Kamala Harris announced as Biden's running mate

There is a very real possibility of this - the silent majority is talked about often.

The silent majority is a myth that comes from Richard Nixon, of all people. There is no silent majority, polling is largely accurate.

What there are however, are voters and non-voters. Not everyone who gets picked up by a poll is actually going to vote. Trump won because among other things he appealed to certain very strong voting demographics - such as older white people. Young people show up for Sanders rallies but they don't vote in large numbers, hence Sanders getting crushed by Biden in the end.

The question going into 2020 is whether Trump can corral the same voter support as he did in 2016. Signs so far are not auspicious for him, but we will have to see.

Funny part is that she would probably feel right at home with Pence and friends on things like sex work.

This is a really good documentary on this, and really does show what a snake she is. She claims to be for womans rights and social justice, but actively sought to further criminalise prostitution.

FWIW, that shyteshow was very hijacked in the games at the end of the day. Backpage was trying to evade responsibility for facilitating child prostitution using things like the US Communications Decency Act (even a problem today where it's abused). At the time it was shown how easy it was to identify repeat offenders. What came later was a separate circus.

Let's just separate those two issues.
