I bet much of the Democratic turnout will be driven by Lord Dampnut also, though.

I have no idea how much of a factor that will be in driving people to the polls on election day. I hope it's big, but I've never seen politics like this before. That, and uncertainty about the pandemic's effect makes this an entirely unpredictable election.
My nightmare is that it will be a contested result that comes down to counting absentee ballots and recounts in multiple states.

The biggest problem in the states is the electoral college set up by the republicans. Democrats get popular vote and Republicans win under electoral college because of redistricting.
Here is the Georgia voting problem from CBS reporting. I forget where i seen the more in depth video but there was a report of the republican in charge of voting in the state using Covid-19 to suppress the vote of Democrats. He suppressed the vote by removing places to vote in the poor democrat areas but not rich republican voting places. Saying he closed those because of Covid-19 problems. Poor people had to stand in line for up to 8 hours to vote where rich republicans could just walk in/ walk out of voting in minutes. Look for more of this in the presidential vote.

Redistricting/gerrymandering doesn't affect the electoral college results, mostly just the U.S. House and state legislature races.
But yeah, Republican efforts to suppress turnout are getting bolder and more blatant. They are pursuing a strategy that doesn't require winning the national popular vote or winning over independent voters. It's dirty, ugly, and increasingly undemocratic. And to think I was once a party member...

The GOP has no choice but to fight the bad fight to the bitter end. Stealing the next election is the only hope they have of surviving as a party and the only hope that many of them have of escaping investigation and prosecution.
Trapped animals are dangerous.

Science should NOT get in the way of sending kids back to school. So says Kayleigh McEnany.

I dont understand from the beginning he said i am going to be an asshole. He got chosen.
At least he paid himself for his campaign.
Btw if You believe in politicians being honest persons who care about country and people.
WAKE THE FUCK UP !! it is about time.
Democracy works only without capitalism and with well educated society.

It's not just the fact that Trump is corrupt, it is the scale and savagery of his corruption. While plenty of politicians will take more then their share, Trump is destroying the sources of that wealth. Trump will torch the orchard so he can have a baked apple.
BTW. Trump didn't pay for his campaign and while he donates his salary to the country, he reaps many times more in illegal, thieving scams and schemes. That doesn't include the destruction of the Constitution, the fomentation of civil war and selling the USA out to Russia.
So if I may borrow a phrase... WAKE THE FUCK UP!
