Every single vote counts... unless you live in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia or Wyoming.

Encouraging voting is an important message, but doing so in a way that gives lousy electoral systems more credit than they deserve hurts our chances to change those systems. The electoral college (amongst others) renders a lot of votes irrelevant.

I find the fishing for sympathy to be poor form on their part. He should have resigned immediately after winning in 2016 if he found the job so taxing.

He likes showing people around the White House.


That’s basically the most positive thing I’ve ever read about Trump being president. Although he’s probably woefully unqualified for that too.

I would pay for a White House tour from Trump. It would be hilarious.

Biden will actually put reasonable people in top positions and not just his buddies and anyone who will kiss his ass. Also, I will be surprised if its not a dem trifecta in 2 years time so its a MASSIVE difference
You must be thinking of someone else, I've called this election for Biden for a long time.

I doubt the Dems will get congress and the senate. The senate race in this election was probably more important than the presidential race.

In fact there's a good chance that the GOP will retake congress in two years. The Democrats were vastly too optimistic in this election, and it showed in how close it all has been.

In fact, if the outcome ends up being GOP Senate, Dem POTUS and congress - that might actually be ideal for everyone all around. The country rids itself of a polarizing leader, instead installing a glorified vegetable (win). The Senate will gridlock any sort of overly progressive agenda, which the american people in general don't want (win). Biden is happy, because he doesn't need to do much of anything, but still gets to blame Mitch for the gridlock (win for Biden). The Democrats get to try to retake their party from the crazy wokies so they can get back to basics (win). The GOP gets to move on to the next generation of GOP leaders sooner than later (win).

I doubt Trump even knew what the day-to-day duties of a president were until he became president.

It was the first thing close to a job he ever had in his life.

He still doesn’t know what the day to day duties of the president are.

I was referring to the debates, but not the election. Biden actually ended up doing better than I thought in the debates, but Trump lost a lot of what go him so much attention in the 2016 debates. He was a boor in 2016 as well, but he could be a funny boor. He lost that in 2020 debates.

Instead of putting him in prison they should put him in a zoo. Give him all the McDonald’s and Fox News he can handle. I would pay to be able to show up and harass him while taking pictures of him. Trump supporters would show up too. It’s be bigger than Disneyland.

I bet that attraction would balance the budget in no time. Especially if I could pay extra to fling poop at him. They could lock up his family with him. It’d be like an exhibit of ######ed chimps.
