I don't use terms like "red wave" or "trump train", that would be you, guy. You're the Republican larping as an "MOR", I'm the non-party independent voting for individuals.

I think that was the "slavery has its benefits" part of the political compass. Gotta remember the LDS vote in that state.

I suspect LDS but maybe someone here from Utah can better explain.

I am more concerned with this one.  I guess 11% of Michiganians don't care about their 4th Amendment rights. 

 

- Michigan: Require search warrant for electronic data (basically reiterate 4th amendment)

Yes 89%, No 11% - 87% in

Right? Hopefully it gives more leverage to lawsuits against the federal government. I was gonna say how it might directly go at the Patriot Act but it looks like it expired?

I imagine 15% have a weird sense of humor and 5% are straight up crazy

does Biden seem to be having trouble breathing ?

I must have missed the tantrums and conspiracies.  

 

Although I voted for Trump, I'm okay if the results stay as they are.  Biden in the White House and Republicans still having the Senate.  That prevents anything too crazy  from happening, so maybe we can get things back to normal.  If we're lucky, maybe people in Portland will learn to act civilized.

 

In my opinion, if Biden accomplishes nothing in four years except getting people to be civil to each other, he will have had a very successful presidency.

I agree, Trump did more beneficial things for this country in four years than Biden in his 47 years, but it is what it is.  My only disappointment is that it looks like Peters the slime ball will defeat John James for the Senate in MI.  I guess the are a lot of racist Democrats in MI.
