It’s like you ignored every fruitful part of my post and just repeated your criticism.
The notion that suburban split tickets played a notable role in electing red congresspeople and a blue president is EXACTLY what you’re saying and it’s EXACTLY what headache was saying. That is suggesting that people in fact wanted the republicans but maybe didn’t want Trump. That’s NOT TRUE. The same people who voted for Trump in 2016 showed up for him in 2020 (and more). The most pronounced difference is that apathetic blue voters (or people who just hated Trump) who didn’t show up for Clinton showed up to destroy Trump.
Any suggestion that split ballots played a role and otherwise these voters voted for red congresspeople and senators is total bullshit. Nowhere do any numbers support that claim.
You going out there and projecting your claim as though it’s my claim is weak sauce. I never said “black voters just left the ballots blank la de da.” But I did say that you absolutely are discounting the fact that a non negligible amount of the population did in fact only vote for president, and to think that doesn’t play a role down ballot is naive.
More importantly, you widely just ignored the point about 4% of voters indicating they desired an R/D split ticket. You also seemingly ignored the notion that, much like the electoral college, congressional voting isn’t determined by a simple majority. It’s determined by how lines are drawn.
...............Totally misplaced anger.
Hot take machine the last two weeks, love ya or hate ya
You can join the long list of people currently offering no mathematical argument for your objection.
Was meant to be kudos. Oh well.
I do object to your repeated 'selfish, awful, parasitic' type characterizations of people who didn't vote the way you did, but that's beside the point. Comes with the territory in the forum.
But don't take your frustration out on me for not being accepted as a local heavy.
I think the lesson is that it’s not that there are “shy” Trump voters — there have been no bigger In-your-face assholes in all of American politics — but they are somehow invisible to polls.
It's just outrageous that the pandemic is surging and the Trump administration is saying and doing nothing about that. And obstructing the Biden transition at every turn.
I will never understand how anyone could even attempt to defend this insanity. It's indefensible.
I’m actually not even stressed by this. I’m just enjoying watching the wheels come off. And it feels great to be on the other side of it after the 2016 election.
