Unaffiliated voters generally make up about 40% of the electorate. They decide most elections, not apathetic party voters. I won't deny that there was an element of that, but the regular guy on the street just didn't want to vote for impotent republicans this time.

There. Feel a little better and stop smearing your butthurt all over every thread.

Depending on how data is tracked, between 29% and 32% of officially registered voters are listed as independent or unaffiliated. However, when asking Americans how they self-identify regardless of state registration rules, public opinion polls show a much higher range of 44% to 47% identifying as political independents

In LA, it's about 44%.

so not apathetic PARTY voters, apathetic ignorant frickers who do not have any sort of principles or strategic thinking skills

also known as the simplest among us.

That is a big reason the country is fricked, so much energy spent appealing to that group of impulsive wishywashy asshats.

Trump has been calling to end the filibuster for nearly 2 years. A Dem aligning with Trump seems like a moderate position.

It's the natural course of things when the so-called good guys don't do shite and in fact make things worse, despite their promises.

So the do-nothing crooks should be endlessly voted into power, because then they'll somehow stop being do-nothing crooks? If we just keep voting for frauds, we'll eventually get good people?

Are you sure you know who the simplest among us is?

No, they shift around quite a bit. Someone having a 'leaning' does not guarantee them as a rubber stamp vote all or even most of the time. More often, they just won't vote if they don't like the candidate they may have ideologically. Obviously.

Don't forget the no-butthurt in every thread part of my reply, now. It's just as important as the 'people who decide every election' part.

it looks like Abbott/Talarico combo was about 80K Voters
