    Actually no, they don't!

    Early voting and absentee ballots are typically used by minorities who have difficulty taking time off work to go and vote.

    Why do primarily minorities have difficulty taking time off to go and vote? Doesn't WI require employers to give employees time off to cast their ballots in an election?

    Or...the Democrats could run a real donkey for President (4 legged donkey not a 2 legged donk) and win bigley with ballot harvesting like how the donks did it in the midterms in California.

    trump won 46 electorial votes by 1% or less margin. Wisconsin 10, Pennsylvania 20, and Michigan 16 — if you bump that margin up to 1.1% you can also add Florida 29.

    Comparing the 2016 electoral map to how voters went in 2018 trump may lose Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan — Florida is still highly polarized but no Republican has won the election without Florida in decades. While presidential election years can not be directly correlated to those in the interim, below is a map if they even remotely stay the same:

    If Democrats run someone that is even remotely competitive and has a message it could be an interesting election. If they run another candidate that most people don’t like and ignore the primaries trump will pull off another marginal win.

    They can't afford to not be paid for the time it takes them to go and vote.

    I don't click posted links to read someone's opinion piece. I will discuss opinions on the Forum with members. It's always best to think for yourself, speak for yourself, and not promote others. Opinion articles don't persuade me.
    --On the subject of "voter suppression". Those who say republicans are trying to suppress the dem vote by restricting polling hours or requiring voter ID are admitting the democratic voter is a poor, low discipline, low energy person who doesn't have the smarts to vote with a mail-in ballot, or figure out a way to get an ID, or can only vote after 7 PM. If that is the case then maybe it's best that that person not make a decision on who is best to lead our country.

    Why does everyone on the left assume that minorities are poor and need help with EVERYTHING

    Basically the restoration of the blue wall is also the restoration of our suffrage under democratic incompetence. Give it another 10-15 years for a new great depression, I'll even predict the start of the crisis: The absolute lunacy that is medicaid for all. The program is bankrupt with just senior citizens, it's under no condition to massively expand but having failed to learn from the ACA, we're going to endure a much huger poison pill.

    Happy yuge taxes! Hey, at least Trump's gone :)

    Except there are many whites who have such jobs also. So it doesn't just affect minorities.

    Get real. Trump didn't 'win' anything. He was handed the presidency by the Electoral College. Lesson here, is don't count your chickens...

    https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/21/poli...y-clinton-popular-vote-final-count/index.html

    More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.

    The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

    The United States is the only first world nation that does not guarantee healthcare for its citizens. We also spend double per capita than any other nation while receiving a lower level of care. Spending more and getting less is not a valid definition of “winning”.

    Only a BLOTUS supporter would think that white people have jobs! Educate yourself!

    Every president is "elected" by the Electoral College. Trump was "handed" nothing. Playing with words is cute but it does nothing for a debate

    Where do you come up with this made up nonsense ? Living in some fantasy world - full of accusations right of of dreamland - only serves to exacerbate the partisan divide in this nation.

    Try shooting arrows straight for a change. It is not like there is any lack of truthful material to attack Trump with.

    I just posted this to a poster who was attacking trump with falsehoods -
    " Where do you come up with this made up nonsense ? Living in some fantasy world - full of accusations right of of dreamland - only serves to exacerbate the partisan divide in this nation.

    The exact same applies to you - except change the name Trump to Liberals.

    Dems do not want "open borders" - Dems to not want abortion after delivery. Aside from the fallacious generalization - this is nonsensical falsehood.

    Second - what does the "Green Dream" - which I agree is way over the top - have to do with the Socialist Agenda ? WTF are you talking about.

    Last - are you not aware that Red Establishment are even bigger "Socialists" than Blue - certainly with respect to wealth redistribution.

    Reform the drug companies and administrative costs before making government the sole provider of Health Care. Which BTW will make costs higher. There's no argument to cover the fact that medicaid is already bankrupt serving just senior citizens! This isn't red or blue, this is numbers crunching. We suffered this to an extent with the ACA and at least that kept private insurance so it wasn't as bad.

    But completely eliminate private insurance and that's hundreds, not tens of thousands, over 100 M citizens added to the system.

    And while I'm at it, I'm going to debunk Krugman's theory on health care. You know, the whole "Young, healthy people can subsidize the care of the elderly". There's two critical flaws with the theory: 1: It presumes(with absolutely zero basis in fact) that the "Young, healthy people" will actually remain such. Then there's 2: That said people who are either in college or voc. tech or full time workers can actually afford it(This is partly why they themselves ended up dipping into the subsidies themselves, if they didn't outright make the financially prudent decision not to opt-in at all which ended up undermining the subsidies market itself.

    Because of these factors, even though health insurance companies saw it as a de-facto bailout due to the individual mandates they didn't anticipate the huge surge of costs due to increased medical usage(Combined with the fact that Health Care is an inelastic market) Meaning that health supplies will never match the massive demand. This was made worse with the health plans wherein by law, plans had to cover other items that otherwise wouldn't have been on there. But be rest assured, even without that stupidity the costs would've increased.

    It just guaranteed it. In short, medicaid for all is the ACA x 100. And it's why I can guarantee you, we will enter a depression near the end of
    a democratic presidents first term. And like I said before: Can't blame Trump for this one.

    Too bad they were all located in NY/CALI. If this were the Liberal States of America, HRC is president. Tragically for her, the midwest and the South exist thus depriving her of the presidency.
