Read an interesting article that said because of the impact of small states in the Electoral College that statistically it is more likely a close election will go to the GOP vs the Democratic candidate

So I am thinking that to turn some states that are purple into blue ones, people who can work from home or travel for work and basically just need airport service should consider relocating to areas that are poised to turn blue soon—relocate from say a heavily Dem majority state like CA to Kentucky and help push McConnell out—vote for McGrath...
In TX they could oust Cornyn and give TX electoral votes to a Dem candidate for president

It wouldn’t have to be permanent—
Just a temporary fix for this next election—
Swing the Senate to the Democratic majority, taking out McConnell as Majority leader if McGrath can’t do it and retake the WH

There should be a concerted effort to solicit younger voters maybe or retired ones with flexibility to relocate
It is not an easy ask
But do it in a few states and you maybe make a difference

Last I heard, Texas is turning purple so be careful what you say, lol.

Honestly, there are so many ways for Dems to win, how about some of these?

- Stop following all the rules! The GOP have shown how they are willing to CHEAT, Dems need to get creative!
- Get the National Popular Vote implemented
- Get many of those darn Democratic Presidential candidates to run for Senate! Winning the White House is useless if the GOP controls the senate and blocks our judicial nominees!
- Run a very likeable celebrity who appeals to conservatives and liberals alike, two can play that game! lol!
- Ask the Chinese for help! Again, two can play that game, LOL!
- Get Trump impeached and the house of corrupt GOP cards will crumble!

Lastly... find the peepee tape and release it! I would like to see the hypocritical Evangelicals continue to support Trump after seeing that!

How about simply running a candidate who isn’t ready to give our country and tax dollars away to illegal immigrants, and who has some policies that aren’t “I’m not Trump”.

That would be Biden. He's leading in the General Election polls against Trump. Every D candidate has policies that aren't "I'm not Trump". However, it's the voters that really want Trump out badly and the voters want the D candidate that is most likely to beat Trump.

BTW - Illegals already get free health care in the USA, courtesy of Ronald Reagan (R). They simply go to a hospital emergency room, which cannot refuse them if they are illegal and cannot refuse them if they were there before and never paid their bill. So our tax dollars have been used for health care for illegals for many decades and this was done by a Republican president

We will see. I’ve seen Joe run several times and never get over the finish line. He’s not going to be president.

Yes I will vote for the Dem candidate but agree that Biden can shoot himself in the foot on any occasion
