“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    How does one “ignore” a state?

    By not campaigning in them.

    That’s it, if Biden doesn’t come knocking on my door I’m not voting for him. Otherwise, how could I ask him questions and gather information on his policy positions?

    I mean, that’s what Clinton failed to do in swing states. And it’s why she lost. You may think that swing states have an overinflated sense of their own importance and that talking to the flyover hayseeds is unbecoming, but ultimately, votes are earned, and can be lost. Clinton couldn’t grasp that. She lost.

    You can’t grasp it either.

    Maybe it’s because understanding it means you’ll have to admit that Clinton earned her loss.
