  1. So we should issue like a Permanent Voter Card to all citizens like they do in Nigeria? I thought y'all were terrified of a centralized demographic database, hence why we have no unique citizen ID number and the closest we use is the SSN.

  2. ​ @SignalCorps1 Right, I don't trust the specific timelines that PZ puts out, but the underlying trendlines are still solid.

  3. Trump's promises aligns with more voters, but I'd bet the policies today's Republicans pursue will be ultimately regarded as more retarding than improving to the MAGA dream.

  4. More like there were a lot more disenchanted Americans. It's not hard to find a citizen who deliberately failed to vote altogether because they simply didn't like either candidate for President.

  5. The lack of fairness comes from the widening divide between America's macroeconomic prowess and the microeconomics in our wallets, which the current institutions are failing to bring back together. Trump's autocratic style appeals to the desire to decisively break down these institutional barriers, but considering the interests of him and the Republican Party I'd bet the gap will ultimately just get bigger -- some higher pay might trickle down for a bit, but woe is us when those naturally sociopathic capitalist entities decide to later wield their godlike profit-filled war chests in litigation and lobbying against our communities.

  6. ​ @gregmoore66 ​​Right, not all "change" is necessarily good, as Obama's critics were quick to point out back then. Trump's first term already had us driving in the shoulder, further rightward movement could have us falling into the ditch.

  7. The lack of competition led to the lack of enthusiasm for the Democrat platform.
