The brain drain is a very real phenomenon in rural America. I’m not saying the Republican voters in these areas are dumb. What I’m saying is that the types of people that would be offended by Trump’s/GOP’s behavior that grew up in these areas are the ones that tend to leave for college and never come back. It’s quite sad honestly.

This, 100%. I made a comment about this in another thread, but basically if you ever go visit one of these dying towns, it's going to be one of the most depressing things you'll ever witness firsthand. Anybody with anything to live for has left. The people who remain aren't even voting for Trump because they think he'll save their sh-tty little town, they're just hoping he'll bring the rest of the country down too.

Condescending attitudes like this are a large part of why Democrats struggle in rural areas. I don't need to visit one of these "dying towns" I live there. As hard as it is for you to believe the vast majority of people who live here would not live anywhere else, myself included. I'm not saying rural areas don't have their problems, they do, but so do suburbs and cities. I may not agree politically with a majority of my neighbors but for the most part they are good people living life the way they want,who the F*** are you to say they have nothing to live for.

Of course the allegation is not that it was a random clerical error but done deliberately and repeatedly to hide their attempts to affect the election through unlawful means.

You and I have a very different definition of what "affecting the election through unlawful means" is. Nothing criminal about trying to suppress embarrassing stories from coming out.

Paying tens of thousands to suppress embarrassing stories is an illegal in-kind campaign contribution, though.

But maybe multiple judges saying that it's a serious case means you could be wrong in your conclusion that it's not.

When i think "serious", I think of murder. Or rape. Or assault. Basically, someone got hurt. There was a victim. I do not consider a bookkeeping error made almost a decade ago "serious". I consider it to be a joke

This is such a weird comment - so something isn't a serious crime if it's not murder, rape, or assault? What? lol (also its much more than a bookkeeping error but just ignoring that)

If there was no victim, it's not serious. No one was harmed by any of the conduct alleged here.

Come on, do you really think this guy is a troll:

Gender: non intersex Two-spirit in the Native sense
Birthdate: Prior to the Clinton Presidency
Race: White Latino
Ethnicity: Italian, PR.
Siblings: None that matter
Religion: Theistic agnostic
Political Ideology: Left Libertarian
Neurotype: Severe anxiety disorder, severe depression, untreated ADHD, severe PTSD.

Surely this is an honest person who earnestly believes in everything they write.

Look trollish but i seen people who both were far weirder than that and actually believe it, so it isn't too out of mind that he genuinely believe this.

Yeah I decided to delete that because on the off-chance that it is real it would be a pretty rude thing to make a joke out of.

I can't picture a scenario where I would. Certainly if it was a MAGA trump supporter that is pretty much a complete disqualified. But even if it were a reluctant trump voter, there would have to be a lot of context added for it to be in consideration for me.

The polls are lies because they are going off Biden Approvals and it's 39 in Gallup and in Rassy and Marist and PPP at 45

Trump Toupee and DS the user not Dems keep saying Gallup has Biden at 39 and Biden is at 44, that's why 22 was wrong because they had Trafalgar Biden at 29 and he was at 45.

The same thing they did with Trump in 20 he made it a 303 D map because he was at 41 not 39

Write-ins and leaving the presidential ballot line blank.

This - it certainly will NOT be Trump who wants to "crush Palestinian protests".  However, if Biden "bleeds" enough on this issue, Trump may be able to narrowly win MI.
