    maybe Democrats weren't condescending enough to the Latino voters... did they even send Obama to scold them at the last minute??

    Seeing lot of political people speculating this could be another 1980-1992 generational draught for the dems.

  6. Everyone said that after Trump's first term too. Things can shift fast. Assuming Trump isn't on the ticket, JD Vance doesn't strike me as someone all the great at carrying the top of the ticket in the same way. Dude gives off the same smarmy vibes people hate about dem consultant candidates.

    never discount the dems ability to learn the absolute wrong lessons from this

    the losing streak could be twice as long

    1980 was a lopsided wipeout of epic proportions, Raegan won by almost 10 points. Harris is gonna lose this by a point and by a few hundred thousand votes in 3 swing states. We have no idea what’s going to happen the next 12 years, especially since voters have thoroughly proven at this point that there’s very little rhyme and reason to their voting patterns

    So if this is 1980 and it follows the same pattern we should get Mayor Pete getting destroyed by JD Vance after an embarrassing campaign video of Mayor Pete trying to fly a drone in full military uniform gets released in 2032.

    Yeah a 1932-1952 New Deal Dems style 20 year reign of MAGA would be crazy.

    Ultimately, this is sort of an ad for a news service, but it's also extremely intriguing. In the spirit of the channel, it's approaching politics through an 'engineering / scientific' point of view, but it's interesting nonetheless.

    EDIT - Since it's not clear from the title, it's about political bias, and how to cognitively avoid its pitfalls.
