Blade Posted July 23 Posted July 23 exactly how I feel, I thought we'd be scrambling to unify by the convention week 6
Thuggin Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Let's not get carried away. Costs of gas, groceries, etc. and interest rates are still high and that won't be changing in the next few months. There are too many people in the country who will vote just on the economy, as they did in 2020 when the pandemic killed Trump's chances of re-election. It's going to be close, and I think demographic shifts only have marginal impact compared to 2020. It'll come down to the states Clinton lost yet again. I see AZ and GA as outliers just as IN and NC were in 2008. Yes, they're trending blue but I don't think they're going to be going Democrat on the Presidential level in back to back elections just yet. She also shouldn't take NH for granted, and she shouldn't give up on NV. 1 2
anti-bitch Posted July 23 Posted July 23 And I mean, in demographics America is becoming more colorful and (openly) queer every day. That should be raining in Democrats bucket. They just need someone who could energize all these people to vote. May that be Kamala

19SLAYty9 Posted July 23 Posted July 23 What about Tim Walz? A veteran, former teacher, former football coach, former congressman, and now governor of Minnesota.

But that 5% rent increase cap Joe Biden mentioned last week was interesting though. I wonder if Kamala will run with it 1

There's also slightly more Asian & Latino voters there than in 2020 She just needs to do similar margins to Biden in the suburbs & Independents and she probably has a chance if her campaign keeps picking up.

Blade Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Kamala needs to lay out her ideas to combat inflation by blaming Trump's tax cuts mishandling of covid and entire presidency for the inflation in the first place. 1 1

Alaska gave us Mike Gravel (and folk singer Jewel) so not too much on the most beautiful (but cold) state of America

americanlife Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Just saw on Fox News. Jesse Waters show showed some polls, young voter favorability was one of them. Trump was like 58% and Kamala was 39%. What kinda misinformation….

Sannie Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Yes, the economy is important, but the past few elections have shown people are willing to vote for their safety and their rights over the economy. On top of that, a lot of people are fine with the way the economy is doing for themselves, but they have a negative outlook on the economy overall. I think that's why so many people Are less likely to vote based on the economy since they themselves are doing well.
shelven Posted July 24 Posted July 24 1 hour ago, Blade said: Hm no. They're still going to be hard to get. The difference compared to NC, WI, MI, and PA is that all those have been trending red based on their demographics. AZ and GA were and are trending blue based on demographics. Yeah, people seem to forget that not all the swing states move in the same direction every election cycle. It's absolutely possible for the national environment to favour one party, but certain states to move the other way. Virginia and Colorado have moved left even in recent strong GOP years. And Florida's a very memorable example of a state that firmly shifted right even when most other swing states that year moved left. On paper, Harris should be stronger in the Sun Belt than the Rust Belt, so her campaign would be dumb not to at least fight in AZ and GA. If she were strapped for cash and could only pick one path, the Rust Belt would probably still be the safer path, but money's not exactly going to be a problem for her at this rate, so she may as well go for both.

She also shouldn't take NH for granted, and she shouldn't give up on NV. Millenials and Gen Z are the largest voting blocks now and let's just say they likely aren't answering calls from pollsters. That's not to say it won't be tough for Kamala, she still has to put in the effort to get them to turn out to vote, but if she can excite them and give them a reason to vote, she'll win. Gen Z pretty much stopped the expected "red wave" in 2022 and I think they'll make more a difference this year than polling may suggest. That's why Biden was headed for disaster. Young voters felt apathetic towards him and the political process and it WAS setting Trump up for victory. Also, I'm aware that inflation is relevant to younger voters as well, but anyone under 50 knows the GOP won't fix ****. As a millenial, I've spent my entire life watching the GOP shoot down any and every legislation that would benefit people. Edited July 24 by Mike91 5

Whenever I think of how horrible this can be, I look at the election results and see that even if you're in the minority, hundreds of thousands of people still voted like you. 1 1
