This is very important on it’s own, but it also confounds (to an extent) separating age demographics from education demographics. 100 millennials will have higher educational attainment than 100 boomers. 350% more college grads today than in 1960. (And the change for women is likely underestimated in terms of broader social effects.)

Per 538 Trump has the same odds of winning Virginia as Biden does of winning Alabama.
Because he’s The Boy Who Cried Look Here Are Some More Totally Correctly Used Scare Quotes.
If not for that it’d be a sweet ass sick ass low key burn.
Ok the wild thing is people thinking he’s ever intentionally used scare quotes correctly.
I, Donald J. Trump, 45th “President” of “The United States of America” hereby decree…
Genius.
… Mitch doesn’t want it badly. I predict this will go nowhere like the last eleventy seven attempts. The problem is the GOP.
If the democrats play this correctly, they have a real opportunity to damage republican senators without helping Trump much. I know, narrator…
Yup, Dems need to play the hardest of balls here.
Would vulnerable R’s really vote against it? Stimulus is extremely popular and passing it would help Mitch retain his majority and his power. Isn’t that all he cares about at the end of the day? Even if it means caving and helping poors?
Also, perhaps instead of that stupid presser Pelosi is having on the 25th amendment, the topic should be the HEROES act. “Great, we want stimulus too, we ask Mitch to bring this immediately to a vote.”
At this point we have barely over 3 weeks to the election. I’m not sure why the Dems would hand Trump any wins. Pass it in the lame duck or when you have 60% of the house and 57 Senators so you can get the bill you have always wanted.
Obviously if they want to pass HEROES that’s fine but that would be my only and final offer.
He needs more than a few vulnerable R’s to pass it without using Democratic votes. He has to get to 60 after all.
“We already passed our bill, the Senate can vote any time.”
Done.
Agreed, but I think that anything productive happening in a Trump lame duck period is a dead letter. The Federal Government is going to look like Russia retreating in WWII.
