If this holds for NE, it’s safe to say that NE will change the electoral college process for 2028 and looking forward to redrawing that district in 2031.

Great. Positive structural changes to increase the number of voters who actually matter in presidential politics will be reversed because of GOP insecurity.

Where has this Democratic Party been my whole life?

She's trailing with men, so during the big game, that Trump has invested nearly his whole day in, they run a fantastic smack-talk political ad.  That's some well down prowrestling shit.  And that's normally Trump's niche, which is maybe why she is trailing with men. Stupid fucking men. You don't need to know a thing about policy.  You just need to know that Trump is a massive pussy*.  The viewing audience will see him wave to the crowd, with his stupid grin, and then watch her call challenge him to a fight.  Fucking beautiful.

*honestly, I looked for a synonym that would convey the same fullness as meaning.  But, nothing fit the bill.  The fact that pussy shares two meanings, one of which is wonderful, and the other is not, is just an accident of the English language.

The Trump campaign seems to be focusing ad dollars on the actual important issues, like transgender surgery for inmates. I guess this is what his white thrash fan boys are thinking about at night.

They just showed Dotard at the game

Good! The people that resonates with are already voting for him.

siap NYT says Michigan and Wisconsin too close to call.

Weren't they one of the polls with known funky methodology, which nobody is taking seriously? I have a hard time believing them. Or am I misremembering?

 

Michigan: 

Harris: 48

Trump: 47

 

Wisconsin:

Harris: 49

Trump 47

Sure. But if this turns out to be a blowout, what are the chances he routes for the dominant team instead of the state he needs.

ALL the polls suffer from VERY low response rate: 1 in 40 callers take the survey. NYT divulged their 2.5% response rate in explaining big intra-poll chains in swing state results.

I do not view polling, in its current public iteration, as instructive when the contest is so close.

Atlas is a super far right wing pollster. Just fyi

What do you think about the NYT poll I mentioned above?

Wife (no pics) and I just took a ride around our neighborhood in SW Austin. 4 houses with Harris signs. None with Trump signs, fwiw.

Saw this one, too (on the left), which I want.

Well in that case, I’ll stop by tomorrow and get a capocollo & cheese, double meat, double cheese, add 2 fried eggs, no tomato. 

I realized as I drove through a town today that there are actually quite a few Republican gubernatorial candidate yard signs. But none of them have a Trump sign.  Not super instructive in western WA but the local republicans don’t seem proud trumpers.

NYT has been slightly to the right but not egregiously so. Throw them on the pile

don’t forget about public schools that are performing transsexual surgeries to students but they better not ask for an aspirin 

Oh hey, a big lead blown? Right in front of Trump?

I hope they don’t do those surgeries in the same room where they keep the litter boxes for the furries

On the sign front - I live in the suburb of Houston where Abbot went door knocking. There are three houses with Trump signs up that I’ve seen so far (main roads in and out and some side streets).

Probably bailed out early when he realized he wasn’t getting enough airtime as Taylor does.

I would never put up a Harris yard sign. Too many crazy MAGA nuts in my neighborhood.

Have seen 11 Trump and 4 Harris signs in my neighborhood in a town of 5000 people near Frisco.

Pretty much every Trumper I talk to just says something about high grocery and gas prices. Thats their marching orders. That and illegals.

Vance has a new media strategy: Drown them in boos https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/28/jd-vance-press-hostile-00181455

Quote

 

When Vance takes questions from the press, supporters jeer the questions and cheer him on.

TRAVERSE CITY, Michigan — JD Vance had built a human wall of supporters behind him, and the press here was about to pay for it.

Inside an open-air barn at the Northwest Michigan Fairgrounds, Vance, who favors questions from local reporters before national ones at his events, called on the Traverse City Record-Eagle reporter, who identified himself as the “hometown” scribe.


Before he even got his question out — a relatively anodyne one about housing costs — the reporter endured a hail of boos as the Republican vice presidential nominee smiled.


“We’re having fun,” Vance told the 65-year-old staff writer Peter Kobs, who knew many of the people in this venue. “You’re allowed to ask your question; they’re allowed to tell you how they think about it. That’s OK. This is America.”

It was canceled because there was a temporary flight restriction due to numbnuts being there.

Next time you hear that, ask them if they know what caused the inflation under Biden. (Hint: one large driver was the 2020 government stimulus checks Trump sent out with his name printed on them.) 

 

Some here seem annoyed that some polls show trump ahead in swing states. I want more polls to show that. We need to motivate Dems and anti-Trump republicans to show up to vote.

That’s not how non-religious works. The non-religious are not a coherent group, defined by a common identity and creed. It’s just a bunch of individuals who look at groups that meet weekly to reinforce their shared delusions and think “Fuck that weird shit.” We don’t sit in some massive hall every Sunday and talk about how much we all don’t believe in fairy tales or discuss plans to evangelize for critical thinking. We just each wake up and do our own thing, individually going about our days without wasting time thinking how best to confirm our lives to the perceived commands of some boring work of fantasy fiction.

The non-religious will always be at a distinct organizational disadvantage compared to pretty much any cult. 

And, as I said on another thread religion/Christianity is not the cause of the disaffection that drives these fuckers, it's a symptom.  A community in which they can find like-minded people led by demagogues willing to exploit them.
