They already had 9 more seats than dems and net flipped is 4 towards Republicans, think its pretty safe to guess which party will have a majority. Just a matter of how much.

Stop giving bombs for genocide and stop telling people that the economy is already great so they should not ask for more and instead give popular policy positions that help people more than a week before the election/after early voting.

My moms' voted for Trump I suspect and they're avoided voting for Republicans for a long time because of homophobia. One of them would ask things like "do you think a woman can be president" and would talk about how great she thought the stock market would do under trump. They just retired, so their well-being is now a lot more dependent on the value of their 401k than before though, so it might just be that rather than broader trends. Otoh, I've also seen her listening to like 30+ minute snakes salesman things on Facebook and be seriously believing of the obvious scam.

It still would be a mistake and would prevent some people from voting for him, but Bernie would at least compensate for it by actually supporting popular policies instead of the opposite and have some energy.

  1. Not 70+ years old.

Still managed to make enough mistakes to offset Trump's age.

Did McCain vote for Trump?

But he insulted others. He hardly was as vitriolic towards his base demographic.

Spending the first like 2 months campaigning on how she doesn't care about certain demographics' vote (primarily arab and college-age voters, and avoiding any popular policy discussion (only focusing on ways they were shifting further right) until the week of election probably didn't help. Trump got the majority of 1st time voters this cycle. Biden got 64%.

And, just like her campaign, her voters did little but try to insult people. What a surprise... insulting people doesn't convince people to vote for you or your candidate.

Silverchase's comment is a trick to prevent you from finding out how tasty switch cartridges are.

But I mentioned that and the fartographer said "No".

Why would middling underperformers be willing to pay $1000's for a job that pays worse than for the same job but paying more? You think that lady would have said "no, I don't want this job anymore because the pay increased"?

If it paid better, wouldn't more people try to bribe their way into the job? Granted, they're have more real competition for the jobs, so just getting certified might not be good enough to get a job.
