Hello again.
Are they still surveying people by phone? Because most young people do not answer calls from unknown numbers. Could that perhaps have skewed the results to favor Republicans?
Also, are we seeing a voting revolution among youth? These late Millennials, Gen Zers or whatever, ditching the habit of the young to neglect the mid-terms? They supposedly came out in record numbers last election, too.
Hello Gabrielle! Long time between posts.
It's interesting that this has actually happened before: in the 19th century. Apparently, we like to back a winner, but there is no winner right now. That drives engagement up (need to back a winner. after all) and makes the politics acrid. Eventually, one of the two contending ideas will take hold, and then it's a replay of FDR or the Gipper.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
