The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

libs voted for dems and this is what you get. Top lib honcho Biden opened the borders and couldn't care less about the plight of American citizens.


Blah blah blah.....a broken record. Liberal democrats didn't elect Biden. Democrats represent a spectrum of perspectives, and it was the participation of conservative, centrist, and liberal Democrats plus independents who switched. In addition, a larger percentage of conservative and moderate Democrats voted for Biden than had voted for Hillary. Pew did a very careful assessment that the Brookings Institution discussed.

"...using a massive sample of 'validated' voters whose participation has been independently verified, the Pew Research Center has published a detailed analysis of the 2020 presidential election. It helps us understand how Joe Biden was able to accomplish what Hillary Clinton did not....

"The Biden campaign reunited the Democratic Party. Compared to 2016, he raised the share of moderate and conservative Democrats who voted for the Democratic nominee by 6 points, from 85 to 91%, while increasing the Democratic share of liberal Democrats from 94 to 98%. And he received the support of 85% of Democrats who had defected to 3rd party and independent candidates in 2016....

"As his supporters for the Democratic nomination had hoped, Joe Biden appealed to the center of the electorate across party lines. He did 10 points better than Hillary Clinton among Independents, and he doubled her showing among moderate and liberal Republicans. He improved on her performance among two swing religious groups'Catholics (up 5 points) and mainline Protestants (up 6). Most important, he raised the Democratic share of suburban voters by 9 points, from 45 to 54%, and among White suburban voters, from 38 to 47%."
