Certainly more likely than the reverse 

The election is going to be one of 4 outcomes:

-Trump narrowly wins, aka, 2016 or 2000 (narrowly wins enough swing states to exceed 270 while losing the popular vote by 1-2+%) (expected EV total would be like 281-303 for Trump)
-Harris wins easily, aka, 2012 and all the polls showing a close race are stupidly wrong (wins 300+ EVs easily and the PV by 5+%) (expected EV total would be like 319-349 for Harris)
-Harris wins a squeaker, aka, reverse 2016 (narrowly wins enough swing states to just exceed 270 while winning the PV by 2-3%) (expected EV total would be like 276-292 for Harris)
-Harris wins a close one that isn't *that* close, but looks close, aka, 2020 (exceeds 300+ EVs while winning the PV by 3-4%)  (expected EV total would be 292-303 for Harris)

There are a couple of worrying (albeit minor trends)

1.  African American votes are 178k thus far, only approximately 29% of the vote.  

2.  Fulton County (Atlanta proper) has only 72k out of 891k from 2020 votes cast thus far - this lags the state numbers, albeit on a minor level.  Dekalb County, also a Democratic stronghold is lagging the state number as well.  

3.  By age - 291k of cast votes are from those 65 and older.  (Not fretting this, the older typically vote early)

 

 

We (Blacks) are notorious for being on CP time.

We will come thru…just later.

This.  There are a lot of quiet racists out there. I grew up a white kid in lily white Kansas, but I grew up in a meat packing town so there were a lot of races there to take advantage of, at the time, well paying meat packing jobs for unskilled labor. A lot of immigrants would come for those jobs.  Growing up my siblings and I had Hispanic, black, and Asian friends in school and they would come over to play and stay overnight all the time, went on trips with us, etc. I never heard my parents use racial slanders. They always treated my friends well. In college, at 20 years old, I am dating a black coed. I come home during break and my father pulls me aside. He tells me it is okay to date a black woman, just don't marry one. I am pretty floored because I had never seen my father indicate he was racist in any way. I just looked him in the eye and told him if I did decide to marry a black woman he better get on board and treat her like a queen or else he'd never be a part of my life from the wedding day forward.  At least he raised me right and did not expose me to his racism as a child, even if in the end his view on this made me lose a lot of respect for him permanently, as an adult. My parents divorced the next year, Dad re-married and became a Southern Baptist like his bible thumping, new wife. My step-mom will drop bigoted/racist comments from time to time, mostly about whatever new immigrant group is working at the meat packing plant when I visit, but my father still doesn't. I just know he silently feels the same way as my step-mom.  Dad always votes straight R and will vote for Trump again this election for the 3rd time.  No Trump talk, no Trump flags, no Trump paraphernalia, no Trump signs, etc. His Trump support is silent.  Just like his racism. 

This fucking sucks and I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

Yeah pretty much.  I stand by my prediction that NC flips because Robinson drags down Trump, AZ stays blue because of Lake being a drag and abortion on the ballot, but since Georgia has no Senate or Governor race or abortion referendum, it narrowly flips back. 

Another 90k votes in Georgia as of mid-day

Another 200k day not off the table - could potentially hit 700k votes in 3 days.

I hate gun culture so fucking much. Obviously grew up in Texas, so you know protection and all that, sure, whatever. But people who make guns their life, or sport, or any of that shit? Fucking disgusting as hell. It's cringy in the exact same way Tim The Tool Man Taylor's obsession with power tools was supposed to be a joke, like normally people don't make their entire lives about a fucking tool. I live behind a gun range now, and starting friday evening until sunday night, it's like a fucking war zone. My senior dog, 15 years old, gets fucking terrified when we go for walks because it's like the fourth of july 3 days a week, every week. And of course, the one fucking time I actually brought MY gun to the gun range for safety training, the moment me and my dad's brown asses stepped through the door, everybody got quite and stared at us and didn't say a fucking word until we left.

Growing up, even in fucking Texas, the way people glorify guns wasn't common. I see people with AK47 stickers on the back of their trucks every goddamn day. It legitimately reminds me of what we were told Afghanistan was like after 9/11, how "terrorists" were flashing their AKs everywhere. But it's ok when bubba beer belly down the street does it because he's white and delightsome. Like, no, I don't feel safe with the dipshit who occasionally takes a swig of skoal because he mixed up his cans holding a deadly weapon.

Fuck guns and their stupid fucking culture.

I think the plan is IF dotard gets elected, Vance and his backers will have Donny 25th'd out of office.  And Vance WOULD do this and all the other Project 25 bullshit. 

right, and i heard we're hiring nick saban too.

i said "it won't be a problem" at the end, because he will lose. but if by some freak occurrence, he ever became president again, he would need to be dragged from that office with his teethmarks still on it. even money he would try to have vance killed before he agreed to some succession plan.

or maybe hugo is right and he'll just resign.

god I hope you're right. I can't help but be nervous. I just wish the election was already over, it's hell on my mental life. I legitimately don't know what I'm going to do if Trump wins. Being 100% serious contemplating leaving the country type of scenario. I don't trust America to ever come back down from the edge if he's elected. I honestly believe it'll be the end of America as we know it.

Figure this place is as good as any to post it. @Pancho Curious what your thoughts are about this professor's finding from his book about the differences in black churches: https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/the-contemporary-black-church-book-african-american-religious-affiliation-presidential-election-shelton/

 

I *sort of* agree with this. 

Blacks who are Jehovah’s Witness and part of the Holiness churches have always been more right leaning. The more middle class nondenominational Blacks are also some of the ones who don’t want to be known as being “those Blacks” and can lean to the right but mostly stay Dem. 

I still see that more Blacks who go right/far right do it because they have been shunned culturally by the “in-group” Blacks in their community whether that be because of the way they talk, dress, or act.

Wasn't a state posted after day one that 74% of the new voters that weren't registered in 2020 were between ages 18-39?

I posted it, yes. But the overall % of voters in that age group got absolutely dwarfed by the olds. Of course the younger demo would be a higher % of new voters - the 18-21 group was 14-17 in 2020 lol. Plus young voters are notoriously under-registered to vote.

There have been numerous reports that the really old olds are moving more blue - maybe having their social security threatened and being told to die in order to save the economy isn't a great campaign strategy?  It's the "younger" boomers and older Gen-X that are the real shitheels.

My man Snoop

Snoop in January:

“Donald Trump?” Snoop Dogg said. “He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.”

Knight, alongside Harris and Dr. Dre, co-founded the Death Row Records record label in the 1990s, which signed Snoop Dogg early in his career. Harris was convicted of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder but was pardoned by Trump in 2021 after serving 30 years of a 25-year-to-life sentence, according to USA Today. Before leaving office, Trump pardoned Harris, along with 69 others.

“I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop added.

Back to the racist shit, did anyone else have a parent that cheered for sports teams based on the "BYU rule"? The more white kids on the team the more they liked them. It was meant in a half joke half serious way. Boomers from the South are much better than their parents or grandparents, but they're still a transitional generation on race relations.

No fucking doubt.  Seriously.  Minority populations -- especially from minority groups that this country has spent centuries shitting on -- have saved our collective asses multiple times in recent years.

The good guys won in several swing states because of the black vote and turnout.

The good guys won in AZ because of native American vote and turnout.

We (the country as a whole) don't deserve the bailout that shat-upon minorities are delivering, but we're getting it just the same.  All of us need to remember that.

My ballot gets mailed to me today. Still unsure if ballots are staged at post offices and that means the carriers deliver them today, or if they hit the mail today from some other locations, the state website is not clear on that.  Either way I expect to be able to mark it up this weekend and toss it in a drop box on Monday.   So I got that going for me, which is nice. 

Must be nice.  Here, if someone mails something it takes at least a full week to receive it even if it's only across town.

All it took was some Parisian dressage with Martha Stewart for him to see the light.

Republicans got smart in 2020 and realized how stupid and easily influenced most rappers are. Got in their ear with right ring talking points and money. You seriously will not find 1 mainstream rapper that supports Harris. Snoop, Ice Cube, Kanye, are all pretty vocal Trump supporters. Eminem ironically is not.

Me personally, no. Parents cheered for their school teams when they were still the segregated teams of their childhoods, then kept on cheering for the same teams when they were integrated.

Dad also cheered for the Packers because he played high school ball with Bart Starr. Don't remember any commentary about race of players.

BUT down the street there were a couple of twangy families who no doubt did so. I remember one of their moms saying a little rhyme to the effect that Auburn's team was white and Alabama wasn't. But they were country.

Is Ice Cube still considered a rapper?

I was going to say, all that post tells me is that Helobious is now an old. None of those guys are mainstream rappers. Snoop is famous for being himself, Ice Cube is an actor you see sometimes, and Kanye is that crazy guy who married Kim Kardashian and interrupted Taylor Swift. This isn't 2006.

Nope, because my parents were actually, literally not racist. I grew up with Hakeem Olajuwon posters in my bedroom, the Rockets were our favorite sports team, and not because of Scott Brooks. My mom's favorite Texas Longhorn is Vince Young. My dad's favorite Astros coach is Dusty Baker.

Back in my Jr. High / HS days, the racist kids rooted for the Celtics while those of us that were cool rooted for the Lakers.

Vice President Kamala Harris celebrated Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary on Saturday (Sept. 9). Harris threw the star-studded event at her D.C. home, inviting over 400 guests. Rap royalty including Common, Lil Wayne, Slick Rick, D-Nice, Doug E. Fresh, Jeezy, MC Lyte, Roxanne Shante, and more popped out for the house party.

A few older guys might be dumb enough to support Trump but the hip hop world is not likely to be friendly territory for him or other MAGAts
