To be clear, I think Hillary wins in 2016, but if the minority vote turnout is close to what it was in any election except 2008 or 2012, she loses.

Hillary is going to get significantly more white votes than Obama. I'm not one of the optimists that sees her making as much headway in the Republican safe-zones as Bill did, but it should be by a few per cent. A several-point swing.

Specifically, she is going to take back impoverished coal fields and rust belt towns that voted lockstep Democratic for decades (even throughout the civil rights realignment) but balked at electing a black President.

She needs ~decent~ minority turnout, but I wouldn't say she needs the historic numbers Obama got.

Those areas had been trending Republican even before Obama, even if he was the breaking point for them.

Can you actually get decent fresh passion fruit in Belgium? Seems like you're just not in the best geographic location to fully embrace the passion fruit.

Go watch Cleo From 5 to 7 instead.

Inuktitut syllabics is just the coolest writing system. :swoon:


they're great because they're one of the very few writing systems that has most of modern linguistic study and graphic design knowledge behind them, and were applied to an actual language real people used.

they're basically what tolkein would have wanted his writing systems to be.

Kerry got 41% of the white vote in 2004. Obama got 43% in 2008. Coal country is gone and Hillary ain't getting it back. You run up the vote in Cuyahoga or you lose.
