Hm, any new polls of note?
And any estimate on what percentage (roughly, of course) of the expected voters already voted by mail?
There's no reason for Puerto Rico to not be a state.
Not many more than in 2016. The difference is only noticeable among the older, 50+ and especially 70+ voters. And the cause is the virus, not any eagerness to participate in the election. Neither candidate will cause any unusual enthusiasm. The younger ones will mostly not vote again. It's looking like a repeat of 2016...
There is one simple reason: independence.
DC is constitutionally barred from being a state, I doubt those talking about it take the idea seriously. In fact this looks like an election where the result will be rather irrelevant for internal policy. Foreign policy, that's different.
French cuisine is way too pretentious. Its good, sure, but to quote Peter Griffin... "It insists upon itself."Poor French. Not even mentioned.
This is a perfect example of what I said earlier. If you personally were declaring voting for Biden, I'd bet the house on Biden winning Iowa, because that would be a strong indicator that Trump had completely hemorrhaged support among a significant portion of a constituency that would ordinarily be a layup for a normal, competent Republican candidate. But the fact that you are still saying "Biden? Nope" tells me Trump still has a glimmer of hope in Iowa, regardless of how its polling.Nah, Biden has way more signs in the upper blue rural corridor than in 2016. I think Iowa might be in play. I'd still lean Trump on calling that state, but ehhh. I wouldn't take any bets. Trump has signs up too. I'll be wrong if I'm wrong, but Biden is a better candidate than Clinton was. By a lot. We'll see how much voting being a dangerous pita holds back the less likely to use their time on the social obligation.
I think the election outcome will depend very much on how Trump's (mis)handling of the coronavirus crisis is felt by those older generations. There is evidence that many are worried - the rise in distance voting concentrated in those age groups.
@Farm Boy that area you know as an older or younger population overall?

I cannot let this pass
Peter said he didn't care for it. So you can't think its good and agree with Peter at the same time... unless you want to tear a hole in the space-time continuum.Spoiler :
... I actually agree with Peter Griffin about The Godfather. It's a good flick, very good. But ew.
Why would you just go and lie?
They inform me that small towns and the country are old, on average. Our first outbreaks were in the biggest cities. Our COVID numbers rights now are getting driven by small towns, regional cities, and prisons in those places. The medical care downstate isn't big city. I think they're right when they say this is going to hurt pretty bad, right at home, real fast.
Well sure but a ranked choice referendum on independence, status quo or statehood would probably end up in statehood wouldn't it ?
"Excited" to vote? Are they offering happy endings at the polling spots?
I plan on unenthusiastically voting for Biden as well, in the election I'm most motivated about in my lifetime.I did early voting today and voted for Biden. I'm hardly enthusiastic about the man but we need an administration change.
Dude, the blacks and injuns and his/herspanics and students and what-not pay taxes and still don't vote.There's no reason for Puerto Rico to not be a state, but for the other US territories, incorporations into Hawaii (for the pacific territories) and Maryland (which makes a lot more sense geographically than Virginia) for DC is probably a better sell than individual states. You get rid of the taxation without representation problem all at once and make it a lot harder for the GOP and its friends like Manchin to disagree.
Well, the whole point of the agreements was that the USA was on board, not that the USA would be turning to subsidise the exact opposite of the Paris Accords.Not exactly a dumpster fire backing out of this agreement almost none of the world is even abiding by. Not a very effective agreement to care strongly about.
Just hamfistedly seizing the presidency of the IDB for the US shows how much the US is willing to both injure and insult those who still view themselves as its allies.“Turning in your allies” is pretty aggressive. If that’s what asking another party to hold up their end of an agreement is, then Biden will probably be turning on his allies a lot too if he wins.
It uses too much avec.French cuisine is way too pretentious. Its good, sure, but to quote Peter Griffin... "It insists upon itself."
