"Ultimately, every day that Trump stubbornly refuses to change course [on the coronavirus pandemic] is another day that it becomes increasingly likely he may not only tank his own re-election bid but could be on a kamikaze mission to take the Republican-held Senate down with him. At this point, a net gain of five to seven seats for Democrats looks far more probable than the one to three seat gain that would leave them shy of a majority."

Finally, the country can continue to move forward again. We always take these 4-8 year breaks every time Republicans are elected. Hopefully we learned this last time.

I tend to believe that the average voter has the memory of a goldfish, and only really has their vote influenced by the two months leading up to the election; if Trump managed to get his act together in that time, the rest of his term won't have mattered. But Trump's current course of 'open up schools, let athletes play' is very likely primed to blow up in his face quite spectacularly when schools and athletic programs start seeing outbreaks in early fall and are forced to shut down again.

anecdotally, I spend my days guiding tourists from all over the US and the vast majority of them don't really care about coronavirus or think it's overblown and want all kids to return to school

So I dunno where these throngs of people who are horrified by the handling of the pandemic are but I haven't been meeting them

Idiots who travel in the middle of a pandemic probably don't care about covid, yeah

Florida's already lost over a billion dollars in its annual tourist trade this year - unsurprisingly, sane people don't want to take a vacation to a place where a deadly pandemic is practically encouraged to spread unchecked. Did it ever occur to you that people who are out on tours / vacations at this time are the exact demographic of people who would downplay / not care about the pandemic, and that people who are taking it seriously are staying home?

With 52 Dem senators + VP, can we
-eliminate filibuster
-make election day a federal holiday
-restrengthen USPS
-guarantee mail-in ballot access to all US citizens
-prevent states from disenfranchising citizens over felonies etc

Because otherwise it will probably swing back in midterms

yeah you're right that's a good point

my only point is I don't think there is this massive amount of people who are horrified like we'd like to think there are. I think there are an equal amount of "who cares" people

Under the current Democratic Party? Im guessing no. To any of these.

The lobbyists will never allow that.

"I could care less" means you care right now.

I've always held out a sliver of hope that the unintended true result of 'Make America Great Again' would be driving the GOP so far into the ground that they'd either dissolve, or finally get dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

That would be one hell of a ploy that I'm not sure Trump is smart enough to do.

Oh no no no, even the slim possibility that Trump is a self-aware double agent went out the window a long time ago, that's why I specified 'unintended' result.
