    An ability to name prominent people within a cohort is highly anecdotal reasoning. Regardless, gen x is a smaller cohort than gen y and z. The preference among minority groups was still favorable...

    An ability to name prominent people within a cohort is highly anecdotal reasoning. Regardless, gen x is a smaller cohort than gen y and z. The preference among minority groups was still favorable to the democrats across the board, it wasn't enough to turn Florida blue, but as more gen y and z begin voting while the silent and boomers fade out, it will be enough.

    Desantis won in 2018 49.6% to 49.2%, he's done a lot to Trumpify himself and Florida and it will likely pay off in 2024, but that itself will be driving young Floridians away from the GOP. Speaking of 2018, it saw the greatest youth turnout of any midterm election, and because of that, Democrats gained control of the house.

    Voting happens on both sides. Voting didn't prevent Republicans from blocking Obama's pick because republican supporters voting enabled their representatives to block Obama's agenda. I guarantee...

    Voting happens on both sides. Voting didn't prevent Republicans from blocking Obama's pick because republican supporters voting enabled their representatives to block Obama's agenda.

    I guarantee you that if people don't turn out and give democrats a functional majority, things will only get worse. If something is essential, which I agree with, then it strikes me as strange to say that it is the least important part.

    If the Dems can't get it together and hold congress and the presidency for the next 10 years, then it will take 30+ years before this is remedied at the national level.

    80,000 votes in the right states in 2016 and Roe would have been preserved.

    Younger and minority voters are ascendant. Also, older people have a tendency to become dead people.

    Absolutely, but as quickly as things have turned in their favor, they can turn back, especially if people stop putting the illusion of being a millionaire with low taxes over other people's rights...

    Absolutely, but as quickly as things have turned in their favor, they can turn back, especially if people stop putting the illusion of being a millionaire with low taxes over other people's rights and abandon the GOP.

    The GOP can no more legislate trans people away than they could legislate gay people away in the 80s and 90s when it was a widely bipartisan effort. The GOP can make lives hard for people, but society is progressing and their attempts to oppress will backfire.

    Hopefully, I'm right and this lights a fire in people and they realize the harm in being lazy in the midterms and letting power slip back into the GOP's hands. It shouldn't have had to take this.

    They are going to try to do these things. They very likely may succeed in the short term, but the reality of modern society and emerging demographics are not in their favor.
