The Eternal Alcohol Consoomer

So anyway back to New York possibly losing an EC vote in 2024

Why might it be losing the EC vote?

Big deal, they're still sitting on a comfortable 28 if that happens. CA will likely get bumped up to 60 after the census.

Just population change?

Electors are appointed based on population counts from the Census performed every decade.

I want to smash them but we're not going to get NY or CA or ME.

We want to help

Everyone is fleeing NY because of crippling taxes. The losing more and more people

Upstate is not shrinking as much

NYC certainly is

The taxes are a factor, but the rent crisis/high minimum wage is a bigger one

rent crisis, as in, rents are too high?

Upstate doesn't have those peoblems

Rents are too high and there is no construction to fix the issue

Because rent controlls are fun.

Look I am sorry and I appreciate the effort but it is not going to happen. AT best if we can beat them badly enough that they feel threatened in NY and CA they might retreat from their more socialist policy.

To be fair, ME only went blue in 2016 by 22,142 votes - Hillary won by 0.04% more votes than Trump

There's a strong change Maine could vote Red in 2020.

AH meant MA.

Maine could yeah

If the city was deleted new York would be as red as Alabama

MA - not a chance in hell. Almost a Million more votes went Blue in a state with only 3.2 Mil voters.

Yeah i saw a county election map and upstate is fucking redder than Texas

And thats coming from a East Texan

Yeah

But we are also basically all atheist

It's hilarious

I'm still going with Reuters on 2020 being a Republican landslide.

Oh yeah the only way Trump and the Republicans lose is hubris.

I think it's because of NYC we are so red. Like we literally have the British/American situation in miniature

Because NYC has a majority of the house and Senate in the state.

DemonRats are to fractured and weak.

Unpopular policies and Identity Politics aside, they lack a strong or charismatic candidate.

Besides, we all know the DNC will choose Biden by default.

Do we?

The debates are a waste of time. Bernie and Warren will be SOL for the Iowa Caucuses and Super Tuesday with the Dem-inspired Senate Impeachment Trial.

They have been pushing Warren hard

Yes. Warren and Bernie as Senators will be stuck in the Trial rather than campaigning - they're essentially out.

My prediction Biden becomes nomine with Warren as his running mate
