This is actually pretty good news for democrats isn't it? If they did this well with a less diverse electorate than 2016, one would think they stand a very good chance with an expected 2020 electorate.

Yes and no, one of the stronger indicators for Democratic support (after race, gender, and age) is education level:



So this was a fairly friendly election turnout by that metric.

Good. My body is ready, and has been for a while.

I still don't understand why investigators would tell someone they are about to indict them.

Wouldn't it be more, uh, impactful if the indictment comes out of nowhere?

It is indeed amusing. Although it's also true that, even if you don't lie, if a prosecutor is trying to indict you and they have access to your... well, everything, then they will find something. After all, the average person breaks what, three laws per day or something like that?

If I had to guess I would wager it is Corsi flat out having claimed to not know someone or not to have talked about something and there being a huge series of emails and documents showing that he was at the center of it.

Was he in on the WikiLeaks poo poo too? Seems like he would be someone Stone would call when he wanted to get poo poo spread around.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Reminder that Corsi is a massive liar and showboat (swiftboat? :v: ) second only to Stone himself. There's a nonzero chance this is a grifting ploy for "legal defense" dollars.

They didn't. If you read it carefully, he *Thinks* he is going to be indicted soon.

It's just more attempted grift. Remember that the OSC doesn't leak.

That literally did help the Republicans in 2016 with their base, so who knows? Maybe it gets people motivated for 2020.

Amendment 4 in Florida to re-enfranchise felons won over 60% of the vote.

Antigerrymandering iniatives passed overwhelmingly in Colorado, Michigan and Missouri, and last I saw was narrowly leading in Utah.

It would seem that expanding democracy is more popular than people think.

It's easy to lose with grace when you're still going to get a Senate seat.

She's probably going to get appointed to McCain's old seat in a few months. There's no reason for her to go through the trouble of rick scotting.

They've admitted to 147, not enough to actually swing anything.

But if they accepted them and other counties didn't, this is the only ACTUAL voter fraud we've seen this entire election.

i hate rick scott but he was savvy enough to go to puerto rico and express support and whatnot after Donald hosed that one up

if he wins his senate seat, that'll be one of the things that put him over the top, because there are a bunch of puerto ricans in florida (and even more now, because hurricanes!) and they don't/didn't realize he's a horrible ghoul
