Re: 2020 Election
Well when the yes camp spends 200+ million on their campaign hard for the No camp to compete.
Uber
$58,361,469
DoorDash
$51,905,814
Lyft
$48,937,462
Instacart
$31,584,393
Postmates
$13,319,307
The above companies have far deeper pockets and were the primary drivers of the proposition as their entire business model relies on cheap labor.
Union
$5,044,567
United Food & Commercial Workers
$4,225,000
Teamsters
$2,435,837
California Labor Federation
$2,274,565

As someone who pays no attention to the political adds other than for amusement always amazes me how easily and cheaply then can be bought.

Tomorrow's vote certification is guaranteed shit show. I really hope it tears the Republican Party apart.

Re: 2020 Election
I’m just glad I don’t live in DC. But, the disruption and violence from Trump loyalists may well ripple out to the rest of the country. I’ve been preparing for weeks, laying in a supply of drinking water for instance. (If we lose electricity we also lose water.)

I see the head of the Proud Boys now has a legal order banning him from DC. So confusing given Trump assured us it was Antifa causing all the violence.

All independent contractors using their own vehicles, but they are supposed to use thermal bags so hot stays hot and cold stays cold.

Well that was not how I expected the process to go yesterday, but in the end it all went on with the predicted final result.

With the added benefit that Trump's legacy is now severely damaged. Downside is, 4 people are dead and the country is a laughing stock ... In the end, Trump did more damage to himself than any outside force could have pulled off.

Doesn’t the final ratification signal the end of the 2020 election? Wondering if the thread had reached its natural conclusion.

Hardly. There are still 2 weeks to go before Biden is sworn in as our 46th President.
If Trump is impeached and removed in the interim, Biden will be our 47th President, after Pence.

Do you think? I’m pretty sure to that average sane person, Trumps legacy was a big WTF as soon as he took office. To his cult members, yesterday has probably made him even more of a hero.

Re: 2020 Election
A few weeks ago I was saying that Trump had a very good shot at winning the 2024 Republican nomination. It does seem that those chances have dropped significantly.
