New surveys of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania taken this week offer the latest indication of a dramatic reversal in standing for the Democratic Party since President Biden abandoned his re-election bid.
that’s not really the case though. conservatives are a minority. the main reason they get to power is because 1. your democracy is fucked and popular vote doesn’t even elect the president, and 2. gerrymandering and voter suppression.
don’t be fooled by the so-called 49%, that’s 49% of people who vote. most US elections are won by whoever comes second to “did not vote” because apparently “did not vote” can’t be president.
and sometimes it’s whoever comes third even, because fuck voters. and that’s almost always the republican, losing popular vote to both “did not vote” and the Dem who comes second, but still gets the presidency.
