I don't think it's working in 2020. Thoughts?

Please.
That's what you get from the original post? Asking for thoughts on the article and its speculation given the madness going on? You do know that the entire world is looking upon your country aghast right?
Just looking for a little inside insight.

So uh, what is the point of overturning Roe v. Wade??
Other than rousing up all the Xtian Nationalists?

Votes are supposed to count, that is why so much of an effort has been spent restricting the right to vote.
First it was male landowners, then it was free males, then from 1866 to about 1877 it was free black males, then back to free males again with various pushes to make sure the Jacksonian wing of the Southern US got to count landownership as being a bit more of a vote than being poor. Then women, then black men and women again...then pretty much brazen suppression of black votes from 2016 until now (Kentucky).
We are what we are and that includes the ability to change what we are, ideally by voting.
The Mitch McConnel wing thinks that blacks votes should be limited because they are "brainwashed" by the Democratic party (he has a point, Black Americans tend to be more conservative, more religious, opposed to abortion and anti-queer than a typical Democratic platform) so limiting their vote is reflective of how they should be voting.
So,if we are a Republic we should be working on limiting the vote to trusted, educated owners of businesses and recognized institutional participants like Educators, Military officers and local electors.
Who wants that?

"Votes are supposed to count." Your words.
So explain to me, Kurt....How NYC/L.A./Portland/Chicago voters can tell the rest of the nation what to do? Or the reverse.

And the people who have lived here for 25 years.
So yep.
We will be able to zip accross the Hudson via PATH train and buy legal weed by next year too.
The thing that will fuck me over, so I actually anticipate it, is that the relative boom in ICS Cybersecurity caused by the idiotic Trump's policy of antagonizing Iran while ignoring Russian threats could stop. Not that Biden will defund them but he is more likely to let people hire Indians in India to protect our infrastructure from cyber attacks. In 2 years I will probably be H1-B'd out of a job again.

Iran? LMFAO. Don't worry Kurt....With Biden, we will absolutely have a bunch of White kids go die for Israel. No Persian ever called me White Boy/or Goy.
Russia? C'mon man.
