Every electoral vote over 270 represents down-ticket strength that makes the Senate blue!

What this country needs is a thorough Californication, good and hard. Fair elections mean we have an almost 2/3 majority in the state legislature and the Devin Nunes's of this state represent mostly sagebrush and horned toads in the central valley. I'm hoping for enough gains in state legislatures to correct some of the gerrymandering done a decade ago.

A Californication is exactly what we'll need because any Repubs not up for election yet will try to throw as many wrenches into the works as they can.

2018 was a good indication, imo. There is a silent majority and she's not having this t'Rump.

Indeed 2018 was a good indication. That's why the Repubes are trying their best to act like it never happened.

Joe needs to be more fired up and go after tRump on lying about Covid-19. Remind everyone that so much of the damage, the lives ruined and lost is because tRump lied to save his hide.

Scientific American backs Biden for its first presidential endorsement in 175 years

https://www.washingtonpost.com/scien...can-joe-biden/

Quote:
In an urgent and impassioned editorial first published online Tuesday, the editorial board endorsed former vice president Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee, calling him the candidate “who is offering fact-based plans to protect our health, our economy and the environment.”

It was a striking move for the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States and one its editor in chief, Laura Helmuth, said was both carefully considered and entirely necessary.

Four years ago, the magazine flagged Donald Trump’s disdain for science as “frightening” but did not go so far as to endorse his rival, Hillary Clinton. This year, its editors came to a different conclusion.
I grew up reading the beloved SA, especially loved The Amateur Scientist column. I definitely share their disdain for the dangerous anti-science dimwit current occupant of the Oval Office.

That's simultaneously cool as hell and alarming. Those are some smart folk at SA.

We all know it's Harris being endorsed. After all it's the Harris administration.
