    You run too far left and you lost the rust belt. Who are you picking up to replace their votes? Traditionally the play had been to whine about the electoral college and wish we had a different system, but we don’t so the question remains.

    But as an aside I don’t owe you any fucking explanations and in any event I certainly don’t speak for the people you’re pissed at. I have one agenda here and that’s to keep a fascist from taking over. Democrats and Biden are the means to that end. But I don’t actually give two shits about party. I enjoy conversations about this stuff. Gives me interesting things to think about and often new perspectives to consider. But the way you are treating me here is not cool and not fun.

      Yeah, unions are super unpopular in the rust belt. It’s great how we abandoned them for so long. Moving to the right and away from unions sure helped us there.
