(159,876 posts)43. So you were watching EVERY media format 24/7 in order to determine that?

The campaign focused the MOST $$$ on the swing states like PA. They visited those states multiple times and Walz was even over on your side of the state a couple times.
These fuckers who voted for 45 didn't give a SHIT about "the economy". You can read or even watch the interviews with them. You see them RIGHT NOW, as they watch ICE drag their farm workers out of the fields and load them onto planes to remove from the country, yet are still raving about how they will "still stand by" 45 and he'll "make it right" and demand that people "give him more time".
They are psychotic.
Birds of a feather, flock together and they joined the cult flock and will make everyone pay the price.

If we're going to talk about the ADP Employment Report, we should go to their site to see how they measure things.
