Trump was able to fire up his entire base more than any republican could and yet the "worst candidate in history" was able to kick his ass without even doing in person rallies which are so vital in getting out the vote
Sure you did Donald, sure you did.
Keep crying Donny 
Yes.
Here's an article that mentions it from 2008 - https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5467576&page=1
Partly true, but economically speaking, the Democratic Party's mainstream is pretty much centre-right. The idea of universal healthcare, free higher education (yes I know it's not "free" but tax-funded before some American Republican descends on me from Mount Capitalism with hellfire) are still considered radical, left-wing proposals even among the Democrats. The US is also a lot more religious than just about any other first world country.
The "blue left" is probably even more socially progressive than the average European though, that much is true - but probably not particularly representative of the overall American population.
Ah, yeah. I read it the other day.
Does anyone know estimate of Trump leaning voters who didn't vote at all because Trump was so vocal against postal votes.
Eg people listened to him by not posting votes, but then couldn't be arsed to show up and queue on election day?
May that have single handedly lost him these final deciding states?

Providing enough social security so that people can find something else instead of throwing an easy cop out answer which people perceive the "learn to code" phrase to be.
There's also all the poor people who died from Corona before election day.
How many of them were Trump supporters who didn't take it seriously because of things he said or weren't protected due to his lack of action?
Hehe, somehow, I doubt that where I'm from. I share your hope though
Ffs
Polling seems to show other wise. The reason why dems find it hard to push these agendas is because of the system of government they have ion place that makes 500k people n the 2 dakotas have more say in the senate than 50 million living in california. The problem is there system of government and where people live. if you actually poll the country on a whole they want all the things that you just mentioned . But when places like PA are gerrymandered to the hilt Ds have to run moderate candidates to get elected in the congress. Its not that there arent an overwhelming amount of people that want policies that are to the left. its that they all live in the same place and therefore are under represented in government . Thats my opinion anyway from the outside looking in
i suppose, but 70 million people viewed the previous 4 years, and thought yes more of that please
Yeah, you make a fair point there. I meant that those things are considered radical within the party - but a lot of that is down to what you say. Universal healthcare, for example, does have majority support among Americans.
this reminds me of when some Bernie supporters were complaing about "Mayor Pete's" caucus app
I’m not the most political person, but I have a bet on Biden. Realistically how long is it going to take before I get paid?
Thanks
Thanks
Cognitive dissonance isn’t a good look
January 20th, 2021.
That depends on the betting company, doesn't it? When do they decide to pay out?
I'm sure you'll get your money on Inauguration Day at the latest
Trump, 2016, when some people were pushing Hilary to ask for recounts in tight results
"The people have spoken and the election is over, and as Hillary Clinton herself said on election night ..... 'we must accept this result and then look to the future,'" Trump said in a statement, which called the recount 'ridiculous' in a headline.
(not exact like for like situations I grant you).

yes the party is for sure not center left but thats becuase they feel thats the only way they can successfully mount an ability to govern in the current system. But if you actually look at USA in its entirety , they are left of center.
for instance... 70% of the USA doesnt own a gun . the 30 percent are just extremely vocal about owning them and own alot of them so it makes it seem like every man woman and child has one. things like that make them seem what they are not as a whole
At the very least they ll probably get inundated with requests for landscaping quotes by MAGA folks. #worthit
Also the Republicans did tonnes of door knocking and canvassing - the Dems didn't due to COVID. It would be interesting to see what the results would be if the ground games were the same or similar.
Depends were you bet but most betting places said in their rules something along the lines of "court cases don't matter, they settle it as soon as reasonably possible" so not much longer than when media announces who won. I'd be surprised if it goes beyond next week.
Biden may die of old age before hes dubbed president elect
Im set to win £55, they are currently offering a £46 cash out. I know £9 isn’t much but I still want it.That depends on the betting company, doesn't it? When do they decide to pay out?
I'm sure you'll get your money on Inauguration Day at the latest
thats also a fair point. door knocking is absolutely vital to turn out. Dems ran this campaign with one hand tied behind their back
