can't win close races when you're dividedVincent Van Goatse posted:My snap judgment here is that they ran up the totals in Deepest Red America and under-performed everywhere else. They pulled a Hillary. pretty much, the margin should close a bit as later ballots are counted.

psydude posted:Ok I'm just gonna come right out and ask it: is it possible that the GOP's decision to kill off a large portion of their voter base by promoting vaccine skepticism has contributed to a bunch of these competitive races going blue? It's not not a factor. Relative to other factors like gop internal divisions and especially the gop's war on women and, like, the peaceful transfer of power it's probably not one of the bigger factors this year. Still it's unquestionably a factor and when I did the math on it midway through the pandemic, the average person dying of covid was iirc 12x more likely to be a republican voter than a dem. That number might have ended up even more extreme as protection with boosters got better. The numbers there are actually pretty extreme because obviously covid deaths very heavily skew older and over 60s are traditionally about twice as likely to vote as younger people, this was all then compounded by older dems being vaccinated at incredibly high rates. It should go without saying that killing off your most dependable voters at a hugely disproportionate rate is an incredibly stupid strategy.

Arven posted:Someone posted a tiktok infographic a few months back that kind of explained it; covid deaths helped a bit, but the people in the age group that are dying of natural causes every year are like +30 R and the ones that are turning 18 and vote are +30 D, so barring a major realignment in the zoomer's politics it's just going to skew bit by bit more in the democrat's favor every year for a while. vaccination rates are one of the single most partisan things in the entire country on top of everything else
