Democrats debate Biden effort to expand map against Trump

Source: The Hill

Democrats say Joe Biden’s campaign should go big and expand the map to try to give the former vice president several paths to 270 electoral votes and the possibility of a landslide victory over President Trump.

“We’re running against a guy who cares deeply about size and numbers,” said one Democratic strategist. “The best way to tell him to go home is with a resounding defeat…That’s the only language he understands.”

Another Democratic strategist Joel Payne, put it this way: “You don’t want a squeaker if nothing else because you want a government mandate.”

A number of recent polls have indicated Biden has a healthy, double-digit national lead over Trump, and several of the surveys have also pointed to close races in states such as Texas and Georgia, where Republican presidential candidates in recent years have been confident of victory.

Yes, but...

Clinton lost because her team focused on expanding the election map WITHOUT first locking down her base voters (assuming that Obama voters would automatically vote for her without persuasion.

Biden has the opportunity to expand his EV margin as long as he balances that effort with locking down the old school battleground (rust belt) States.

Reddit, Acting Against Hate Speech, Bans 'The_Donald' Subreddit

Source: New York Times

SAN FRANCISCO — Reddit, one of the largest social networking and message board websites, on Monday banned its biggest community devoted to President Trump as part of an overhaul of its hate speech policies.

The community or “subreddit,” called “The_Donald,” is home to more than 790,000 users who post memes, viral videos and supportive messages about Mr. Trump. Reddit executives said the group, which has been highly influential in cultivating and stoking Mr. Trump’s online base, had consistently broken its rules by allowing people to target and harass others with hate speech.

“Reddit is a place for community and belonging, not for attacking people,” Steve Huffman, the company’s chief executive, said in a call with reporters. “‘The_Donald’ has been in violation of that.”

Reddit said it was also banning roughly 2,000 other communities from across the political spectrum, including one devoted to the leftist podcasting group “Chapo Trap House,” which has about 160,000 regular users. The vast majority of the forums that are being banned are inactive.
