    States that voted for Biden lost jobs double the rate of Republican ones

    States that voted for Biden lost jobs double the rate of Republican ones during pandemic as 13 of the 14 states with the most significant pandemic job losses went for the Democratic candidate, led by Nevada with job losses of 10.2 percent, and Hawaii at 9.3 percent.

    Job losses during the pandemic differed significantly by party affinity as Democratic states averaged job losses of 6.2%, versus 2.5% in Republican ones

    Difference might be due to severity of pandemic restrictions on the economy
    Republican states are also less likely to have large cities and service economies

    More severe job losses might have swayed voters against the incumbent Trump

          Democratic states with major cities had mostly shifted to service oriented economies being more dependent upon tourism ,food, and entertainment etc. Making up for jobs lost when industries pulled up stakes. That in itself would be enough to sway the stats.

                This raises the question....

                When Biden continues a particular Trump economic policy, and there is a good sized list of examples,

                Does that mean it is a good move by Biden or was a bad move by Trump?

                Honestly don't know which way y'all will break on this, maybe people don't know themselves.

                    All I know is, nobody can bring themselves to say a good thing about Biden.

                    But hey, not that he's being pigeonholed as a failed Dem candidate or anything.

                      I can say something good about Biden. Compared to Obama, I can listen to him without an overwhelming desire to smash a brick against his face.

                        he is not pigeon holed,

                        he earned that with 47 years as a career senator, and not a good one,
