@MartinBerishaj_ @rebekahkfreitas @Acyn What kind of boy is that traumatizing to? He'd have to have extremely soft parents, and probably ones who are afraid to say "vagina" (but are ok with saying the n word)

I think it's tempting to think of this election as if everyone was working from the same information and the country just made a very dark choice. How could all these women vote for someone who hates women? How could all these latino men vote for someone who hates latino men? Et. Cetera. But the data doesn't really support this. Everywhere (except the Dakotas) that abortion rights were on the ballot, it won a majority. Which means there were people who voted for Trump (who took away abortion rights) while voting highly in favor of abortion rights. Same with the economy. There are people (most Trump voters!) who say the economy was the biggest issue. Yet, Biden built the best economy in the world and endless economists agree Trump's policies (such as one can discern them) would crash the economy. Finally, no, latino men are not voting for their own deportation. They're just not. There's something more complicated going on. In all of these cases, PROPAGANDA WON. Trump said he would protect women (he won't). Republicans said they would build a better economy (they won't). Et cetera. So this gets to the heart of the matter: the issue is the INFORMATION. By large majorities, voters are pro-choice, they are pro-Bidenomics and anti-deporting millions of people. Poll after poll said this and statewide measure results confirm it. Yet the anti-choice, anti-Bidenomics, pro-deporting millions of people candidate won. The only logical conclusion one is left with is that we are simply not reaching voters with the information they need to vote their interests. Some of this is no doubt the right-wing media propaganda machine. Some of it is that we have always been bad at messaging these voters. And if there's some soul searching we should earnestly do in the coming months, it can't just be doomsday, "America hates women! America wants inflation!" stuff, tempting as it may be. And instead, to start asking the question which can turn the tide, which is: How do we COUNTERACT the right-wing media propaganda machine? How do we reach voters who care about Democratic priorities and basic American values with messaging that speaks to them? That is a question with an answer. That is an answer which change the direction of the country.

@TZiskBuff I disagree again with your conclusion. The winner leaned heavily into fear and hate, often at the expense of facts. We didn't learn that the country is tired of that, we learned they fucking love it and he did it better

Most importantly I hope we, as a country, move away from this fake outrage and twisting every word to make it 1000% worse than it really was. It’s tiresome and the country made that clear.

@TZiskBuff You really think it's a policy issue? Feels a lot like "I'm angry and this guy lets me be angry". Also an abundance of misinformation. I don't think the policy details mattered that much. Also, the man who won could barely verbalize his

As I said about Republicans in previous elections, the issue for you is that people don’t agree with your policies. Change them and people will vote for you. That is now the case with Democrats, will they adjust back to the middle?

@COsports55 @TZiskBuff Not claiming it was. Not even claiming it's a good tactic . But it's also not generally false. We elected a racist and misogynist, pretty well documented, but to call him one gets people all upset.

If this falls the way it appears it will, Democrats have no one to blame but themselves. Biden should have passed the torch long ago and should have given people a chance to decide who would next take the torch. They took several policies way too far, and people had enough.

@chas_garcia @TZiskBuff And historically, the "economy" as it were (major economic indicators) have fared better under Democrat-run periods

@TZiskBuff But most objective Econ statistics did improve in the last year under a democratic White House. Inflation back to fed target, interest rates lowering, gas prices under $3. Agree with the point.

@Matt_Sisneros Ok, I'll try one. How many third down conversions are made after the catch (ie the throw was short of the sticks but YAC got the 1st)? Or maybe just how many first downs are earned that way?

If you have a Buffs stat question, team or player, any level of obscurity, I can probably find you something. Example: LaJohntay Wester beats his defender 87.2% of the time on routes past the sticks. That is 1st among FBS players who have run more than 200 routes. Ask away.
