Doesn't Biden have to be up by 7 just to break even in the electoral college? Grrr.

I really admire Robert Reich. He seems to hit the nail on the head nearly every time.

Hard to say. That's just the general voting population across the country. It really comes down to a few key counties in a few key states.

The best comment I've read so far regarding President Trump, the Impeachment, and the upcoming Senate trial:
The real question is should he be tried as an adult?

It's encouraging that some people are not only mapping the path of the cultural fragmentation, but also acknowledging that the two-party system exacerbates extremism.

^^ It's true. Two parties invite antagonism. How do we bring about a multi-party system?

^It has to start at the local level. Too many "third" parties try for major offices first without building a political infrastructure.

The elimination of the Electoral College and ranked voting will do it.
