Joe Biden is now POTUS

If it happens, I hope Dems do two things immediately. Expand the Court and do away with the Electoral College.

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.
 
Georgia and Texas are undergoing a big demographic change due to a ton of minority and business corporation migration.


Eventually both will be blue...it will take a while, but it's inevitable due to the population changing...assuming high voting turnout continues. I don't think it's happening now though.
 
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.

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's not really true. It's just that the people that predominately voted were conservative. That's it.

That absolutely is true. You're going to tell me that California and Texas have historically been the same culturally and politically?

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?

That's not my argument. I'm making the comparison to Cali because of the size of the EC prize. I'm not saying the political history parallels.

It is a FACT that Texas ranks dead last in voter turnout. And those voters that don't turn out are predominately democrats. That's a fact homie. The GOP is right here in this election saying that if all eligible voters turn out, there is going to be a bloodbath in the state.

and the migratory pattern favors democrats. demo birthrate favors democrats. Texas is a wave election away.
 
Poll: Biden bests Trump with Latino voters by a 2-1 margin

Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden leads Donald Trump among Latino voters by about a 2-1 margin days before the presidential election, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll.

The poll finds that 62 percent of Latinos support Biden, while 29 percent support Trump. In 2016, according to exit polls, Hillary Clinton’s margin of victory among Latinos was 66 percent to 28 percent.

Still, their engagement in the election lags behind other voter groups, which could be a warning sign for Democrats hoping to bank Latino votes for Biden and other Democratic candidates in key battleground states like Arizona, Florida and Texas. Sixty-seven percent say their interest in the election ranks a 9 or a 10 out of 10, compared with 87 percent of white voters and 80 percent of Black voters.

The oversample of Latino voters was conducted in conjunction with the NBC/WSJ national poll fielded October 29-31, 2020. The margin of error for 410 interviews is +/- 4.84 percentage points.

winja please.

they can do all that shit at the same time.

Yup, FL is unique in that northern Florida is basically rural GA from the boarder to around Orlando, the rest of the state is basically Senior retiree's, a mix of people from the Caribbean who are very much evenly all over the political map, rich playboy playground and some of the poorest areas in the country.
 
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.
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.

Well regardless of census counts each state will always have 2 senators.

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

bullshit.

they win, they have the public trust, a mandate, and an obligation to do it.

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...
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.
Any other noise, is just noise that needs to be shut off.

For real. A landslide victory for Dems IS winning back the public’s trust....

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.

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

"Now call it what you want to
You fucked with me, now it's a must that I fuck wit you"

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.

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?
There is no guarantee that the dems will maintain control of the house.
People are angry, upset, etc....and they see how the republicans have be going about things. The people want the dems to grow balls and stop being gentle men and women. No they want them to push forward and not sit back like everything is ok. Whether you and others think so or not this is a watershed elections where people who aren't Republicans want radical change in how dems operate. So first point of order should be evening out the court or we will have a conservative court overruling dems on any progress. Can't have republicans in power anywhere.
