Yeah but sometimes people aren't complete assholes but they live with an asshole who has FOX news blaring all day.

Re: 2020 Election
Reminds me of this:
https://wamu.org/story/19/11/15/dati...omance-in-d-c/
Rick, 29, is firmly in Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren’s camp. She supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign and says she was more willing to date a supporter of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders back then.
She concedes she’ll occasionally go out with a Sanders supporter. But she says there’s a reason the odds are slim. “Nine times out of 10, it turns into a very big argument,” she sighs. “I’ve been on dates whereby the end of the night, it’s completely ruined. I know where it’s going to go — best to just avoid it.”
Rick is upfront now about what’s she’s looking for on dating apps—her Hinge profile says she’s seeking “a gregarious dork who’s really into small things and passionate about them and is also voting for Elizabeth Warren.”

Re: 2020 Election
Just imagine what it's like around here. I'm deep in Trump country - I think my county went for Trump 96-4 or something like that. Seriously.
The response that I most often get to asking why they tolerate his racist, anti-immigrant, women hating ways?
'At least he's going what he said he was going to do'
My usual retort is something to do with seeing that first payment for the wall from Mexico any day now.

So that explains the lack of comments, hardly anybody watched it.

Good to see Gabbard dropping off the bottom of the graph. She's got to be a plant of some kind.

Re: 2020 Election
... I hate to admit it, but my GF likes to have Fox Business News on during the day, muted, simply because their 'stock ticker' (or whatever that thing is at the bottom that shows market info) is easier to read than CNNs and other channels! She works from home and doesn't 'watch' the TV, but likes to see the ticker from time to time.

Probably, at least according to 538's polling:

So ... looks like it might actually happen!

Apparently most people didn't actually listen to what Clinton said:
