So, you are arguing that the existing population should want to have their lives upended, real estate taxes raised, schools over-crowded, family and friends priced out of their homes, quaint neighborhoods turned into skyscraper projects, an

The definition of the word matters. Preoccupation implies distraction, and no one, including yourself, would hire/pay a person that is distracted.

This sounds logical and hopeful, but even a casual survey of the current lot of political leaders on all sides is very disappointing. Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Barak Obama, Pete Buttigieg, AOC, an

They might still get control of the Senate and the House, which is like winning the Super Bowl with a last minute field goal. They’ll take it if it happens and the teams (political talking points) will all be different in 2 years anyway.

It does not help. It basically serves several purposes: 1) forms a talking point for political speculators in media to get views and clicks 2) used by political strategists to figure out what lies they can tell voters 3) used by political p

The statistics are nonsense and do not represent a significant population. First of all, way beyond 11% of the population would be outside of the voting age, and/or unable to or unwilling to vote anyway. Second, how could these people
