There was a movie in 2004 called A Day Without a Mexican
In this controversial mockumentary, all California based Mexicans, who represent a third of the state’s population, inexplicably disappear and before long the lack of these Latino maids, construction workers, policemen, teachers etc, lead to a social, political and economic disaster which threatens the whole concept of the Californian Dream.
Could become a reality… quien sabe?
Not sure you’re really better than Trump if you want to deport citizens based on who they vote for.
Meant more as an irony.
Now that I have a job that pays well, I’ve been enjoying the greenhouse grown strawberries from Ontario. They taste amazing.

That should sum up why Trump won.
Interesting charts, thanks for sharing
We should have listened to Bernie Sanders.
Bernie for sure has a better message.
I could see Bernie being really competitive. Just embrace the socialism label and argue all the positives. I wouldn’t personally want those policies but I can imagine him being very competitive.
I haven’t decided yet if I’m surprised or unsurprised that Lauren Boobert won after that switching districts thing.
Not surprised. The answer is not surprised.
The new district is also super red. I’m somewhat surprised she won the primary, but given that she won the primary I would expect the general election victory.
And yet not all that popular.
Unfortunately most of the American working class hates everything he stands for.
I agree he would be painted as a socialist, and socialism is communism, and communism is bad.
My FIL liked Bernie and is in the group of blue collar union workers that switched from D to R because Trump had a better economic message.
Bernie would have lost as well, but democrats need to better understand this economic appeal.
Painted as? 
He describes himself as a “democratic socialist”.
How dare anyone suggest he is socialist?!?!
That’s why I think the Sanders bet is to just embrace the socialism and appeal to all the less than median wage earners about all the cake and ponies he can deliver.
What we really need to reach the working class in rural America is the Transphobic, Christian Nationalist, Anti-Immigration, pro-gun, anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-entitlement, Capitalist version of Bernie Sanders.
I’m sure he’s out there somewhere, we just got to find him.
That’s the Trump coalition, so where do you focus what you hope to peel out of it.
There is a lot of overlap between those groups, but Biden appealed to the working class group enough to win, so the deciding factor can be a positive American value.
The first time around people were sick and tired of dealing with the Trump chaos.
Now its been normalised, so I am not sure that would work again.
Biden won because Trump was president during COVID.
If Clinton or Harris had been running in 2020 they also would have won.
