I admit I thought Harris would win the POTUS. I had no idea how bad the ass whipping's would be in the House and Senate races though.

I thought the dems would win again, too. Maybe the electorate outside the major cities and certain states are smarter than I thought after the previous election. A couple of glaring things stand out. There is a major and growing divide in this country, and it's not regional; we have a huge metropolitan/rural divide. Atlanta bloat has made GA purple for the time being, but it will be blue all too soon. We here have our own pest control problem with Nashville growth in particular (invasive species from dem hellholes) - Memphis is just a lost cause - Chattanooga is trending. The DC bureaucracies have forever perverted and destroyed VA - not much hope that the rest of the state recovers unless it secedes from NoVA.

The "needs" of urban areas vs the necessities of rural areas are completely perverting our way of life. Urban areas are the overhead and the rural/smaller metropolitan areas are the producers; and the needs, contributions, and beliefs of the two are at complete odds. Rural areas have always been populated by more self sufficient types while cities represent those who need "services" (can't or won't deal with their own needs). As a whole, we have a backwards attitude about civilization; we strive for some hopeless thought of squeezing every ounce of productivity out of businesses (to feed investment markets and executives) without thought to the fact that the country needs to be productively employed. That neglect has a lot to do with the urban/rural divide. We have to get back to agricultural and manufacturing production in rural areas and quit skimming savings by manufacturing overseas to feed the urban corporate offices.

There is no free lunch. Both dems (in particular) and republicans need to understand that. Unemployed people will not starve in this country. You can either choose to produce in this country, or you can feed the non producing people through your taxes. We need to quit playing statistical games with terms like unemployment and get back to work. There's going to be a really hard lesson the day we as a country face the fact that we outsourced our future to a country on the attack. WW2 was all about self sufficiency ... when you forget history (especially through selective amnesia), karma is a bitch.

One of the three liberal Latino people I know tried to post on social media about how Latinos voting for Trump were committing some kind of race betrayal. Hilarious that his exact demographic went like 54% to Trump.

Democrats keep playing these race-baiting games time and time again. Most people are sick and tired of it. Will Democrats learn their lesson? Probably not.

I was wrong, but we were not discussing polling. I was talking Trump winning the popular vote, which he did, but not the EC. Why you are bringing things up out of context from a post 3 weeks is odd.

If Trump had kept the popular and kamala the electoral that new 15 state compact legally would have had to shift their electors to Trump and cost Kamala the election. lol. Backfire !!!

It's just unbelievable that so many of the looney leftists are convinced that they're losing elections because their candidate is a woman. No! You're losing elections because your policies are crap. I don't know a single person that votes based on gender or race. Get a grip!

Until the Democrats come up with a more centered candidate, unwilling to cater to the fringe, they're going to struggle in Presidential elections going forward.

funny too that we did see some resurgence of TB under Biden...

One of the last straws for my wife working at an immigration firm was the activist lawyer 1) helping a TB-positive "asylum seeker" from Nepal alter his medical records, and 2) not disclosing that the dude had active TB to her employees til she asked them to start altering the medical records (2 days later).

Not your party yet you continue to carry their water

I continued to, and still do, carry the water against Trump, who I consider to be a conman and totally undeserving of office. But that ain't my call, so I sit back and see if he rises to the occasion. I doubt it, based on his past, but I'd be more than happy to be surprised.
