Is it my imagination or is this the most attention a VP search has ever received? Probably because of the condensed time frame I guess.

I think the lack of a primary or incumbent adds to it. The field was wide open.

Can we still post here about smash burger availability? 

Yeah fucksticks, no VP talk in the…. um…. election thread.

Just like I better not see the name Quinn Ewers in the 2024 football season thread.

You run a generally tight ship with a great experience but man sometimes you come out of deep right field with some strange shit.

This is the thread everyone is reading and the VP shit is the hottest topic in the presidential election right now but whatever … rules are rules!

If we are forced to only talk about VP stuff in one specific thread, then I humbly suggest that the title of that thread have some indication that it is for VP discussion…. Because it currently does not.

You have to take it to the "Smash burger's that democratic VP candidates prefer" thread. Not to be confused with the "Which VP candidate would your wife smash" thread.

Take it to the stock market thread, but not the one not in the cloakroom because this involves CR related material, so you need to start a new thread in this forum (or find a very old thread and bump it).  Ideally the new thread title should be something like "place to discuss things other than the stock market" to make it really clear that it is the stock market thread.

As a resident of Collin County, if it were to flip the whole damn state is flipping. Collin is still quite Trumpy/Maga.

Even with all the growth coming into that county? I assume it's gerrymandered to shit? I don't know enough about that area.

Yeah it is the closest of the big counties I listed to flipping....within 4-5% at least in the 2020 election 

I was gonna say Collin County is closer to center than maga strong, heck Allen rejected all the sitting maga city council members and replaced them a few months ago in their city council elections.

Sometimes I think there's a Helobious type thing going on, where he just wants to see the rise he gets out of people. It's very strange.

Obviously there’s room for improvement in the doral kitchen. Uuuuhhh which  is owned by the presumptive R nominee.

Tracking poll. 

Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Morning Consult is conducting thousands of surveys every day, asking registered U.S. voters if they plan to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris or former President Donald Trump in November, as well as how they view these candidates and other top political figures

In LA during the Olympics I see plenty of Kamala ads and no Trump ads. There are however some sad ass "Everything sucks. Gas is so expensive. Its the democrats fault" ad that plays over and over sponsored by the Western States Petroleum.

In my opinion the best way to combat reachable Trump voter types is to challenge their perception that everything sucks in the world. Instead of Simone Biles and Celine Dion and Noah Lyles people are focusing on stupid negativity because its what they are being fed online. 

People often yearn for the 90s, and the 90s were great. But in the 90s there were a bunch of people that listened to Rush Limbaugh that thought the 90s sucked. The post pandemic 2020s are great, but people have a million Rush Limbaughs in their pocket with a VESTED INTEREST IN MAKING YOU BELIEVE THINGS ARE SHITTY

I've def said, as have others, that Harris exudes positivity and joy.  People want that.

Even Trump is like 'gotdamn that thing is ugly!'

I don't think it's that weird, VP talk and candidate search were always a different thread. The problem is Kamala shored everything up within like 8 hours so that thread didn't have a purpose because it became general election talk. VP search should have been split out a while ago but I just didn't think about it and would rather have it there so it's easier to re-read later on. 

It's also going to be the main gamethread for the DNC instead of this one, because this isn't the appropriate thread for the DNC just like the RNC had it's own thread. 

 

A LOT of updates are being missed because of the intermixed VP talk instead of just the stuff related to the race like polls and events from the candidates. I will reiterate that it's not even that strict of moderation it's just making this fast moving thread a little bit easier to follow for the non f5ers.
