Old Freak Nasty

I'd like for mega-donor and corporate sponsorship of politicians to be banned. Then I'd be fine with being bludgeoned by fundraising texts by politicians every hour.

I don't know what you mean. It was the bestest economy. No one had better tariffs. We had so many white jobs. Some would call it the perfect economy.

I thought I had read an article somewhere a year or so ago about the effects of natural disasters on voting patterns and that there was no correlation to any shift.

Seems like we are in spitting distance of picking off the Senate seat. That would be a great outcome considering what the state has become since the 2018 election.

Hi JD Vance!

There was also no Fox News 100 years ago. What's happening now is a systemic two pronged assault on a functional democracy. Destroying educational attainment and critical thinking skills coupled with focus group tested non-stop propaganda. The combination of the two has broken morality for 45% of the electorate.

Is this specific to national polling? When the same firms conduct swing state polls are they using similar methodology prone to the same under-representation? This seems to point to an ass kicking which I can't get myself to believe yet.

Do they not realize that to have any chance to excise Trump they need to vote FOR Harris? He needs to be beaten so badly that even the GQP will dump him. Sitting out doesn't really run up the margins needed for the party to summon the courage to overthrow dear leader. But of course logic doesn't reign even amongst the educated elites in the GQP.

This seems like the absolutely best case scenario if if Trump gets 90% vote share of the undecideds. A good reminder that even given the trainwreck of his campaign, he can win. We all need to vote early so election day shenanigans cannot happen. People turned away, a shooting at a voting location early in the day that scares urban voters from standing in long lines, etc.

The only time the GQP asks or demands for accountability of it's own members is when evidence mounts of his/her elect-ability loser stench. Fuck all these people but I'll have my popcorn ready when the tables turn on Trump as he finds himself on the way to prison and Trump napalms any last sign of the party trying to move on with his idiot MAGAts in tow. We need to all push Harris across the finish line so we can bear witness to the self-immolation of the GQP.

Since Haitians is code for non-white, it might affect Usha's kids. I only say might in terms of before the election. They will eventually feel the hate.

I'm not sure how the numbers would work out, but wouldn't any statistical model give Trump a significant chance at PV victory? The raw numbers for the 2020 election was 51.8 to 46.8 percent. Texas was almost a flip of that result, 52.06 to 46.48 percent. I'd believe the soundness of a model that formulated Harris had a 40% chance of winning Texas, even if I also know that there's no chance in hell of it happening. Same for the general. It's not like the polls or actual results are indicating a 20 point pummeling (they should, but alas).

Generally I agree, but I'd say in North Carolina this is probably the favored outcome at this point in time. If Harris nabs NC, she's going to win the whole enchilada of swing states and put Florida within spitting distance. Texas, of course, will remain stupid.

Dick Cheney is the second most vile and evil American politician ever by a good margin and he's saying he is voting for a Democrat black woman over the only piece of shit who has managed to usurp him from his rightful place at the top of that list. That is something.

Reading mainstream news websites tonight, I'm struck by how far these outlets are going to "report" the news that the race, at this point in time, is razor thin and is a moments away from Trump leading again. Cloaking themselves in the cape of margin of error, they not so transparently editorialize for clicks. Even given the litany of evidence that Trump is scattershot and incoherent, they almost universally make the claim that Harris is the one to be afraid of Trump's rhetoric. None of it makes sense in the slightest and none of it is news. It's a big ass op-ed cesspool, fooling less informed readers into thinking Trump is leading fishing for rage and fear clicks. I'm not sure if there is even a point I'm making, other than I really should just stick to this thread to get the polling. If the election was today these outlets would be proven massively wrong, as Harris would bludgeon Trump. That said, the election is still a while away and things could certainly swing in his favor just enough for him to squeak by. But the only candidate that has a path to an EC bloodbath is Harris, the polling seems to point. MSM is disingenuous. That might be serving a point in that we have to resource this fight through election day and not take a vote for granted no matter how good it looks in the present. It still annoys the hell out of me reading these stupid articles.
