I’ve listened to a lot of interviews with Trump supporters, swing voters whatever the **** you want to call them and it’s blatantly obvious that a huge reason for Trump’s success was that Republicans were able to make Democrats the Party of AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, Biden. These aren’t some dumb yokels either, but the propaganda was successful. This is not about policy anymore, it’s about emotions and partisanship. You can’t blame Progressives for losing House seats that they didn’t run in, but Democrats need to figure out a national platform quick that appeals to everyone and let candidates adapt to the states they’re in or they’ll continue to bleed support in red/purple states.


How can one party be both the party of AOC and Biden?


That should read not Biden. But their explanation for Biden was that he was a Trojan horse for Ultra Liberal Kamala Harris :banghead:


For those of you who rely on polling on these matters, Bernie set the national platform with items that Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of. But he had his legs cut out from under him for the second time. When are we going to FIGHT FOR SOMETHING?

What does it even mean to be a Democrat anymore? "We invite you to join the Democratic Party. What we stand for is simply not being Republicans, whatever that means."

Go with the AP instead. It called Arizona for Biden.

Trump, with 214 electoral votes, faced a much higher hurdle. To reach 270, he needed to claim all four remaining battlegrounds: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada.

Wingo you do realize that the AP "calling it" is meaningless. The votes are either there or not we still have to wait and see.


Maybe you should've told that to you President Orange Goo. You are funny. It's amazing how and when you choose to listen to certain sources.

Anyhow ... I understand that Trump is filing meaningless and endless lawsuits to delay the inevitable. If that's what you want to wait for, then be my guest. Trump is done. Time to face facts.

FYI, the AP is the hands down the most informed news outlet on these election issues due to the simple fact that they have the most boots on the ground.

They think if they become more republican that republicans will vote for them and lose election after election but never learn. That's on them, not progressives...who actually won another House seat and even in a deep red state this election... :lol:


They just say what they need to in order to protect their jobs. Admitting they failed would mean different types of candidates and advisors; so better to make excuses.

If we don't take the Senate in this election, it means that nothing will get done for the next 2 years. Yep, back to normal.

Who here thinks Joe will be able to work some kind of voodoo magic that will suddenly cause Mitch McConnell and the rest to shake our extended hand? Please.

Trump got jealous of Biden's airtime. Just announced he will be speaking at 6:30 - get ready for the furious rambling.

Trump voters:

In Pennsylvania: "STOP THE COUNT! STOP THE COUNT!"

In Arizona: "COUNT THE VOTE! COUNT THE VOTE!"
