Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly-announced running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz held their first joint rally in Philadelphia before going on a tour of battleground states this week.
To be fair though, democrats don’t have a problem getting out to the polls, especially for national elections. No Republican has won the popular vote for 20 years; the only Republican wins in this time were based on technicalities.
I think what we’ll see in November is the same high voting numbers, but a much different demographics pivoting the central block from old centrists to younger progressives.
This is why Kamala and co need to release their plan to unfuck our election system, so we never have to deal with this bullshit again… If they don’t, the left needs to start pushing it
That’s the last legit Republican National win. He only won the popular vote in 2004 due to 9/11. He lost the popular vote in 2000 and won by Supreme Court decision.
That was also a colossal violation of the Constitution, because of probability and statistics.
I was too young to understand at the time, but I read that the conservative justices blocked the recount citing concern that the batch of uncounted votes might indicate an attempt by Democrats to steal the election.
But we can easily show that the uncounted batch was too small to change anything. Consider that, even if every single uncounted vote went to Gore, the resulting variance would still reside well within a statistical margin of error for that sample.
In other words, that election was the US’ first true tie in a presidential election since 1800. By the constitution it should have triggered a contingent election, which is the business of the legislative branch, NOT judicial.

But Bush did it … in 2004. Fuck, has it be 20 years already?

These fuckers HAVE to cheat to win.
