My predictions for the next two political cycles: add yours, too!
Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Mon, 11/09/2020 - 10:12amI know I have a cynical bent, though I view it more as a penchant for being realistic. I'll put it to the test by making some predictions about how things will unfold over the next four years. Let's see how they measure up!

Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 11/09/2020 - 12:03amMany people on The Left are convinced that we are about to see a repeat of 12 years ago. That liberals will just go back to brunch.

Election SNAFU
The acronym is - situation normal, all f***ed up. The oligarchs win regardless of who is president. Max and Stacy declared Fed Chairman Jerome Powell the real winner, and Barron's magazine agrees.

Who will have a seat at the table? Well, the oligarchs at Davos in 2021. Somehow I don't think regular working folks are going to benefit. The writing is on the wall...

Trump increased his share of black vote as compared with 2016
Submitted by BayAreaLefty on Sat, 11/07/2020 - 7:59pmThe exit polls are likely going to be adjusted as more results come in, but for now the snapshot painted is pretty interesting.
In key states WI, MI and PA, only in PA did Biden improve over Hillary with respect to the black vote.
