It is inherently difficult to do polling. It appears that in a massive KGB psyop it is impossible.
Not sure exactly how to do it, but the Dems need to regain at least a modicum of appeal to rural voters and middle class workers. Hell, DFL is supposed to be "Democratic Farmer Labor". They somehow have lost nearly the entire rural vote and a good portion of the middle class workers. Just look at nearly any state the Democrats won. In nearly every state the only areas the dems won were the urban and surrounding areas. If they could have won even 20% of the rural counties, the election would have been a landslide.
And you wonder why the Progressheviks under performed?
You should talk to someone about this, help is available.It is inherently difficult to do polling. It appears that in a massive KGB psyop it is impossible.
I don’t think you have any room to talk here considering you’re still denying Trump/Russia collusion in 2016 despite a massive, detailed report showing exactly that and one of the principals publicly releasing documents showing his collusion.You should talk to someone about this, help is available.
What report would that be? I'll have a look.I don’t think you have any room to talk here considering you’re still denying Trump/Russia collusion in 2016 despite a massive, detailed report showing exactly that and one of the principals publicly releasing documents showing his collusion.
Why are you playing dumb? The Mueller report clearly documents extensive collusion.What report would that be? I'll have a look.
And the only people that missed that collusion were Bob Mueller, his entire team, the House, and his lead man that the FBI canned for being an idiot.Why are you playing dumb? The Mueller report clearly documents extensive collusion.
Regardless, as linked before here’s the President’s son enthusiastically accepting Russia’s offer to collude on the 2016 election.
Also, the GOP has virtually taken over social media, especially Facebook and Twitter. The dems have done little.
This all in spite of the dems raising more money in 2016, more money since 2016, and more money for this election. Biden spent almost all of it on TV ads which likely have a diminishing return in effectiveness. He suspended their door knocking ground game for months because of COVID. But the ground game problem started well before that bad decision.
Are the dems going to get their act together and learn the right lessons from this? I'm not going to donate to DNC if they continue to use our money unwisely.
He did not miss it - as already mentioned it’s detailed in his report. I was just giving you the quickest and easiest example of collusion, which you notably did not dispute.And the only people that missed that collusion were Bob Mueller, his entire team, the House, and his lead man that the FBI canned for being an idiot.
You’re now mixing up terms and using other crimes Trump committed to try and excuse his collusion.Thw story is worn out, and saying it again and again won't make it true. Trump walked away from that fiasco because there wasn't enough evidence to impeach him. There isn't any way to spin that as proof of a crime being committed.
Trump will be gone shortly, it's time to get over it. The retribution you seek isn't going to happen.
They do in fact work on actions not yet performed because in large populations over time we can get a sense of when the average american says that how often they actually do it. It adds uncertainty, yes, but it is not some insurmountable problem.Because polling based on a question of "Will you perform an action in the future - and who would that person be?" is hilarious to try and pull statistics for. Statistics work - but they don't work on an action that hasn't been completed. Simply asking if they WOULD perform an action doesn't take into account how serious they actually are.
Just ask yourself in life - how many times have you asked someone - a coworker, a family member... even a spouse or your child "Did you do X like I asked?"
The Best answer and look who is being blamed.Simple answer. Socialism. Republicans succeeded in labeling candidates running under the Democratic Party as socialist. It worked not only in the presidential race but in multiple senate, house, and governorships. Republicans found something they could use against Democrats and it worked only because Democrats allowed it to work and failed to fight back when being labeled. It worked thus a hell of a lot voters were convinced. Actually, we’re damn lucky people hated Trump enough to allow Joe Biden to become the next president. It’s often said that republicans are better with running elections but terrible at governing. That’s so true.
As much as people want to talk about Trump’s clownishness most voters rated him highly on the economy and said they were better off today than four years ago. That usually means a win for the president.
Trump walked away because the GOP refused to hold him accountable. If there was no evidence why did Romney vote to convict? He doesn't need the approval of Trump to win his state, whereas lots of other republicans do.Trump walked away from that fiasco because there wasn't enough evidence to impeach him. There isn't any way to spin that as proof of a crime being committed.

You should ask a mod to change ur handle to Brandon Steershit.

I know how Trump did so well now.I think quite a few people here are loads more insightful than I am, I'm glad I checked in this thread, learned a lot of good points from everyone here. Thanks for that.
After read through some posts, I believe Democrats lacked the following as key areas to improve down the line:
(1) no ground game, spent most $$ on TV ads, this election has shown the power of Obama's use of ground game as superior to TV ads or virtual meet ups. Republicans used it and they proved it to be quite effective.
(2) Biden didn't run on policy, didn't say what he'll do, unlike Obama, it's all about Trump. Anti-trump isn't a good reason to vote for Biden, it may spur on in-party voters but definitely not going to inspire too many votes on policies, because you got none. End up w/ enough vote against trump but nothing on down ballots.
So for starters, Biden needs to talk about his agenda moving forward, he hasn't done that during campaign.
(3) I like how Republicans put things in simple terms, build wall, socialist, elitists, death panel, obamacare etc. words that are simple and effective to convey the message that evokes feeling. Democrats need to learn that.
You are talking with average people not someone with PhD in English lit. And in campaigning you need simplistic emotion. I'd say Democrats should hire some Republican campaign managers and learn from them.
(4) I know Democrats have all these plan to save the planet, to do international trade etc. But you need to understand the consequence of those actions and how it affects the lives of rural communities. If you want to move in that direction, you need to pace it and make sure new jobs are waiting for people when the old ones disapear, otherwise you are incrediblly irreponsible and cruel.
