| jpk4q2e,14j6ot5,Biden Leads Trump in Would-Be 2024 Election Rematch in NBC Poll,"If it helps, remember that Republican states have done everything in their power to disenfranchise democratic leaning populations. Every time a poll references likely voters, registered voters, etc. they are reproducing this policy, not the beliefs of the populace. | |
| For specific context, the poll referenced was *massively* weighted towards older voters and non-hispanic voters. The non-hispanic white population is something like 58%, with \~19% of the populace being Hispanic and a majorty of those being white. In the referenced poll *4%* of the population was Hispanic, and 72% of the poll was white. It also undercounted blacks (12% in the poll versus 13%...But remember, there is an extra 15% white here) which skews the results even more. | |
| Age wise it's also hilariously biased. The biggest poll groups are the 55-69 crowd, meaning the poll is unironically filled with boomers. If you look at just retirees it's the second largest pop group (overlapping boomers ofc.) | |
| The truth is that the Republican parties power is entirely demographic. The younger generations hate their fucking guts forever, with no restraint on their violent and ingrained vitriol. Meanwhile Boomers worship the ground Republicans walk on. Once the boomers die the Republican party is fucked and dead, buried and gone. Their increasing desperation to destroy democracy is rooted in that inescapable fact. This is their last chance to retain power, and they know it. | |
| In truth, their opportunity probably already passed. A strict majority have strongly unfavorable opinions of Trump. They just don't *really* like Biden either...And this is in a hugely Republican weighted poll.",44,2023-06-26 06:17:13 | |

Ask yourself what a 7+ million vote lead matters when Trump is begging the GA SoS for about 12k votes. Here’s how he would’ve won with less than 43k votes: | |
| Step 1: Trump beats Biden in AZ by receiving 10,458 more votes. | |
| Step 2: Trump wins GA by receiving 11,780 more votes. | |
| Step 3: Trump takes WI by getting 20,683 more votes. | |
| NOTE: That’s 42,921 votes. That’s all he needed across those three states for the following to occur… | |
| Step 4: Trump and Biden would be tied at 269-269 for the Electoral College. The vote would then go to the House of Representatives to decide POTUS. | |
| Step 5: It isn’t a straight party line vote, so Democrats holding the House in 2020 means as much as the popular vote does… nothing. It is decided by state “delegations,” 26 of which are required to elect the next POTUS. Democrats had control of 20 state delegations, three were tied, and 27 were Republican controlled delegations. | |
| It shouldn’t be any stretch of the imagination how Republicans would have voted. | |
| Step 6: Trump is re-elected. Joe Biden writes a book called “What Happened This Time.” The country spirals harder into right wing fascist theocracy with the corporate oligarchy behind the curtain.. | |
