    God that 5% is just such flagrant bait, too.

    Yeah, that seems achievable…on the surface.

    Except almost every presidential election of my lifetime was less than a 5% margin to begin with. With the exception of Reagan, every single one has been <10%.

    That 5% is legit the most important part of the fucking election. And it’s a carrot to draw out “enlightened centrists” who can’t see past their own eyebrows.

    If the greens get it, it’s essentially a “thanks for the assist!” from the Republicans, no matter what…because that margin is enough to enable them to win.

    And the way this government is going, do you think they’d even see the money 4 years later?
