I think you need to do some research. Go watch "Bad Decisions: The Joe Biden Story"

If you vote for Biden, it will be bad for every American.

Biden is worse than Les Miles, who struggles to put a coherent sentence together.

This isn't a Biden-Harris ticket, it's a Harris-Biden ticket

I wasn't a registered voter for the past 20 years or so. I have been apathetic at best and I have moved quite a few times. However, 2 weeks ago I re-registered to vote.

This election is important and you have to vote for the lesser of the 2 evils.

After watching the debates and seeing Joe firsthand not being able to string together coherent talk, I know a vote for him is a mistake.

Notice his reason for voting had nothing to do with Biden. People make the mistake of believing just because they don’t see a lot of Biden signs in yards, there’s no enthusiasm for the left. They are enthusiastic about voting against Trump. It won’t matter in Louisiana because this is MAGA county, but, it could make a difference in swing states.

It's bizarre how many diehard Democrats are in Louisiana. Unlike other Southern states where most of the Dems are transplants, most of the LA Dems are natives. Probably has something to do with the rampant political corruption that festers in Louisiana for so long.

1) Well, you have the urban factor with Nola, Baton Rouge and Shreveport. They likely follow the national trend of always voting D.
2) LSU and Tulane academics, at least, probably follow the trend of leaning liberal.
3) Yes, the political history of La comes into play. We have our very own "Democratic" party, which is different than the national brand. The older you are, the more likely you are to be Dem, and to remember when there simply WASN'T a Republican party here. In this case, there's likely a lot of crossover votes.

A lot of the older people were democrats. Some people voted for democrats because their parents and grandparents were democrats.

Then you add university’s into the mix and you have democrats in the larger cities.

It is funny the party against the KKK seems to forget the Klan voted as democrats in the South. Joe Biden, also was a friend of a Democratic Senator Robert Byrd . He was a member of the KKK at one time also recruiting people into the KKK. Not many people mention this.

There were three old ladies in line ahead of me saying something similar. “Cant take four more years of this” and whatnot. It’s going to be an interesting election.

Huey Long convinced them they could have free shut that others would pay for.

That mindset hasn't changed for most.

Here in NY, my wife and her friends are all voting for Trump. She is Korean as are most of her friends. It's a matter of the economy and conservative values that are driving their decision (along with my help). De Blasio induced damage to NYC isn't helping the demprogs either.

Yes, a message that you are willing to destroy your state's primary industry. Very commendable.

EBRP will vote for Biden.


I expect it to, but my parents live in Central, haven't voted in decades and they're voting this time. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes red. Clinton won by 18000 votes last time. I voted in EBR this election and I was in LP for the last one.

ETA: I would not be surprised at all if Orleans is the only parish Biden gets.
