I actually believe a main stream republic is more likely to do most of those things than a main stream democrat.


I agree with this statement, which is why I am curious as to why you would canvass for the democrats. From your policy positions it seems like a centrist GOP member (with tweaks) would be where you are at.

But then again, where you are located in the states changes things up. A blue dog may be to the right of a red dog.



At the end of the day, I think any GOP candidate who is not trump wins in 2024. The GOP media messaging of any democratic is a socialist and WAY far left resonates with a lot of people. You get ANY gop member who isnt trump, and the GOP will say "he has trump's policies, but without the baggage."

What razor thin margin ;) MF lost by 7 million

The electoral college is so fucking dumb and fucking dangerous. Like a time bomb under a house that people don’t want to remove because they like the color.

Tea Party throwbacks,


After Trumpism, Tea Party looks pretty good to me!

I still have trouble wrapping my head around how the same cohort of people who self-identified Tea Party then supported Trump. Since on a purely ideological basis, the Tea Party is more different from Trumpism than it is from liberalism (Pelosi-not-Hobbes). Or at least similarly different. The Tea Party was supposed to be about minimal government and the elimination of political celebrity by election of purely functionary politicians tightly constrained by an activist constituency. Well that went out the window in a hurry....

Shouldn’t that be in pink? The tea party loved trump in 2010. The tea party was never about any real policy, it was about owning the libs and screaming. Which matches trump perfectly.

Razor thin electoral college margins. And for senate for GA.


Again Biden won; 306 to 232. This was a very substantial win. Only if you listen to Trump and his Republican fans do you think that was close.

But yes, Republican voters are dropping like flies. I hope when they get to the Pearly Gates, St Peter has a talk with them about vaccines before he sends them down the Down Elevator!

Half pink. I genuinely like *some* of the Tea Party ideology taken as-stated. To your point, it turns out that almost none of that ideology was sincerely held belief by people who identified as Tea Party. It was something like Founding-Father-washing. Pretend that your ideology derives from historic core principles as a marketing tactic (even to the level as dressing up as Founding Fathers). But turns out it wasn't about those core principles at all.

If the Republicans present traditional candidates instead of Trump nut sack holders or Tea Party throwbacks, they will be fine. There are enough independents and moderates, myseff included, who can vote either way,

This will have a far greater impact than Covid.

You want to spend more on the military? Like more than the 650 billion we spend already? Which is nearly 3 times what China spends (260 billion)? (2019 numbers)

What fuck all do we need that we don't have and why is being afraid of China more important than health care, education and bridges that don't collapse?

I addressed that upthread. By some metrics we have the worst military and the worst healthcare in the world.

I don't argue your position of more trumpers dying off than Biden guys. Who knows? intuitively it makes sense. To the point of the thread and razor thin margins however, I say those numbers remain insignificant and are offset by the numbers who survive COVID but whose living is not better off if COVID still impacts. If the next Reagan walks in and say's "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago" and the answer is "No" then even with a whole bunch of meathead old white men getting planted in the ground, the next Reagan wins.

If 10 Biden voters die but 100 Trump voters die, is it really "a win" if 1000 Independents change their minds because of that?

I think all of this discussion is a non-issue. Parties need to connect with people and let them know what they're doing for them in the real world, and persuade. Can't vote if all the swing states have kangaroo court Secretaries of State and Election Boards.
