes. Many Democrats (as individuals) hate what America is based on (individualism). The party is infected with them which is why many older Democrats moved to Republicans in last 4-5 years. These older people know what it is to work for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY uncertainty about Pennsylvania is what will happen with the large number of provisional ballots. Because of the unusual nature of this year’s voting patterns (mail-in / early / on the day voting mix), there’s just not a lot of certainty about how they will break. However, there is also no evidence to suggest these will break for Trump in any significant way. Decision desks are just being massively cautious about making the call. Biden will win Pennsylvania, and the Presidency, it’s just a matter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
