Thought: there are elections that change everything (1980, 2016) and ordinary elections that convince you nothing can ever change. There are false positives (2008, 2020) that you think will change everything but reinforce nothing-will-change-itis. And false negatives (1964?)

If he wins with PA, it will be vindication of the value of technically correct and statsistically conservative strategy in a game with a long history. He bet on the boring play of rebuilding the Blue Wall that Trump breached in 2016. No fancy narrative. Just do the math right.

It would be poetic justice if a figurative “rebuilt wall” kept Trump from a second term. Tactical fumbles like the Latinos-against-Socialism stuff in Florida foreshadow future strategic concerns, but in the short term, betting on the proven strategy seems to have been wise.

A good question in this context. I think "wise" political strategy in US elections is not just making historically data-driven decisions (that's merely smart), but also tuning out all massive noise levels about all sorts of things that just don't matter.https://twitter.com/muzkmuzkmuzk/status/1324526374736982016 …

Getting bored by this. That’s a good sign. We’re not going back to normal, but we can potentially go back to boring for a while.

If Biden brings it home I would like to request an ASMR presidency. Happy little trees. Free Bob Ross painting kit for everyone with next stimulus check.
