Why does everyone forget Pennsyltucky? The Dems never have PA locked. Just because it's technically the Northeast doesn't mean it's automatically blue.

For all of the flaws in Biden's campaign that this night has highlighted, one smart thing was he practically moved to Pennsylvania. There's practically very little more that could have been done and if the polls missed by that much then they truly do no longer matter for anything. No, the concern for Penn. isn't the raw votes, it's the courts. Especially if it goes all the way to the new Supreme Court like Trump really wants it to.

How the gently caress can look at donald trump and see all that hes done to this country and say "yeah another four years of that please"

They like that he�s an rear end in a top hat to people they don�t like. They can try to dress it up however they want, talking about tax cuts and foreign policy, but Trump�s appeal to those folks is that he�s an unapologetic rear end in a top hat and so many of them are sick of being told to not say things or to change what they say and how they treat others.

So much of the reason lower and working class white folks love Trump is rooted in the racism they have in believing �well I may be poor white trash, but at least I�m white.� They hear Black Lives Matter, see a black man become president, and all of a sudden they aren�t as good and special as they thought and they get angry and lash out. And then boom: Trump gets elected. And they are in too deep with that cult mentality to see how A Trump administration is loving them over. Leopards eating their faces.

i doubt he loses but the fact that it's this close is disgusting. the democrats must be destroyed.

if he does win, he needs to not run for re-election in 2024 or he is going to get mondale'd.

A constitutional amendment of a 15/hr wage would never happen in this current climate, so that's pretty useless.

here's the trick though: most people give precisely zero shits about actual policy. if they did, trump would be gone.

people want to be sold ideas and dreams. Trump sells people this idea of a grand America where everything could be good if not for The Other and The Other depends on who you are.

the failure of liberals over and over and over again is that they sell normalcy. they sell the status quo and people don't want the status quo because their life is lovely and awful. that's why progressive policies poll incredibly well among most people. liberals focus too hard on 'how will we get it done' that people tune out and stop giving a poo poo.

if Trump wins, liberals will start blaming minorities or progressives just like in 2016 because obviously the reason why they lost is because of them not falling in line rather than their lovely choices of candidate.

You can't call is a systemic polling miss until we see the Rustbelt outcomes. Right now everything we're seeing is in the MOE from the polls we had.

I don�t think it�s going to be depoliticization as much as it is a realignment, probably along cultural lines like Matt Christman said.

Is there any substance to this other than one tweet for 3 hours ago about in-person exit polls?

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-is-losing-ground-with-white-voters-but-gaining-among-black-and-hispanic-americans

quote:

Trump has also gained real ground among nonwhite voters. To be clear, he still trails Biden considerably with these groups, but in UCLA Nationscape’s polling over the past month, he was down by 39 points with these voters, a double-digit improvement from his 53-point deficit in 2016.

While older Black voters look as if they’ll vote for Biden by margins similar to Clinton’s in 2016, Trump’s support among young Black voters (18 to 44) has jumped from around 10 percent in 2016 to 21 percent in UCLA Nationscape’s polling. Black voters remain an overwhelmingly Democratic-leaning constituency, but a notable reduction in their support could still be a problem for Biden.

Economics apparently matters more than identity for a sizeable number of minority voters.

That's fair. Provincial elitism is a huge reason the DNC can never make inroads there to begin with.

I'm almost ready to toxx that Biden-- if elected-- will never raise the minimum wage, much less to $15/hr.
