  1. To give some context, the final 2016 Selzer poll was Trump + 7 (he won by 9). The final 2020 Selzer poll was Trump +7 (he won by 8).
  2. Fun story. My grandfather (a classic conservative republican) was a dentist and the mayor of a mid size city in Texas in the 70s. During his stint as mayor, he pushed through a policy to add fluoride to the city water. I remember him telling me that the local yokels were convinced he was poisoning the city. Over 50 years later, that same city will overwhelmingly vote to go back in time. Incredible
  3. Feels like Florida just missed an opportunity to throw a 1 yard swing pass to a running back.
  4. Half this thread (if not more) voted for Bush, but I don’t think a single one would stand up for him now. Most have realized they were duped by their upbringing and environment (although some still cling to some silly notion of fiscal conservatism or libertarianism).
  5. No need to apologize. It’s pretty gross.
  6. I see this from a fair number of my partners at work (all white men of course). A combination of taxes (mostly imaginary concerns) and Lina Kahn. A lot of “well I hate Trump the person but I hate these crazy left policies more”. Drives me crazy from a moral standpoint, but if it’s not changing by round 3, it’s not changing.
  7. I mean, that’s great, but has there been an election she has publicly said democrats were not going to win?
  8. One of my faves. That first drop from the staircase is special
  9. One problem Trump has on the legal front is that representing him is toxic for the big firms that have the elite practice groups he needs. Ted Olson ain’t walking through that door. Jones Day was about the only big shop that was willing to represent him, but I think I read an article that even they were sitting this one out.
  10. MADS on Shudder. Fuck. Yes.
  11. I thought we were told to only pay attention to Ralston in Nevada and ignore the polls?
  12. Buddy, you really need to increase your cocktail of ritalin and ozempic and go touch some grass this week.
  13. Nobody needs to hear about your dating life, brother.
  14. In that imaginary scenario I’d probably feel good, but I’m not convinced that’s the correct framing of the situation. But again, I’m not out here analyzing and unskewing polls and EV data, so I hope you all turn out to be right.
  15. This thread is about the only data point (using that term facetiously) I have for hopium at this point. All other anecdotal evidence in my real life signals a Trump win, even while living in an ostensibly blue bubble like Manhattan. Hope the sentiment/AI on this thread prevails, but I’m expecting 4 years of shit.
  16. We should just sticky this and lock the thread. It’s frustrating, because he’ll have a game like 23 Alabama or 24 Michigan where it seems like the light switch flips all the way on and he’s finally taken the next step to a game changing, elite QB. But the quarterback we saw at Vandy is by and large what we’re going to get, with a few outlier games like Michigan (tremendous) and Georgia (putrid). That’s enough to beat most teams, but probably not good enough to win it all.
  17. Sure, but Vance went to Ohio State for undergrad, so not sure we can lay all the blame on those mean old east coast elites
  18. Certainly not as impressive as the corn dogs’ showing tonight.
  19. Quinn was meh today, but the entire offense shares the blame for keeping this close. Thank god for the defense (minus one very stupid play by VB).
  20. This is actually a great one.
  21. Overlord is awesome It’s not Shaun of the Dead or Scary Movie, but there is absolutely a significant amount of intended comedy (particularly in overall tone and presentation), just like in Evil Dead II, etc. And plenty of contemporary writing comments on it as such.
  22. Sadly I think Trump wins it with something in the 285 range. I think he’ll flip back Georgia, flip at least one of the blue wall states (not all 3), and one or both of NV or AZ. Old, white, male Joe Biden and the pandemic were the perfect recipe in 2020, but the shit bags have short memories and a distaste for female leadership. The next 4 years are going to suck.
  23. Drag Me To Hell - this kind of kitschy, Sam Raimi comedy horror just doesn’t do it for me. I’m not in suspense, I’m not scared and I’m not laughing, so I don’t get the point. I know it’s blasphemous, but I feel the same way about Evil Dead II. Just not my jam. Apartment 7A - my wife requested this. Boring and uninteresting.
  24. Yes, Slacks, our lives are hanging on this anecdote. We need to know whether to dismiss it out of hand only as further evidence as to how lost Texas is, or cling to it as a data point for how far reaching Kamala is!
