60 to 70%

60% is the norm but in some counties democrats had 110% of their registered voters vote. 2020 proved that the election did not follow the pattern of the last 50 years. 2020 was the only year ever that democrats had more votes in counties than they had registered voters. Seems strange to me too.

Very interesting.
Kennedy was the greatest president in the last 100 years.

If it was not for that small moment in history, the Democratic party would probably not exist today.

Latin Americans make up the majority of immigrants to the United States. Democrats have been continually surprised that, considering the countless right-wing racist attacks they have endured (including candidate Donald Trump calling Mexicans who sought to come to the United States drug users and rapists), that they do not form a solid Democratic block. They don't. In fact, some 32 percent of Hispanics say their political views are "very conservative" or "conservative." This percentage is about in line with American adults in general.
In Texas, a quarter of Latinos voted for Ted Cruz over Beto O'Rourke in the 2016 USA Senate race. Without that Latino support, Cruz would have lost his senate bid in a landslide.
As for Sub-Saharan African immigrants, they tend to be conservative and extremely religious. Many find Western culture to be hopelessly decadent. Kevin Thomas, professor of African American and African diaspora studies at The University of Texas at Austin, notes that, in terms of political ideology, Black immigrants tend to lean more on the conservative side than the liberal side. This is in contrast to native-born Blacks who most often describe themselves as moderate Democrats.
One self-described moderate Republican Nigerian immigrant sounded like he was channeling your average white Trump voter when he recently told PRI, "Trump's not a politician, and he speaks his mind. Does things the way he believes things should be done. Nigerians prefer strong leaders."
Yet when all his is netted out, immigrants vote probably 3:1 democrat. This country has taken on tens of millions of immigrant voters since Kennedy changed the immigration system. The end result is that the equilibrium has been shifted and we have gone from a right of center country to a left of center country. That will have economic, social and other consequences and they will play out gradually over coming couple of decades. We don't defy gravity here in the USA.

That point among others has been made numerous times but only ignored while the same Trumpian talking points are recited over and over. Call this the thread of the ad nauseam.

As to the alleged flood of illegal immigrants that turned the election, all of us including the courts are still waiting on the proof. So far all we have is a botched press conference beside an adult bookstore in front of Four Seasons Landscaping, all accentuated by a hair dye fiasco.

True and one of the main problem with the covid deniers and anti-vaxxers is their blatant disregard for welfare of the soldiers in their cult. These people rail against the vaccine while secretly getting the jab to protect themselves. Such was the case when when Donny and his wife got their shot on the down-low while pretending to be unmoved by Covid. The lastest is top purveyor of fake news and outrage, and covid denier, Tucker Fake News Carlston who refuses to say if he took the vacinne.
I would bet all my Canadian currency that he also took the vaccine but continues to rails against it nightly. Its unattractive to be a hypocrite but when you put your disciples at risk just so you can advance your talking point, it shows how heartless you are. Sadly Tuck, Donnie and crew will continue to put more suckers at risk while they advance their propaganda.

Why do you try to put words in my mouth?
First, other countries have a standardized approach to their Federal ID process. Virtually all states require 2 forms of ID to register to vote. Only an idiot would say that showing up with a hunting license and a birth certificate is "good" but showing up with a student ID and a birth certificate is "bad". And my question STILL REMAINS. Why are Republicans so against this? By the way, I never said anything about voting in another country's elections.
Maybe if you spent more time learning and less time bloviating, you'd make fewer ridiculous statements.

Really? Faux "News" never said it was a hoax? "This scaring the living hell out of people — I see it, again, as like, let's bludgeon Trump with this new hoax," Hannity said during his March 9 broadcast ". Quotation from https://www.vox.com/2020/3/20/211867...rage-fox-news..

Trump is gone and a great America is gone. I am glad you are truly digging Biden's USA.
Biden's USA:
1. Defund police. Murders and shootings daily in Time Square. 4 year old shot yesterday in time square.
2. Venice Beach, CA muggings, homeless camps, drugs make beach and homeowners not safe anymore.
3. BLM peaceful riots allowed to destroy business and property but no permits for Veterans parade on Memorial Day.
4. 24,000 homeless illegal children at the border.
5. Drugs crossing border at all time highs and sex traffickers bringing in hundreds of 13-17 year old girls for sex industry.
6. Homeless skyrocketing in democratic states.
7. Higher taxes.
8. Bigger government and more stupid regulations for small business.
9. Leaving Afghanistan so the terrorists can reclaim it.
10. New green deal that will leave the poor not being able to afford power.
11. Paying people to not work.
12. Inflation skyrocketing.
13. Companies starting to leave USA for fairer taxes.
14. Cancel history.
15. Wokeness for all white people.
16. Lowering academic standards in school and teaching children race issues rather than spelling and arithmetic.
I am glad you are digging it.
This administration is a disgrace and you are a disgrace for supporting it.

If you're a man who's been living in America for the last year you are getting spit roasted by Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris with strapons. They in turn have their hands up Biden's and Newsom's ass. At least some countries like Brazil still have a real guy as the President.
God help the United States.
JFK's Democratic Party is dead.

Most other democracies use a consistent federal identification card. This eliminates the BS of a state deciding that a hunting license with a photo is a valid ID but a college ID with a photo isn't. Republicans don't want that either.
Nice try, though.
