Nah, race was a dead heat two weeks after the debate debable. The knives came out for for Biden from inside the house before the polling tanked.

But that's not what I'm on about regarding Pelosi. As recently as 10 yrs ago it looked like the democrats were going to walk into a demographically guided era of dominance where the GOP seemed destined to implode. Latinos were heavy democrat supporters and looked primed to push Texas blue within a decade, and key GOP constituents (old white people) were set to shuffle off to the great beyond while getting replaced in the electorate by their far more progressive kids and grandkids.

Fast forward a decade and latinos have pivoted from being heavy democrat to a toss up demographic and young white men are Trumpers while the only demo the Dems appear to be gaining with are the richer white children of WW2 veterans who are getting a sneaky feeling that today's politics are starting to sound like the stories they used to hear about. The democrats have bottled this nearly every step along the way, and the only democrats who seem to have understood how to win in this environment weren't Nancy's choices. Oh, she makes you think they were her choice after they win the nomination, but she always rides both sides of the fence until a winner emerges.

Zeke had it right earlier, everything is a chess move to her. There's no principles necessary, just pure politics. Even fucking Mitch believes in something. They're all shit things, but the bullshit and manuevering is all to satisfy ideological goals.
