How should I feel about the fact that my next door neighbors put a Youngkin board on their lawn?

I guess that is "roughly" true.

Less than 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump. Certainly isn't "half of America" no matter how "roughly" you look at it.

I calculate 31% eligible voters were Trump, to 34% Biden using 240m eligible voters from USA Today. Do you imply the other 35% of eligible voters would vote independent? Or Democrat? Where is the support for this??? This just isn't going anywhere credulous. Citing the 30% figure is a perversion of numbers.

Pew had 256m eligible voters.

If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported, <30% supported Trump. It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported. Bottom line, they didn't support Trump.

A more valid % would be looking at ALL Americans who supported Trump, but that is a more difficult # to calculate. That surely would be even lower than <30%. Think of all of the young people who detest Trump. They will be voting soon.

No matter how you try to manipulate it, "half of Americans" aren't Republican.

Ok. . .

"If you asked (via ballot) eligible voters who they supported," 32% supported Biden. Using your 256m eligible voter figure. "It doesn't matter who the other 70% supported."

See how this is an argument to nowhere PP. You've been had.

And finally, by same stupid logic. .

21% of voting age Virginians voted for Governor Northram (D).

I don't remember anyone claiming anything about the # of Ds in VA. Do you?

FAIL.

I know. You are only know what you were told. So you wouldn't remember. You don't see the insincerity of the news piece for what it is.

It's math. See:

1.4m voted Northram divided by 6.6m voting age Virginians = 21%.

What does that mean? Not much really. The whole % of eligible voters argument, either direction, is total nonsense used to twist the truth to support a narrative.

DP. The actual number is nonsense? It's just the truth. It can be used to support a narrative, like any other fact, but if you're going to talk about how much support an elected official (of whatever party) has, the number of people who decided to stay home or vote 3rd party is actually relevant.

Yup. “If “Did Not Vote" was a candidate in 2016, it would have won by a landslide”

I would think much less of them and certainly interact less with them.

Stop trying to dig out of the hole.

Where is your data? Show us facts. Not your opinion.

Sorry, you’re having trouble keeping up. Bad at math and interwebs? Must be rough. Feel free to scroll back for details, but to recap…

<30% of eligible voters voted for Trump.

If we expand our pool to all Americans than % would drop even lower.

“Half of Americans” aren’t Republicans no matter how desperate you are for that to be true.

I believe we have digressed from the topic. To refresh everyone’s memory, it was about a liberal so intolerant of people who don’t support the Democrat that he doesn’t know what to do with a neighbor who disagrees with liberal policies - and actually expresses that view with a sign (rather than allow the silencing to take hold). Another intolerant liberal suggested that OP get together with other liberals and make sure the conservative know that “his kind” isn’t welcome in the neighborhood.

The irony of the entire thread is that by complaining about someone who put a sign up for Youngkin (I have to drive past six McAukiffe signs to get to my house, and it never occurred to me to try to expel these homeowners), the intolerance of liberals for the “other” is on full display.

The true topic of this thread is how much contempt liberals show for people who are different than themselves.

I wasn’t going to vote for either gubernatorial candidate, but reading (some of) this thread has convinced me to vote for Youngkin.

No, this thread is about a person who just realized her neighbor supports The Big Lie and other GOP machinations. Stop trying to normalize the current state of the GOP.

Well said. I tried to elbow my way in early in the thread, but you elucidated my thoughts.

Yes - we have liberals who supposedly embrace diversity of all kinds EXCEPT those who aren’t as militantly liberal as themselves.

I thought liberals embraced tolerance and acceptance and diversity and equity?

And I consider myself conservative to libertarian, but perhaps the difference is I’m open minded and accepting. I have no idea how most of my neighbors vote.

Thank you. First PP here. Reading through this thread has me appalled by how intolerant liberals have become. I’ve never cared that much about state races, although I always vote and voted for the Democrats now in the Senate, but this year I can’t believe what I’m seeing - Democrats on full front attack to silence, expel, shun, whatever, anyone who doesn’t agree with their political opinions. It’s gotten so bad that anything less than FULL support for the most extreme liberal position gets a poster labeled a Trump supporter, a liar, a moron, and so forth.

Quite the opposite. Ds have a big tent now that so many Rs have come over during Trump and because the GOP is still pushing The Big Lie.

Voting for Youngkin means that you support allowing partisan groups to throw out election results with no evidence.

This is a very tired. So many posters said that they were formerly “liberals” voting for Trump because people on the interwebs made them upset. Just trolls lying. Terry has it in the bag.

It seems like most people don’t reAlize how Evangelist youngkin is. I’ve had personal experiences with him and the man is a loon not fit for governor.
