***Official Political Discussion Thread***

No one can make any solid conclusions about what motivated the moves toward Trump for months.

Statisticians and political scientists need to parse through the polling data and conduct post-election surveys.

Some stuff will fall on Dems. But there are other considerations to take into account like considering how many mail ballots were not counted if turnout was down in some districts. Is white identity moving Latinos, how much does disinformation play a role.

No one should be pushing "I told you so takes" so soon. Especially since the main takeaway from what motivated Obama-Trump voters in 2016 (populist economics) turned out to be wrong.

At this point, we know there is an issue, we don't know what.
 


I can't believe net losses are happening in the House, wtf

If anything I was confident in them taking congress. Dems clearly aren't doing enough. Should've been a landslide election in their favour.
 
A lot of Trump supporters tend to overlook the fact that he's been having a lot of legal stuff suppressed due to his status as president. America would never lock up a sitting president. That's a terrible look on the global stage. If this election ends how it's looking now, dude is gonna spend the next couple years fighting a ton of charges in court.
On the State level I could definitely see certain bold AG's going after him and his crime family like in NY state but on the federal level? Never happening I'm afraid :lol

If ever there was an argument to charge and jail a former president for criminality it would've been with the likes of Nixon and Dubya but the following administrations didn't want to look back in the name of unity and 'moving the country forward'.

It's not necessarily right or just but they all understand how much a precedent like that could affect any and all subsequent administrations given what the job entails...

Dems are out to “save the world” and change everything. People don’t want that. Ease those things in. Don’t even mention climate change but build towards stopping it. Things like that. All that loud mouth “for your own good” talk doesn’t work
 
Unless there's 50k+ secret trump votes in Detroit/Flint, looks like Biden is gonna take Michigan
 
And here come the Republican Trump MAGA tears from my 'friends' on Facebook. At times I thought about unfriending or hiding them for 30 days but I wanted to get their 'perspective' on things and times like these I'm glad I did.
