    The Republicans have never in the past 50 years objected to creating a single-party system, but they always figured it would be their party.

    Because 52 states was mentioned:
    If DC and PR were added as states, my honest response would be, "OK, cool."
    That having been said, DC has a right to statehood based on population, but it's smaller than most counties in the U.S. They'd get two senators (obviously) and two members in the House.
    Does PR want statehood? Right now, they live the best of both worlds. They have citizenship privileges but are an independent nation, plus they get paper towels thrown at them.

    Except for those pesky hurricanes, PR has it easy.

    In much the way voting against Hillary mobilized the GOP candidate's base in 2016, I have little doubt voting against the incumbent will motivate many millions of people who would have otherwise been unenthusiastic supporters of Biden.

    The idea that Biden needs to "excite" people the way Obama did is inherently wrong, IMO. Hillary didn't excite her own base, she worked her opponent's base into a frenzy and she still pulled 3 million more voters to her side. November is going to be the '98 Yankees, the '96 Bulls and Thanos all pulled into one. It is ... inevitable.

    So, we've recently seen a few of the worst days for the stock market in history, and we've seen a decent bounce back. All of that in the context of a 4 percent drop in GDP for Q1. What the hell would a 40 percent plummet in GDP do to Wall Street?

    I want to believe this and I think you’re correct.

    But right now I’m a boxer who can’t lift his gloves and is getting pummeled. But won’t go down.

    I’ll crawl belly first, naked, across a mile of broken glass mixed with hot sauce to vote to get this incompetent, hateful piece of garbage out of office.

    I hope a majority of the country, especially in key states, feels the same way. But I’m low on faith and trust in the American people.

    WHEN Dems flip the Senate and control all three branches, the first damn thing they need to do is address gerrymandering. It's the only way to stop the minority from ruling the majority.

    Completely anecdotally, while living in a state that only votes blue, I see TONS of political posts from previously disengaged voters I grew up with who are so disgusted by what's going on that they are planning to vote for Biden. I've literally seen at least dozen who claim to be voting for the first time even though they're 40ish.

    Biden may not excite the Democratic base. But the President excites them in a way that's going to spur them to the polls. He's going to get fucking steamrolled. And, in his style, he's going to be the biggest, greatest, record-breaking loser of an incumbent in the history of the USFUCKINGA.

    he forgot the forced gender reassignments and the abortion mills grinding up the babies from the myriad gay marriages what a decadent hellscape taxed at 70%
