Also, too, these people who are supposedly selected and trained for bravery, and to make split-second life-and-death decisions, apparently fear for their lives at the drop of a hat.
In Colorado, I signed up months ago to receive emails from Smiling Cory®—who wants to gut your Medicare and cut your Social Security—just to see what I would get.What I get is at least one email a day from the brown noser. Plus he sold my name to Martha McSally and other GOPers.I can't unsubscribe because the unsubscribe pages are broken.
Then I signed up for Hickenlooper's emails to what he would send. He also sold my name.And, both candidates' emails look almost identical. Not in content, but in appearance: layout, color scheme.
The thing that gives me hope about Texas is that the margin in the suburbs has tightened dramatically over the last few years. The large cities have been Democratic for 10 years or so now (and Austin a long time before that), but the folks in Plano, Arlington, The Woodlands, Round Rock, etc., have overwhelmingly voted GOP. That changed in 2018; the burbs were practically a wash, and Democrats picked up a couple of Congressional seats and a small slew of state house seats. I don't think it's completely out of the question (yes, it's still a long shot) for Texas House to flip this year. The Texas Senate districts are way too gerrymandered, but the House could do it.
Libertarian Party candidate Jo Jorgenson is supposed to be netting three percent? Really? ... If I had to guess what's going on here, most of the so-called Jorgenson voters in this poll were really undecideds who picked the third-party when pushed by the pollster to just choose someone.
I'm not a polling expert, but I think a better guess is that they're GOP voters (regardless of stated affiliation) who are alienated from Trump but can't bring themselves to support a Democrat. That proportion that will break one way or another rather than "waste" their vote will break for Trump.
Let's play a drinking game. On election night, every time you hear the phrase "white working class," take a drink. Just kidding, don't do that. YOU WILL DIE.
True, but we've got to call them something. Openly talking about the Racist vote just won't play on television. We are fortunate, I suppose, that they are slightly less racist than they are misogynistic.
What the 2016 Georgia numbers by age don't include is a statistical adjustment for misogyny, which isn't going to be a factor with Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.
It's doubtful that Biden will actually win Georgia. Kemp will see to that. But the fact that Trump will have to waste resources defending it means he'll he left to spend in other swing states. Trump has already written off Michigan. If he loses any two among Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Florida, it's over for him.
And I'm no fan of Kasich but his endorsement of Biden gives him a good chance of flipping Ohio. And if Trump loses Ohio, then he won't even have a serious chance at contesting the results. No republican can win without Ohio. It'll be a blowout.
IMHO, 3rd party people have always been weird in some way, wanting pickyune issues or oddball, ego filled candidates, or issues that have been settled, or on the wrong side of history. People and issues change, but not this weirdness.Know Nothings, Bull Moose, Gold Bugs, Dixiecrats, George Wallace, Ralph Nadar, Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, Jill Stein, the list is endless.
This GA thing reminds me of a lot of local politics during the Depression, when a lot of people ran offering panaceas by the boatload. Some won.
Demon Spam!
Fucking cheaters

And our Covid response was very Libertarian and see how that has turned out.
Friendly reminder that the Democratic presidential candidate has not won the white vote since 1964.

In Georgia?
The kid sounds like she got most of her smarts from dad.
Data Goon, I wuv u!
Such uplifting and wonderful poll porn!
More please.

Data Goon needs a bio.
