  • I would argue democrat donors preferred a trump win and preferred dem turnout be low because they had a decent campaign for a second and shut it down.

    What your saying only makes sense if you operate from the idea dems want to win and not that they want to hand a victory their donors.

    In 2016 actual democrat operative tried to twistpeople’s arms to vote. This election that energy did not come from the mainstream democrats. Their pitch was “we don’t need you, we want republicans instead”.

    The calculus is different when you recognize both parties hate you.




  • Its just corporations having it both ways:

    When corporations benefit: Americans can read like 900 pages of fine print a minute and are all legal scholars.

    When it doesn’t benefit corps: Americans are cows, its offensive you’re trying to make these morons fill out multiple choice papers, they might accidentally poke out an eye on the pens.

    Reality: people have limits but RCV ballots are not too complicated. We see it all the time with roundabouts. When new roundabout is put in a few drivers take some time to adjust but eventually they figure it out.

    The change is harder to deal with than the actual thing.
