    50 out of 50 states shifted to the right for one reason or another. Voter suppression has nothing to do with that.

    You can either blame the voter suppression boogeyman or you can try to figure out why even deep blue states with no voter suppression started shifting rightward. Whatever makes you feel better.

      It is a combination of things, voter suppression being one of them and a common tie breaker in battleground states.

      When there is a shift, voter suppression is a common denominator on flipping close states. I’m just talking about one part of the overall issue, not saying it is the entire issue.

      Since California was your chosen state to target:

      Trump got less votes this time than before, the Dems lost way more, and still beat him by a pretty decent margin

      What this tells you should be pretty fuckin obvious, because it’s been said loudly since before the election: the Dems ran a dog shit campaign that even their usual supporters hated. Courting the Cheney’s was a mistake
