146. That thread was a smorgasbord of Wrong Way Thinking

Mon Oct 19, 2020, 08:28 PM

Oct 2020

I don't know how I missed it. It is everything I don't respect...extreme short-term overreaction on every level.

Regardless, a person can be a classic Wrong Way Thinker in terms of probability, and still have good sources. I'm willing to see what happens.

The OP also has good grasp of demographic realities like percentage of the white vote needed by Biden in certain states

My best advice to Wrong Way Thinking is always to envision all those thousands cars zipping down the freeway across the country. Those occupants don't care about today's developments. They don't even know it happened. That's why the outcome is not going to include resignation or anything similar
