Yavin4's JournalBiden is now only 26,179 votes away from a 6 million vote victory over Trump!
Biden gained 62,536 votes today. Trump loses every day now. In the courts, in the popular vote, with his own party. Lose. Lose. and Lose some more.

The US is failing the pandemic because Republican elected leaders won't have to face any backlash
from their voters. They don't care about Democratic voters at all, just their voters.
Trump, or no Trump, our democracy, our politics, and our government is fundamentally broken. Beyond even the repair of the election of Biden. President Biden will still have to deal with Republican governors who flat out ignore basic public health measures which could have saved lives.
We've moved beyond partisanship and are now in a full blown tribalist state. Even a major national health crisis cannot stop Americans from putting their political interests over their own lives.
Biden heading for a 6 million vote lead in the popular vote, a 3.8% lead
Biden - 79,524,359
Trump - 73,613,074
He's less than 100,000 away from a 6 million vote lead. And he may get to 80,000,000 votes.

What was the last movie you saw in the theater, and when was it?
For me, Parasite back in February.
Updated Chevy Chase catchphrase: "President Donald J. Trump has still lost the 2020 election."
"Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow."
Why we say "OK" - Origin of the word
We have to accept that there are huge blocs of voters that will never vote for Democrats
The bickering over how the campaigns and elections went is a waste of time. There is no magic messaging that the Democrats can use to convince almost half of the electorate to come over to our side. It's just not happening.
So, what should Democrats do?
First, govern effectively. Joe Biden is the perfect Democrat to do this. Good, strong effective policy prescriptions with broad support in the House may indeed break through in the senate with massive public pressures put Mitch McConnell in the senate.
Second, grow the base from young voters. Biden increased Hillary's advantage among young voters aged 18-29, and this is where the Democrats should focus their attention and efforts. Trump's biggest advantage was among voters 65 and over, most of whom won't be around in 2024.
Combining these two steps, effective governing and appealing to young people, could come in the form of college debt relief and sell it as a stimulus measure to get the economy going post-covid.
Stop focusing on trying to win over voters who believe that you are the devil incarnate. Their hatred of us has move to the irrational stage. The way forward is to replace them electorally, not waste time trying to placate them.
