The USA is not a center-right nation anymore. Not by policy.
We have minority rule due to the freaking Dakotas and Wyoming.
Having four senators from the dakotas is like having 4 senators from Manhattan.
Make PR and DC states. Balance the country.

And TBF I think there *should* be a discussion of foreign policy in the debates--but apparently both campaigns agreed to the moderator's choosing the debate topics. IF so, then that's it: You don't get to change rules you agreed to.

Biden absolutely never said he would ban all fracking. He has only proposed to end new fracking leases on federal land. He has been very consistent about this.
But we do need to ban fracking immediately. It pollutes groundwater, causes earth tremors, and it's heating up our planet.
Biden's real agenda is to put fracking out of business using market forces instead of law.
CORRECT!

Nice one.
Agree, 18 percent of our population controls 52 Senate seats !! We litterally can have the Most Criminal President ever and not convict him. Oh..that did happen!

Merge the two Dakotas and Wyoming back into Dakota as they was before it was split before becoming states. Wyoming was split off in 1868. The Dakotas were split in to two as part of being granted statehood in 1889.
Population rank, including territories and DC, they rank 47th, 48th and 52nd. Population-wise the three combined are less than 70% of Puerto Rico's.
What the state-makers got wrong in 1868 and 1889 was that those states would grow significantly in pollution. They failed to meet their end of the deal, so merge them back as they were.

There was an analysis of this the other day on Bloomberg. The gist is that renewables are probably going to win out on economics in the power generation sector sooner than most expected. There needs to be major grid infrastructure upgrades to enable this which is part of the Biden plan. There is also a need to keep some portion of current energy infrastructure in the transition, so fracked gas doesn't go away completely for decades, though it needs to peak sooner than later to reach de-carbonization goals.
Politically, Biden needs to keep Pennsylvania on board. It's sitting on the largest known shale gas field in the U.S. hence pro-fracking sentiment drives a lot of Central/Western PA politics.

TX is not flipping to Biden. You need to stop smoking crack with Hunter and seek help.
Changing demographics plus crazy voter registration (thanks Beto!) spell doom for the GOP in Texas. Maybe not this time around, but Blue Texas is coming.
If demography is destiny, the GOP might be in trouble right now in Texas. Perhaps, the numbers explain why the Texas governor has tried to limit each of the state's 254 counties to one drop-off early vote ballot box, even though some are as big as states or have populations in the millions. It could also be the reason the Texas GOP filed suit against Harris County in Houston to ask courts to stop drive-thru voting. It may even be why even Sen. Ted Cruz has acknowledged that Texas is a battleground, and pundits have begun to use that magic descriptive "swing state" for the once certain GOP stronghold.

the US used to want to be at the forefront of new business. Now we're trying to recreate the past. Bad sign. Dems are much more forward looking than Rs.
All signs lead to renewables being cheaper AND cleaner than burning stuff. Let's get in front of this so we can get cleaner and not be a failed petro-state.
“Solar PV is now consistently cheaper than new coal- or gas-fired power plants in most countries, and solar projects now offer some of the lowest cost electricity ever seen,”IEA said.

I agree with your analysis. Wind and solar are already cheaper than natural gas and coal. There is really no good reason to continue fracking.
But a key component is energy storage. If we don't figure out how to do massive grid-level storage then growth in renewables will stall out.
To actually save humanity, we need to stop burning fossil fuels sooner than most think is possible. It's going to take some major innovation to get there. But I believe we can do it and America should lead the way as we typically do with such a challenge.

Add one to the list:
Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative. But, I also believe that black lives matter, that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success, that education is the great equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy. Most important, I believe that America must lead in the world with courage, conviction and a sense of honor and humility.
He added, "I voted for Joe Biden."

There is still a lot of innovation going on in the U.S. but there are powerful entrenched interests that have a great deal of influence on the political scene. Refer back to Senator Whitehouse's briefing in the ACB hearings that we discussed last last week. Dark money in politics and astroturfing is a lot of what is wrong with the country.
