  1. It is genuinely remarkable to watch a man completely untethered from reality, and millions of people marching right along with him.
  2. Newest Pod Save America episode has some good info from Jon on what the experience was like, what we didn't see, and how it feels to be the first one out and watch each subsequent person join him, etc. (DISCLAIMER: it's a left-leaning political podcast, so avoid if that fact makes you feel things)
  3. Manchin, for all his faults, had easily the highest WAR among senators in at least the past decade. A fence-straddler isn’t the ideal Democratic Senator, but it’s loads better than Ted fucking Cruz.
  4. The New Era recipe: One (1) traditionally jacked male One (1) traditionally hot chick One (1) person over 40 Fifteen (15) Survivor super fans who went to elite colleges and have crippling anxiety
  5. Completely baseless speculation: this stuff won’t be any worse than everything else we already know about him, but Republicans are finally worried enough about NC polling that they will strategically use this to try and shake up the races.
  6. Potential NC implications: Honestly can't even begin to speculate what could be worse than the endless Robinson information already out there.
  7. Okay yeah, but besides that...
  8. Purely anecdotal, but of all the "deeply religious" people I know, Mormons seem to be the most consistent in following the words/actions of Jesus in the bible and don't just use religion as an excuse to discriminate. I think there's definitely something here.
  9. They desperately need to go back to two starting tribes. Starting the game with only 6 per tribe encourages overthinking the early votes, which is how obvious first boots like Andy (like Bhanu last year) undeservingly survive. Jon got a bad draw of a tribe - don't think there's any way he ever fully meshed with that group - and likely would have been gone soon regardless, but he didn't deserve to go first.
  10. These attacks have made it pretty clear who really meant "we support Israel's right to defend itself but they are being reckless in Gaza" and who will find reasons to bitch at anything Israel does.
  11. There would be a mushroom cloud where the Fox News headquarters used to be if Kamala loses the popular vote but wins the EC.
  12. "They're illegal because I say so" is quite the message.
  13. One part of this whole thing that has gone woefully under-discussed is the fact that there were never any rumors of Haitians eating dogs before the debate! It was, and has been, only cats. DONALD TRUMP WAS SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS STORY THAT HE BLURTED OUT THE WRONG ANIMAL. MOTHERFUCKER HAD A 50/50 CHANCE AT NAMING THE CORRECT COMMON HOUSEHOLD PET AND BLEW IT!
  14. The funny thing about building a "convention bump" into your model is that there actually has to be a convention bump. If Harris continues to receive positive polls when the model is saying the bump should have worn off, then that chart will continue to quickly and rapidly correct itself. (As most everyone predicted would happen.)
  15. Donald Trump got more votes in California than any other state. Logically it makes sense, but I think people tend to forget about how many fucking people live in these big states. Even a 60/40 Dem split is a fuckton of MAGA.
  16. Really shameless, even for Ted.
  17. Nate Silver is no longer with 538. In fact, I am convinced their rosy forecast for Kamala is one of the largest driving factors behind him doing… whatever the fuck he’s doing now.
  18. I'm more and more convinced this is a must for the campaign. Rogan/Theo/etc. are not combative interviewers, it will not be a trap. Like many have said previously, the goal isn't necessarily to win their vote (although I do think there's a possibility of that happening in non-negligible numbers) it's to convince them that Kamala winning isn't some country-ending scenario. When you continue to allow your enemy to define you to a specific demographic with no pushback, then you cannot be surprised when they believe it.
  19. I’m telling you, both of them with Rogan or Theo or one of the other right-leaning but not explicitly Republican podcasts would have a higher potential rate of return than almost anything else they could do.
  20. Aside from a UFC fight or NASCAR race, this is probably the friendliest environment imaginable for him.
