Biden struggled with that electorate in the primaries. Also BLM is a huge target of misinformation.

Hispanic number but what about the Black vote? The number I see is +3 points Black women, +4 points Black men.

You mess with fracking you mess with the livelihoods of white women and their families. It’s unfortunate, but you can’t talk about killing an industry that employs a lot of white voters.

I think Trump support is more psychological than anything to do with the issues. If any politician did 1% of what Trump did it would be career suicide.

In this country that just want to be assholes (see: boat rallies, truck parades, Trump rallies, etc.) that this election could be this close.

Why do people want to be, or be like, these assholes?

Why don’t these assholes turn people off?

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan are fools gold for him unless he comes out of tonight with a big lead. All three could only start counting their mail-in vote this morning, it is possible that none of that has been reported, Joe appeared to have had a massive lead in that vote.
