Quote from @Michael Wooldridge:
So yes people are frustrated and yes they will continue to flop. I happen to believe the dems will hold more power in future years because of the frustration. And frankly given the shifts on the popular vote in recent years that trend should be obvious.
you have to be kidding. in what solar galaxy is that scenario a potential reality? i'm all ears.
you are looking at just 2-4 year spans. I'm looking at something closer to 8-15 years. The timing has been good for GOP with economy for midterms. I don't believe it will be as red as it should be or that it will last. People are flipping because they are frustrated on economy. They will flip again. Not trying to turn this into a full political discussion but the PA senate race or Georgia Senate race are good examples.
But sure my reality is wrong :). never mind I don't care who wins because it's all more of the same.
at the rate those people are going, they might not even have a party in 8-15 years from now. you must not be aware of the "policies" and agendas that are getting peddled to make statements like the one above. good luck out there, Mike.
Funny I hear the same from the left about the right. I'm guessing you are were surprised by 2020 results then? Well aware of them all. I just don't care about it from either side.. All more of the same.
surprised? what are you talking about? your boy barely pulled ahead in key precincts. some sketchy stuff went down in 2020, that's a fact. thank god we are not ruled by the popular vote electees.
My boy? I don't care about him. But you just proved my point. Visit the coasts you'll find entirely different people from Ok / Texas (placed I am a lot and know well). Theres a reason why popular vote keeps trending up. And will continue too for years. one of us does have our head in the sand. I agree. Time will tell who but I don't think it will be me surprised.
you don't? you should, because he represents everything that is wrong in DC. i visited (and even lived on) the coasts, rest assured. you just made a whole bunch of assumptions because of my listed location, btw. i wasn't even born here, so i'm pretty sure i'm a bit more well-versed than you when it comes to having a well-rounded world view.
Location was an assumption sure but nothing to do with that logic jump. It was the comment about dems disappearing. They will only grow over the next 10-15 years. To me it's not about right or wrong but the data behind it. So the logic leap was because of that comment. If you actually believe dems will be pushed out, I have to make assumptions.
nothing to do with your "Visit the coasts you'll find entirely different people from Ok / Texas"? Just what exactly did you mean by that one then?
"They will only grow over the next 10-15 years."
again, you're making these wild statements without any sort of rational explanation other than "the coast people know better" thing.
"To me it's not about right or wrong but the data behind it."
where is it, the data? if anything, people with some level of intelligence are trying to leave those hell holes in a jiffy. post-covid migration is very telling, in light of how those "coasts know better" places (mis)handled the pandemic response.
"If you actually believe dems will be pushed out, I have to make assumptions. "
i didn't say they "will" disappear, i simply said they have a good chance of doing so if they keep going down the rabbit hole with their current ideology.
