We should impeach

And name every crime we think Trump may have committed.

Not to remove him, but to prevent a pardon. The constitution explicitly carves out cases of impeachment when defining presidential pardon powers

They could still argue that the pardon doesn't apply to impeachment but on DoJ proseuctions....but thats something we could fight.

Biden should let Trump join his administration.

To appease republicans. I think that since Trump founded the Space Force we should honor that and appoint him to the newly created Ambassador to the Andromeda Galaxy and immediately dispatch him on a diplomatic mission there to make contact and use his super negotiation and development skills to build a new BEAUTIFUL EMBASSY.

• President-elect Joe Biden is expected to nominate Jake Sullivan as his national security adviser and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United...

A latino immigrant will be leading DHS now.

This is pretty clear.

Not perfectly linear, but the negative correlation is very clear. As countermeasures increase, hospitalizations decrease.

Been working on a map of election results

showing changes in the Democratic margin of victory between 2016 and 2020 in most US countries. Interesting.

Note that the map doesn't show Alaska or Hawaii. Also, keep in mind that the data is preliminary and some states are still nowhere near done counting. I'd expect results to change a lot in NY, CA, and MA from this map and a final version with full updated data. Again, this is a preliminary, draft version of the map. I plan on doing a lot more on it and with the data when we have finalized results.

In this map, the redder an area, the more the margin moves to Republicans and vice versa in the blue. This isn't who won the county, but who improved their margins there vs. 2016.

Can everyone do me a favor to poke Trump?

When the final map is done for 2020......print one off and mail it to Trump. I'd like to mail him a couple million of them if possible.

He loved to hand out maps of 2016, let's return the favor.

First day in office

Two things I can think of Biden can do on his first day.

1: Rejoin Paris Climate Accords

2: Rejoin World Health Organization.


Add your items.

Joe Biden just became

the first Democrat to win GA in a Presidential race in 28 years.

There aren't enough votes out there to get Trump back in the lead. Almost everything left is going to pad Bidens leads now.

Should we move away from immigration....

as a major part of our party platform?

We just ran against a guy who called hispanic immigrants murders and rapists, railed about "caravans". Rounded up peoples relatives and deported them at a huge rate (including some citizens). Locked kids in cages in places with rampant disease and abuse. Effectively orphaned 500 kids. Attacked "Dreamers". Split up families....

I actually can't even keep up with everything he's done but he spent the past 5 years demonizing immigrants.......and apparently it was such a great message that he made serious inroads with Hispanic voters with that message. There's a really good chance we would have won TX and Florida had the Hispanic vote that Clinton got stayed with us.

So, convince me why we should keep this as an issue when it is clearly not helping us.
