We just spent years listening to a whole party try to invalidate the last election. It’s likely a wild goose chase, but is a couple of weeks too much to ask?We all know that Trumpsters are low information and have no critical thinking skills. So how long before they concoct a theory that Pfizer held back news of the vaccine to help Biden win?
Yeah, except not. This is a blinkered, false narrative not supported factually.There's a reason his base is comprised of uneducated, poor rural folks.
This is funny. Each side perceives the other as low information, etc. I see Dem voters as gullible sheep with no critical thinking that believe everything the Dem controlled MSM puts out. Just two questions 1) how can the Paris Accord be good when it penalizes America now while giving breaks to the biggest offenders? and 2) how can an open southern border be good when it’s been demonstrated that drugs and human trafficking take place on a large scale?We all know that Trumpsters are low information and have no critical thinking skills. So how long before they concoct a theory that Pfizer held back news of the vaccine to help Biden win?
In the post I responded to maybe?? BB is saying if it's within the 1% trigger recount go ahead but if its out of the 1% trigger not to recount. All the swing states need recounted.So now you ignore the claim of all the people not wanting a recount. I haven't seen opposition to a recount. Where is all this opposition?
The big items I see are: 1) the delivery of 138k Biden MI ballots by a van and Ferrari in the middle of the night 2) voting machine errors 3) sharpie use in AZ and 4) destruction of ballots at an incinerator in the Philly area caught on camera. I’m sure I’ve missed some.
Election results didn't go to suit you because the Dems didn't play fair? What should we do? Well you could revolt and secede from the Union, but that tends to get messy.
Perhaps this would be a better solution. Some of you may be to young to remember this scene from The Sting, but it occurs right after Paul Newman broke one off in Robert Shaw in the poker game.
"We can't let him get away with that."
"What was I supposed to do, call him for cheating better than me?"
this is false: Education, Not Income, Predicted Who Would Vote For TrumpYeah, except not. This is a blinkered, false narrative not supported factually.
Fact: the more affluent across income brackets vote Republican, and even in ‘blue’ domains. That the majority in a metro area or state vote Democrat does not make those voters more affluent by association. The more affluent even in those areas are more likely to vote Repub in higher percentages.
Hillary won the “poor” individual vote, while Trump still won less affluent *regions* and the affluent vote. This is hardly a secret phenomena and reflect longstanding voting patterns.
But even income brackets are false indicators. A family making $50k in AL is, in practicality, more affluent than one pulling $50k in CA...which is, incidentally, why CA has the highest poverty rate in the US, in practical application (Supplemental Poverty Measure).
Having fewer voters with degrees does not mean they are “uneducated” and working low wage, low skill jobs. Like slinging PBRs for a living, for example. In fact, that across the spectrum R voters have higher incomes in both practical and absolute terms and are less likely to be unemployed and underemployed and consume less subsidy, these voters are exactly the kind of Americans who keep this economy moving, whether degreed or not. They are certainly not, as you imply, unintelligent. They are disproportionately *not* poor.
Lastly, red states absolutely dominate the rankings of most fiscally sound states while blue ones command the least solvent rankings.
Now fetch me another beer, you educated barmaid.
