And Cenk Was Out Front in 16 Saying Trump Was Going to Win....So He Calls the Shit How Its HappeningCenk been saying it for a while now that he don't think this election will be close. He thinks Biden will win big and I believe him. Usually voter turnout doesn't bold well for Republicans.
If it happens, I hope Dems do two things immediately. Expand the Court and do away with the Electoral College.
Texas might be the new California. If people remember, Cali used to be a deep red state. Dems went decades not winning there. Then it flipped and never went back. Texas isn't really a Red State. It's been a non-voting state. For instance, if you get 100% participation in Arkansas, it's deep red. 100% participation in Texas is clearly Blue. If this bitch flips, the dems will control the house and they can start breaking up the gerrymandering, etc and rewire the state. and eventually, that's going to put the Senate there in play. I'd be all game on Trump winning FL and GA if we got Texas to flip. That would be a 74-point swing in EC votes.
. Texas is the opposite being deeply conservative.
That's not really true. It's just that the people that predominately voted were conservative. That's it.
I feel what you're saying, but I don't think it's quite the apples to apples comparison. California may have been red, but it had a long history of liberalism. Texas is the opposite being deeply conservative. If Texas flips, I don't see it being over.. I see it being a perennial toss up like Florida where Republicans will have the edge unless Democrats turn out game is A+ (Like Obama in 2008/2012).
That absolutely is true. You're going to tell me that California and Texas have historically been the same culturally and politically?
No, I would rather see someone else. Maybe Val Demings or Preet Bharara.
Nice. Preet would be a good FU to the MAGA boys.
I'd wouldn't mind seeing Adam Schiff too.
Yes, Preet would be nice!
Agreed. Preet Bharara or Adam Schiff for AG.Or Adam Shriff
winja please.Both are essential, but both need to wait.
The first priority needs to be a sweeping federal public health campaign to get Covid under control. This should include, among other things, mandatory masks in public, free anonymous covid-19 testing, uniform social distance requirements for all American businesses, and a repeal of Trump's executive order that gave immunity to the meat industry.
The second needs to be a stimulus check and unemployment extension. There also needs to be an additional stimulus to make small businesses more covid resistant.
Florida is a different animal man. The reason why FL stays red is because not only it is heavily rural, it's dominated by the rare group of latinos that are right-wingers. It's just a demographic issue. Texas' demographics are way different. If you can keep a majority of these voting bloc engaged and Biden delivers, Texas won't find the trend.. and that's just not with the non-voting issue, how many liberal Californians are moving to Texas annually?
Getting rid of the elctoral college falls to the state legislatures and you need 38 of the 50 states to agree to get rid of it. How many small and red states do you think will go along with that? Sure try it but I don't see it happening.winja please.
they can do all that shit at the same time.
Ironically that's why census counts are important.Getting rid of the elctoral college falls to the state legislatures and you need 38 of the 50 states to agree to get rid of it. How many small and red states do you think will go along with that? Sure try it but I don't see it happening.
Well regardless of census counts each state will always have 2 senators.Ironically that's why census counts are important.
Higher counts in blue states could call for more congress persons and up the electoral votes for that state.
Man that's good news. The news the other night had my anxiety up.
winja please.
they can do all that shit at the same time.
bullshit.They could but it's a terrible idea.
For starters there's no real rush on fixing the electoral college system. They literally have years to do it.
second, how are you going to make fundamental changes to the supreme Court immediately after the last party destroyed everyone's confidence in democracy?
Dems need to win the Public's trust back first
Man, if Biden and Dems win decisively, like a real landslide, Dems have an obligation to their voters to expand the court.bullshit.
they win, they have the public trust, a mandate, and an obligation to do it.
Step 1: give DC its statehood.Man, if Biden and Dems win decisively, like a real landslide, Dems have an obligation to their voters to expand the court.
Man fuck all that "winning back the public's trust first" shit. If the dems win, then they need to even out the court point, blanket, period...They could but it's a terrible idea.

For real. A landslide victory for Dems IS winning back the public’s trust....Man fuck all that "winning back the public's trust first" shit. If the dems win, then they need to even out the court point, blanket, periods...
The republican haven't been giving a fuck about the public's trust, this the reason they haven't be playing fair and when your opponent isn't playing fair. Then you need to change the way you play and crush your opponent.
Anything other noise is just noise that needs to be quiet shut off.
Agreed. Im so sick of the Dems having to play by the rules while repubs do whatever they want, however they want. They need to understand that their fuckery will not go unaddressed and the consequences when they aren't in power are real.Man fuck all that "winning back the public's trust first" shit.

The republican haven't been giving a fuck about the public's trust, thus the reason they haven't be playing fair and when your opponent isn't playing fair. Then you need to change the way you play and crush your opponent.

It's the only way. Dems if they win across the board need to pass all their top priorities, plus some....Agreed.

Do you understand that if the dems win the president, the senate, and keep control of the house that they will have only two years to do things?You crush your opponents by winning the election. You show people the government works by providing the aid, relief, and regulation needed to save their lives.
Hopefully by that time you've created the structure you need to not only pack the court, but ensure that the nominees are qualified.
