do you have any idea how close those elections have been though? 2020 Trump lost by about 7% of the vote. And that was a year with huge turnout for the DFL and a very bad year for trump. 2016, trump lost to hilary by about 1.5 %.
MN is not quite a swing state, but it’s quite close to being one. Particularly when elections are coming down to less than a percentage point.
In 2020, that Trump lost by 200,000 votes. That’s what that 7% represents. That’s not close.
Two hundred thousand. Out of three million, two hundred votes.
You’re talking about a rounding error. In an election where Trump’s economy was in the shitter, with millions of deaths from a horribly mismanaged COVID, and all the other shit I’ve repressed because they’re just sooo much shit; and all of that motivating massive amounts of turnout for democrats and depressing turnout for republicans.
Sorry, and again, Hillary in ‘16 barely squeaked out 1.5%; and is perhaps a better comparison. Minnesota is not, and has not ever been solid blue. It may not be a swing state, but it’s close to one.
