POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

[Hooahguy]

Can you cite on those points? What, especially, is Mitch McConnell's power to hold up reconciliation?

I'm sure there are some procedural things they can do to stall the reconciliation process, but the thing is that they are going to do them anyways. I understand why the Dems would prioritize Covid relief over an impeachment trial that was doomed from the start, but it made zero sense to flip flop like that and the story distracted from the real story of 43 Republicans being sniveling cowards who betrayed their oaths. Like the GOP was pretty clear that they would draw out the trial if witnesses were called and the fact that the WH preferred to work on Covid relief wasn't exactly a new development either. I am fairly certain this will become a forgotten story by next month as the country moves on to other things but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sigh.

Also I seem to have missed this Gallup poll released last month regarding how Americans identify themselves ideologically.

In short, the breakdown is that 36% identify as conservative, 35% identify as moderate, and just 25% as liberal. I would have liked to see a breakdown of the moderate folks between moderates leaning right and left, because moderate is a super vague term nowadays.

Oh, really? How would you then interpret the phrase "we should have burned more of the South?"

You are taking that phrase way too seriously. You have ignored my previous explanations for some reason but you do you.
