Well yes! Those immigrants often become citizens and vote Democratic. Therefore, "We" meaning Trump must take their children away from them. Send the parents to parts unknown and let Public Q. Taxpaper raise the now abandoned children in Republican foster homes! That could answer part of it or at least delay for a generation the effect on the voting population.View attachment 24461021 This is a private company that is heavily involved in immigrant detention. The gig is up.

@Moderators and/or @Mr. LPSG: Why was the previous "Elections Results" thread closed?
That has never been a reason to close a thread. We used to have a moderator template we would send to someone called,"Thread not going your way?...." instead of closing threads. The OP does not own the thread. It doesn't matter if he thinks it had gone off topic. If I'm not mistaken, he started the thread and never returned. Terrible precedent.The Originating Poster felt the thread had gone off topic from his Opening Post/Poll and requested that his thread be closed.
You might want to take that up with @Mr. LPSG. He closed the thread.That has never been a reason to close a thread.

Why were the polls wrong this time? Polls had Biden with sizable percentage leads in national polls and in several Republican senate seats the Democratic candidate in a very significant lead.
Honestly, I just closed it without really looking into it. It's the politics section and love me or hate me I've always said I'm not going to spend any energy there especially not today.That has never been a reason to close a thread.

Racism, for starters.

This is a separate post because of its purpose and intent. It very different from my first post on this thread.
Why were the polls wrong this time? Polls had Biden with sizable percentage leads in national polls and in several Republican senate seats the Democratic candidate in a very significant lead.
When the votes were tabulated, this sizable difference swiveled so much that in some Senate races, the Republican candidate has won or at least is in the lead at this moment in time.
We know that the number of Democratic voters did in fact vote. Did Republican voters turn out as well as Democratic voters or were the polls wrong.
This has happened several times especially in Senate races where the Republican candidate does much better than the polling indicated and in the "old" South.
What gives?

There is a hearing going on regarding the USPS as we speak:

Dejoy was put there for one specific reason: to SABOTAGE the postal system and obstruct the right to VOTE. That was clear from the START:
Thank you so much for your transparency! Please don't shut down the Politics forum. Instead, appoint some Politics Forum only to manage the Politics Forum.Honestly, I just closed it without really looking into it. It's the politics section and love me or hate me I've always said I'm not going to spend any energy there especially not today.
I actually contemplated shutting down the entire politics section last night because regardless of the result it's going to be ugly. I don't think now is the time to attack one side or the other side. I know that's easy for a non-American to say. Last night it looked one way and in a whatsapp group I'm in it got really ugly with people attacking and laughing at Biden. I thought that was wrong and at the time I felt if the shoe were on the other foot it equally isn't the time to say the same to Trump supporters.
All that to say when someone asked for a thread to be closed I didn't read anything I logged in and closed it. I have no idea what was said or which way the original poster leans.
I broke my rule and just gave 5minutes of energy to this side of the site![]()
