The number is 10k per day.

I did the math a few years ago because I couldn't find anyone else who had published it. This is rough and IANAM (mathmagicman).

Every single day 8,000 boomers and above die, and 12,000 people turn 18 and those numbers are actually accelerating. If you use existing data to estimate conservative/liberal and likely voters within those groups it works out to a delta of 10,000 per day on a national scale. That's 5,000 votes switching every single day. That might not seem like alot. Because it really isn't. Out of 155 million votes cast, 10,000 is .006 percent. But here's the thing. It's cumulative. And it just doesn't stop. It is relentless. it's 300k a month, 3.6 million per year. And that pace is accelerating. Between 2020 and 2024 it's a 15 million vote difference. By 2028 it's 30 million. It used to be that people age into conservatism. But that is not happening with millennials. The demographics are changing, and changing quickly. The most conservative group in the country is dying. While the most liberal group is rising.

We just have to hold on to democracy for a few more years. This will all be behind us. Another 10k today.

His SAVE program for Student Loans is fucking incredible. It dropped a crippling payment down to $32 a month. He may be old, but that has really helped me. I support him completely.

I want to believe.....so for now, I will.

Keep kicking ass Margot!

She will once again campaign only in states where it is possible to flip to Trump. Instead of safer states where she could get 5% of the vote and thus qualify for matching funds for the green party.

That is how you know it's completely bullshit and she is being run as a spoiler candidate for Trump.

Well that and the picture of her and Michael Flynn sitting at Putins table at a Russian state dinner in December of 2015.

Every one seems to be ignoring why this happened. The republican candidate is black. The ultra MAGA rural Kentucky County didn't vote for a black man.

This should not be a gigantic surprise.

3 things. They also want to eliminate the free filing software for the average person.

I have an alternate Google Account for You Tube when they started requiring that. I must have gotten my name before there was strict guidelines. It is still active. I am the proud owner of the Account FuckYouGoogle.

That's a fantastic stick. Don't throw it away.

Rule 4. If you absolutely need to, buy a Brother.

They're doing it on purpose. There was a report a few days ago that outlined a plan to do exactly this. It will continue to get worse for him.
