@imillhiser 1/Ossoff & Warnock win. Dems can pass a big stimulus & infrastructure bill thru reconciliation. The new admin's efforts to control the pandemic are successful & the econ improves significantly. Barrett Court hands down unpopular decisions. Biden goes into the midterm w/ 55%...
@imillhiser 2/approval. Dem voters don't fully demobilize & we narrowly lose the House while picking up 1-2 net Sen seats. Dems pass a budget thru end of Biden's term to prevent sabotage. Riding on return to normalcy & Trump 2024 candidacy dividing the GOP, Biden is re-elected w/ coattails.
@imillhiser 3/With unified control in 2024, made possible by narrow loss in 2022, Dems pass structural pro-democracy reforms including restructuring of unpopular federal judiciary, admission of PR & DC as states.
@imillhiser 4/To be clear, I think this is a tad too optimistic, but we have to maintain hope that we're not on the most crapsack timeline.

@Redistrict 1/Based on where the election stands right now, there are 37,350,155 Trump voters in states that went for Biden, including California. The Electoral College renders their votes irrelevant.
They should be in favor of a popular vote.
@Redistrict 2/Likewise, there are 27,945,265 Biden voters in states that went for Trump. (This number is smaller because Biden won more states, but in 2016, it was the reverse.) Their votes are irrelevant.
They should be in favor of a popular vote.
@Redistrict 3/There are 6,859,157 "excess" Biden and 4,010,738 "excess" Trump voters in states won by their respective candidates who were unnecessary to carry the state. Their votes are irrelevant.
