General is not the issue when Dems have won 7 out the past 8 popular votes but only won office 5 times. Plus Obama and Biden were >51% - Max Aug 23, 08:03 6
- but there comes a point where the national % lead does translate at the state level to be insurmountable -- nm - mr mooch Aug 23, 08:08 4
  - Sure, if you get down to 37% you might not be able to McGovern the country. Until then, swing state polling please. -- nm - Max Aug 23, 08:13 3
    - For the top, sure, just don't forget that these percentages carry downballot implications for coast to coast. -- nm - con_carne Aug 23, 08:17
    - Biden did (barely) with 4.5% popular vote margin, Kamala might not even need that much -- (link) - mr mooch Aug 23, 08:15 1
      - For one thing, that article font is *terrible* for reading. For another, shut up shut up shut up. -- nm - Max Aug 23, 08:17
- word. have your joy that people are on board with the message and then get to work where it counts most. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 23, 08:08
Yep—yet, the Republican Pres candidates always lose the popular vote—the electoral math goes their way -- nm - Trending Aug 23, 07:56 1
- see jasmine below. gotta overperform in raw votes and gotta overperform in swing states. leave no question about who won. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 23, 07:59
