I would want to see a breakdown of non-voters by age bracket before I would comment on that.

I think it will be interesting to see where all the "new" voters came from. Was this just an across the board 10% (or whatever it was) increase, or was there a correlation with age/sex/race/etc.?

If only your party didn't live in an alternate reality carefully crafted for them over the last 40+ years. There will be lots of violence before this is all over. But I'm glad you're one of the 25% who actually acknowledges reality. I've been saying this forever, but right-wing media has been horrible for actual traditional conservatives too. Now your party is nothing more than a cult.

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2020/12/06/how-do-you-deradicalize-the-republican-party/

Anywho that's a great article. But I honestly think it's too late. There is no deradicalization coming after this many decades of brainwashing. We can only look to future generations.

That WAS a good read.

It's also not going to happen.

I can't see Biden using Federal resources to go after Trump, so any prosecution is only going to come from the states. To make it worse, I can almost guarantee that Trump will "poison pill" get them to hire a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden just before he leaves office.

As for the "sense of purpose", you know what could do that? The Green New Deal; rebuilding America to deal with inevitable climate change. But I don't think Biden has the chops to be able to sell that to the 50% of America that already scoffs at that idea.

No US president will ever go to prison, but if he does that will probably just increase his chances of winning the election (that's why they call it "The Mandela Effect").

I also agree that if he chooses to run in 2024, he will sweep the primaries.

Yeah, I don't really see him going to prison either but it is possible with some of those NY investigations. Likely they'll either amount to nothing or just quietly go away but they are things to consider.

MitchMcConnell posted...
No index fund is going to quintuple in value across 4 years (especially with a Biden economy).

Hmm, yes, I suppose I should have just done the math on this one. If you invested $1000, at a 6% return per year, after 4 years that puts you at about $1265, for a return of $265 or about 26%. I guess it comes down to what you think the odds will be closer to 2024. If you think you could get better odds then, invest now and bet later.

If he runs and is still alive and doesn't get thrown in prison (possible big IFs...), Trump will win the Republican nomination easy.

He's going to be spending the next 4 years doing exactly what he did as President (tweeting stupidity and holding rallies) without any of the responsibilities. And the media is going to lap it up ("Biden does Thing X, former President Trump tweets 'Thing X is disasterous and would never have been done under his administration'"). So he's going to remain in the public eye in a way most other recent former Presidents have not.

Having said that, I wouldn't feel confident about him winning the general election. But with Republicans spending the next 4 years obstructing any and everything...you just never know.

It's not the worst bet in the world but like someone else said, you'd likely have a better return sticking the money in an index fund and letting that ride.

Some people go by William, others by Bill or Billy. I don't see how that's much different then if someone prefers he or she or they.

I noticed that IMDB has been updated to refer to his past roles as "as Ellen Page". I know deadnaming can be a sensitive thing for transgender people, so I wondered if that was really the best approach. I think this is complicated by his standing as a public figure.

I know I'm not as strong as you -- when I started in the gym, my lifting goals were simply not to be upstaged by the girls who were basically just squatting the bar -- but prior to coronavirus I think I was at .75x bench, 1.25x squat, and 1.75x deadlift. Right now, I'd like to just see if I could get back toward those numbers. Of course, those numbers were on good days, and I have to remind myself of that, too.

My goals are aspirational. What I'm ABLE to do is short of that goal. I go to the gym and I read topics like this and there's ALWAYS someone who makes me feel like a weakling. So I try to use them as inspiration, especially if they're around my size/weight. In the end, you have to judge your progress against yourself not the guy a foot taller who's repping 4 plates per side.

I'm also not looking to set personal bests and kill myself every time I go to the gym. I tried that for a while, always trying to do more weight every session, and I ended up just hating myself (and sometimes hurting myself).

Now, I have a detailed plan and regiment that I follow to make sure that I don't burn myself out. Look up Wender 5-3-1, which I supplement with Boring But Big to get some volume. It's designed for long term gains over the course of years. Each session has only 1 maximal effort set that you build towards, so I don't get mentally fatigued. Plus, there's a "rest week" every 4 weeks.

Thanks. I did a bit of exercise today. It's hard not to think of it as 'this is something I'll have to keep up with every day for years' and get overwhelmed but I'll try to get something done. I'm not really cut out for a full workout right now but doing a couple push-ups or something is fine.

It helps to have goals for yourself, both long and short term. My long term goal is to be able to bench 1.5x my body weight, squat 2.0x, and deadlift 2.5x. Will I ever reach that goal? I don't know but it always helps me to have something to shoot for.

I don't think that (NoVA is Fake Virginia bs type stuff) was the intention meant there. It was just saying that if a Republican could manage to make inroads in that area of Virginia, the rest of the state being red would be enough to carry them across the finish line.

I don't think that's actually at all likely given how hard and total the rejection of the GOP has been there these past few years, but hypothetically if some Republican could do well there they might have a chance. It's not entirely without precedent when you have states like Maryland and Massachusetts electing quote-unquote "sane" Republicans for statewide office, up to and including governor, despite being safe blue states

xp1337 posted...
and also because again a good chunk of blue states like to elect republicans because the voters who support them (i. e. basically all voters outside the Republican party) value compromise and bipartisanship even as political warfare becomes more and more asymmetrical in this regard

Yes, this is precisely what I meant. Virginia has only turned blue because of the growth of Northern Virginia (i.e. the suburbs/exurbs of D.C.). But outside of Arlington and Alexandria, it wasn't that long ago that those same locations were red (or red-ish).

I could totally see a Larry Hogan type being able to win statewide office. Now some might call Hogan a RINO but from my perspective he seems to have done a pretty good job of generally being a decent governor in a neighboring state that is definitely more blue.

A wacko right winger or someone like Tommy Tuberville is NOT winning in VA like they could in more deep south states. But put up the current democrat Lt Gov Justin Fairfax (who's had some controversies) against a sensible candidate who happens to have an R next to their name? I'm just saying that it's a possibility.

Virginia to move forward with legalizing Marijuana. First state in the south. Will probably take a while, and hopefully our next Governor doesn't decide to undo it. But we should be fairly solid blue now. I don't think Justin Fairfax should run.

Virginia is only blue because of NoVA. While I think it's fair to say it's reliably blue at the federal level, at the state level I could totally see a non-crazy (i.e. center leaning) Republican taking the next governorship if they can move the needle in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.

Last time they saw the possibly sick person was Sunday. Told them they need to be in quarantine, which I know isn't going to happen because they have school age kids and people that can't work from home and won't take off. Plus, I know they'd lie/bend the truth about what they're doing anyway so "we can all spend the holiday together".

You are basically trying to argue Democrats have a whole bunch of power and aren't using it.

Its an overestimation of their ability.

The fact is the left doesn't want a biased network like Fox news, we'd never tune in. We are anti-authoritarian in that regard. It goes against our principles. We don't have left wing fox news because we -cant- have left wing fox news.

This isn't to say Democrats arent ineffective at using the media. This is the correct take. But to believe the left could have a fox news equivalent is delusional.

Not sure if the "You" you're referring to is me or someone else but...

Yes, I agree! And that's the "problem", in as much as it's a problem. By being a "big tent" party that doesn't adhere to a singular viewpoint, Democrats have a harder time selling their ideas. But also, there's a large contingent of Democrats don't want to just be spoon fed a narrative and not have to think.

If you're a Republican though, it's just "listen to Fox News and adhere to what they say". It's not exactly a surprise that Republicans are also the party more closely aligned with religion, "believing", and taking things on faith.

And yes, I know I'm painting in broad strokes here. There will always be exceptions that prove the rule.

The reason the Democratic Party is so bad at messaging is because it's a Big Tent Party. Republicans largely are in line with one another, with only a few differences. Democratic voters can range from people who like the ACA as it is, to people who want a public option but wouldn't touch Universal Healthcare with a ten foot pole, to people who want Universal Healthcare. We kind of have to fight each other over messaging, and it comes across as confusing to the American People. But then we also have to unite to fight against the Republican Party because they are antithetical to everything we all stand for.

Just going to leave these 2 quoted messages together, for no reason in particular.

There's nothing wrong with Trump demanding a recount. It's more the rhetoric he's using.

That's a lot of Trump in a nutshell. He presents stuff that would be amenable to a large chunk of the population (whether you agree or not) but presents it in the worst possible fashion. "Smart" Republicans want him out not because they disagree with him but because he has no tact and can't play "the game".

I think somewhere in the medium-worse (medium-rare?) zone is something like "Trump wants to jam people in there last-minute to cover-up/destroy evidence of wrongdoing that a not-Barr DoJ might be interested in."

That was my thought. Hopefully, if such a thing were to occur we'd have some valiant whistleblowers who would make this public.

I'm starting to get nervous that they're going to start shutting things down again "out of an abundance of caution" as we enter the "3rd wave".

Anyone else wear a mask while lifting? After trying a few options, I found a mask that doesn't suck into my nose/mouth when breathing heavy. With that resolved, I've seen no issues or decreased performance wearing it the entire time.

Thanks! I just wanted to see you remove the NOMINATE from the topic title.

One more batch of nominations (...wonder what I could have been watching lately...), then I'll stop:
Elizabeth Shue
Erin Moriarty
Dominique McElligott
Karen Fukuhara
Aya Cash
